  1. Are you positive that it cannot be done in DCS? Thanks W
  2. Thanks I'll got try to learn the TARGET software now! :)
  3. I am using TM WARTHOG. I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA on how to do any of that. I can't believe that ED wouldn't just let you assign that in the controls setup. Possible? Thanks Will
  4. Is there a way to assign the mouse click to a joystick button? That way I can stay on the HOTAS.
  5. Is there a way to assign the mouse click to a joystick button?
  6. So guys... I keep scrolling mouse around the cockpit and running my cursor off the small DCS window on my main screen that a spectator would watch me fly from. So when that happens, I loose control of DCS. Is there a way to rectify this? Thanks Will
  7. Hi guys, is the TF and the P the same as far as flight model and options? W
  8. The difference in power between 60 and 72" turns the P51 into an amazing performer. Will
  9. Just curious: Where the 72" Manifold pressure number came from. I fly real world Mustangs and we would never use more than 61" on a stocker. The manual in a "D" or "K" would allow 61" or up to 67" if in an emergency. But that time above 61" was supposed to be logged and maintenance possibly would be performed(the real crews may have pulled the plugs or oil screens or some other things but I actually don't remember what I was taught about the post flight High power WW2 maint sched.) I do know that with 115-145 octane which was considered "HIgh Test" fuel, that you are limited in MP even if you could get more than 67" out of the blower, on a hot day, you could detonate the combustible air charge prior to proper time so Detonation or pre-ignition could occur and parts get destroyed in the engine. At Reno, when we run high power, we put a 50/50 mix of water and Methanol injected into the air intake after the blower and prior to the intake valves to cool the compressed air charge that got heated up by the blower. Many more variables there but the concern is potentially a too hot air charge going into the cylinders. I have forgotten which late model 51's had water injection(ADI or Anti Detonation Injection)Maybe anything with a dash 7 or dash 9 ran ADI and 80" but still 3000RPM.We run up to 150" and 35-3600 RPM when pylon racing. This allows the carb to be deriched which means it brings the very rich fuel/air mixture into "Best Power" and more horsepower is gained from the combustion. (Like a few hundred when dealing with the 1490 HP of an early dash number Merlin). The RPM is governed by the prop governor so the RPM Remains Constant and so does the MP when ADI is turned on. You would just see an increase in performance and "IF" you had a fuel flow guage, youd see a 16-18% decrease in fuel flow. Basically, I'm just pointing out that the 72" number is a "Could be" but I have not seen too many boost controllers set to go that high.
  10. OK, Ive got it working in DCS but the pointer never goes away from the screen. Is there a command to map to a button on the stick? Also the interface seems really clunky, I'd like to go back to the mouse. Is this possible? Will
  11. Thanks! In process...
  12. Do I need to update the Rift software? I see this 1.3? What is that the new Runtime for the Rift? Will
  13. Guys, after I installed the latest update to DCS my DK2 will not connect. I am using Win 7. Any Ideas? The demo works fine. Will
  14. Seeing more crashes or same/degraded graphic performance? How do I deactivate modules?
  15. Is Windows 10 working as well as win 7 home 64bit? Can you just upgrade or do you need to do a clean install? Thanks, Will
  16. Guys, does anyone sell a stiffer spring?
  17. Can I use this file on DCS 2.0 NTTR?
  18. Do you have a text enlargement for the 960x1080 occulus rift dk2?
  19. Funny, I guess because in the real world when my CREW CHIEF told me "Disconnected" I assumed that it was like real world and instant. This sim is really fantastic, thanks for your feedback. Will Whiteside
  20. OK, I'll try it! ?Thanks!
  21. Yep ground power off.
  22. So.... I Ask the Ground Crew to disconnect Ground power and he does. Then I taxi away and he yells"HEY WHERE ARE YA GOING?" What am I doing wrong? Chocks?
  23. Is there a Hawk Profile yet?
  24. Ragtop, will the Leapmotion work at all in sim?
