Not at all, you would have to be very heavy handed to go from idle to cutoff, as it's pretty noticeable.

Oh yeah, actually when I was there 23 sqd were till flying FGR2's and watching them do the Track-Ex up through the valleys towards Mount Alice was pretty amazing. Mt. Alice used to have a rapier battery based there, but after it was removed, the RAF still their Track-Ex's, and they'd see how low they could get over the golf balls, often low enough that they knock the various paques off the walls in the little bar up there !! They used to call us up and ask " How many?" as in how many plaques fell off the walls... mental, these pilots would have no problems flying 50' off the deck either.. I recall being on a Patrol on one of the Islands, and HMS Ambuscade was patrolling around the same area, and this FGR2 came out of nowhere, doing 400+knots, I felt I could have touched the damn thing, and she popped flares as she pulled up over the Ambuscade.. I really enjoyed my 4 month tour down there.. had some great laughs.

or pretending the Andes are Norwegian Fjord's in your Mossie

I was there 86/87, and it was barren and unforgiving, with 4 seasons showing up daily, there were no trees at all on West Falklands I was based out of Fox Bay, and only the odd small one on East Falklands, in and around Port Stanley. If it's realism you want, then no trees.. LOL even South Georgia had Feck all.

Just to whet your appetites. Initial release will be Royal Navy frigates, with both 4.5" guns ( All 26 of them!) and the Exocet fit versions ( I believe there was 12 of them)

In Collaboration with Hawkeye60, Admiral189, and Crazy Eddie, we're proud to be announcing a project that will hopefully stir up some old memories for all the old sea dogs out there. I purchased this model from CGTrader, and wanted so much to see her in game, and I approached the resident Ship SME's and boy, they didn't half deliver.. Watch this space.... release date .....soon!!! UPDATE: MOD RELEASED Base Leander https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3320020/ Royal Navy Livery pack https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3320021/

+1 from me too

I don't suppose you ever considered that the handling between China and your destination was a contributing factor of the USB becoming loose? If it's a structural weakness, then every other single Orion would have this issue that came from the same batch. All too easy for a delicate solder job to break loose if the package wasn't handled with care, and as pointed out before, mass production of any item, there's always a % that slips through QC, I've seen plenty of horror video's ( baggage handlers throwing items into holds) to support such instances, there's no doubt you had an issue, nobody was disputing that, and good you got it fixed. Mustang I believe suggested opening it up and soldering it yourself, and it would seem you took it to a repair shop who did that, I personally think you did get a bad deal, but I also believe your hostility and rudeness didn't help.. but happy for you that it's working, so enjoy..

Any updates on this??

I'm another Orion user, and very happy with my purchase, I also own the TM warthog combo, but in all honesty prefer the WW Orion, considering it's still a fairly new product, there is always bound to be some parts that slip through QA/QC and have issue, both Virpil and TM have also had issues with products in the past.

I have to weigh up the pro's and cons (see what I did there? lol) the shipping cost is pretty reasonable, but I have a feeling the Thailand customs might slap an import tax onto it, and I'd end up paying double the actual value. I like the concept/idea, I just need to see if I can come up with an alternative option

What's the shipping cost to Thailand sir?

So is slander and defamation, it's a fine line, and to be honest, the guy complaining hasn't exactly helped himself has he? Ranting and raving doesn't resolve issues, sure he has a grievance, but there's way of doing it, and resolving them. There are literally thousands of Orion users without any issues, and it's par for the course that some units that are mass produced would slip through the cracks, but chopsing off on platforms like this doesn't really help. Calling customer services an asshole is probably not the best way to resolve the case.

These links keep failing for me after about 12MB ..

To the OPIt's worth it, like every other product in the world, some defects slip past the QC, and some owners have had issues, I have used mine almost daily since I bought it, packed it up and thrown it into my cabin bag for 2 trips back home to Thailand and not had any noticeable issues, the joystick did have a slight creaking sound for a while, but that's gone, flown close to 100hrs in the F18 alone with it, I'm a very satisfied customer.

Like this ?

How do you do CAT launches ? I can see the AI lower their launch bars, unfold their wings, and launch but I can't seem to lower mine, nor hook up to the catapult shuttle

That's the bad boy, I thought I was enabling it, but was disabling it.. she's now showing thanks guys for the help.

Yes, that's correct, I have the latest open beta that included the Forrestal, but for whatever reason when I set the time stamp to 1988 or there about and try to add the new Forrestal, it doesn't show up in the drop down box. I think there is a possible conflict with another addon, possibly the VSN A6A as that also doesn't show in my aircraft drop downs, I just have not got around to editing any of the DCS missions yet to see what's the score

I shall give that a try sir, thanks

Dumb question perhaps, but I don't seem to be able to place the Forrestal in the ME, even if I set the timestamp/date to 1988.. It doesn't appear in the drop down list.. Yes I have the F14 module too

It's light enough to put into a carry on, I've taken mine to and from my work place in the Middle East back to Thailand in my laptop bag, didn't even need to take the throttle handles off, it sat nicely on the bottom of the bag, my laptop battery weighs about the same as the Throttle base.. this way I know it's never going to be in "lost luggage" it's about a 1/10th of the weight of the TM warthog.

Still not seeing the Mossie in the list ?

@Ansiral, can we have the Mossie added please ?

It looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy the P51.. all these nice modules coming out for WW2
