yeah same problem, and all I can tell is the Vlink on the 2080 just isn't working out. I ended up buying a USB-C card that will hopefully fix my problems.

Was going to pick it up but no sale? reeeeeeee

I have a CV1 and it worked in the Harrier last week

I use the controllers almost exclusively aside from the rearm screen and sometimes the communications menu when using things like CTLD. I however do not use both, just the left hand. I set it next to my throttle like its on my virtual knee. I don't actually reach to click buttons either. When you grip the controller it gives you a laser pointer you can just point and click the buttons. And for right click just hold your palm up, laser pointer changes from green to blue for right click. I find this method much easier than the mouse, easier to find the hand, since I can see it. I don't have to hunt for the mouse icon, and I have a literal laser pointer to click with.

Easier than that you just turn the controller palm up to right click

US Operated + models too. I am 99% sure VMA-513 used them. I am fairly certain that was the squadron I took some A/R pictures of in the desert. 513 is no more though.

shouldn't look at it as a replacement for the A-10. It is more closely a replacement for scout Heli's with a small helping of A-10 like support. Without pulling the numbers I would imagine a Super T. is cheaper to maintain than say the now retired Kiowas.

yeah I have it too, removing head set and putting it back on fixes it every time. Someone more techy can probably figure out why but that fixes it for me.

Lol yeah I am not reading any manuals, I have enough -1's to keep up with without adding any from a game. As Storm stated, I have used Chuck's for some things I didn't know and watched some youtube. MAC is going to be good for the in between I imagine and will be a good starter sim. Maybe you are just looking at the so called Elitist wrong. More often than not games that have a high learning curve end up getting "dumbed down". I think most of the people coming across as elitist are just very defensive of our last bastion of true study combat sims. I look at it like this, if there is something difficult (any where in life) I don't look for someone to make it easier for me, I look at as a personal challenge that needs conquering. I am seeing a trend though, many of the guys saying "get better" are military. Maybe we are just assholes lol.

Will have to look again. I know I have seen a mod with MPRS, haven't seen the probe/drogue but I could be wrong. That would be cool.

Same thing I do, and I concur it works just fine. I was using both the left controller and the mouse for some things, but for whatever reason the last patch made it where you can't use both the touch and the mouse, so it is just the touch now. To add to this, I don't have any issue with picking up the touch controller. Where I put it is as if it were sitting on my knee (actually sits between my throttle and stick) so doesn't block anything and that disembodied hand is actually quite easy to grab. Only time I sometimes find it difficult is initially finding it before it is activated at the start, and sometimes the upside down right click function is a bit unnatural feeling.

All spot on. I would like to see bigger maps where I can setup scenarios where a strike package leaves out of Bahrain or Al Dhafra and need a top off before entering the AO and after. Or a dynamic campaign that can handle something realistic like taskings. That feeling of desperation when you loiter a little to long because the guys down range need you there, and you have to get to the tanker can be as exciting as anything else in game. At least to me, and I am sure the other hardcore sim guys. BTW, Altus huh? That brings back memories too lol.

As a former Boom Operator and later commissioned pilot on the other end, this is a subject close to the heart. :) I want it to be harder too, that basket needs to move with the bow wake. Also it isn't hard to leave the end of your probe in there as a gift to the boom operator. I remember two instances of being TDY, once to the West Coast flying out of Travis refueling some 18 noobs doing some refueling training and another instance doing Intial Qualification training for some 16s down in Luke. Those were the scariest refuelings I have ever been involved in, and I have done it in some crazy bad weather as both the tanker and receiver. Good times, the 18s were the first E models deploying. Later, funny enough, we worked with that same VFA while deployed. That deployment I refueled the last deployed F14 group and the first 18Es. They changed out in the middle of our deployment. Back to the game, I would like to see 135 models with the Probe/drogue attachment on the boom and one with the MPRS. Something else occurred to me. A fully loaded A10 struggled to maintain refueling speed in real life. Is this modeled? We had to do what we call toboggan refueling where we would start a shallow decent just so they could maintain speed.
