The wife gave me the ok to purchase a new monitor for flight sim. My Graphics card is RTX4070, I am looking for monitor between 32 and 42 inches. My budget is $500 or less.

Thank you, MAXsenna and mkdI2010, but I want to make sure I understand. When you say set turned off deadzones, we are not talking about Axis Tuning in control settings, correct? My other question is, what do you have your Axis Tuning settings?
-
In DCS in the Options window under the Special TAB for the F16, should the Pitch & Roll Axis Force Gradient be checked on or off. I am using the WINWING Orion2 ViperAce(EX) Joystick. This is the Non Force Feedback.

What is the keyboard command for Active Pause for the F16. Where find keyboard command list?

Hello all, I have the Legend MIP with all three MFD's. When flying the F16 I can raise the brightness on the left and right MFD'S with the brightness control, but for the HSI in night mission the display is dark. Do you have to set display brightness manually in SimApp Pro?

All a friend is looking for a good all around Throttle I ask him to joint the forum but I am asking this question for him. The aircraft he fly's F16 F18 and MSFS. Would this be a good Throttle for him?

No, It is not for the force sensing. Let me give an example. Learning to do Air refueling and tried different settings and what is happening for pitch nose down is ok but nose up it is acting like have a dead zone compare to nose down. I have to give more input nose up and went it does move it is too much input. I did recalibrate, but still didn't help.

Sorry I don't know what happen, I thought I was in the WinWing forum.
Dos Thank you very much. A lot of information. I am just using the regular F16 stick. "

"Pitch & Roll Axes: Apply a negative curve between -4 to -15. This adjustment compensates for the Viper's hardcoded force-sensing curve, offering smoother and more precise control, particularly in the center zone. reddit.com+4reddit.com+4reddit.com+4"
Is this just for the force sensing.?

IMO, leave them un-tuned and symmetrical. Yes, maybe it's hard initially, but you'll figure out how to tame it quickly. And once you have tamed it, you have symmetrical controls which likely makes things easier down the road. But that's just my opinion.
If you want to mess with it, in SP you can go in and out of the bindings and play with it at will, and that's likely best way to tweak it. Try to only tweak one axis at a time so you can see what it does. I would start by adding a little curvature to flatten the centre of the response. Then increase if you still don't like it. Again personal opinion, but I would avoid deadzone if at all possible as that tends to make things jerky.
To tame things down while AARing, try gripping your stick close to the base. That will tend to dampen your movements for while you're doing that while still giving you full responsiveness the rest of the time.
Thank you very much for the advice and suggestions.

Looking for good starting control settings points for this joystick for the F16 in DCS. Axis, Saturation, dead zone. Any recommendation or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info.

All need advice on a good starting point to set up the ViperAce Stick for the F-16. I am all over the place with formation flying and AA refueling. Advice on the Axis tuning.

Hello all, I am looking for advice and suggestion for programming my Hotas for FA-18. First, let me give some background. I first purchased the Winwing Viper MIP and the WINWING Orion2 HOTAS ViperAce setup for F16 and program all the controls in DCS. A few weeks ago I completed my setup bye adding another MFD and purchasing NavyAce UFC&HUD and the WINWING Orion2 StrikeAce EX Throttle Combo for FA-18 and F15. So basically I have Legend MIP with two throttles. Now I need to program controls for the FA-18. My question is in SimApp Pro you can download other creators Key Bindings, which some of them that I liked but were missing some control that I would like to add. My question is if I use one of the profiles and add my in DCS will it save the controls in DCS or will the Key Binding in SimApp pro override them or remove them? Or is there away I use one of the profiles input my addons in DCS and save it as my personal profile Key Bindings? I hope my questions make sense.

Do you know if most everyone is using 4x32 or 128?
-
I am trying to understand SimApp pro setup. I know DCS support 128 button mode but I also fly BMS. My question is if I understand correctly is I would have to set up SimApp Pro to 4X32 to setup my controls for BMS or any other sims, and then switch back to 128 button mode for DCS? Is that correct.

Ok, I have another question. With the VR headset on, how do you turn dials and switches in the cockpit? I have the WinWing ICP and MFD'S.

Also, VR is expensive, period. Unless you buy used, or an older generation headset, you're in for a big spend.
I see the price will be high. How about the Pimax Crystal Light vs Q3 pro?

Your GPU and RAM will be the bottlenecks. But I would not upgrade the 4070 yet, unless you are already considering it. You can get some good results using Quad Views Foveated Rendering.
For a 4070 I think the 5800x3d is enough.
Another option is a Quest Pro. The eye tracking makes a massive difference.
Quest Pro at $900 is a little out of my budget. What is 5800x3d?

Your system should run a Q3 fine but you might benefit from 64Gb RAM. I have recently upgraded from a 5800x3d and 4070. You will need to compromise on settings but it's still a good experience. There is a lot of experience now on this forum to support anyone new to VR.
Thank you. You mention I may need to compromise on the settings, which component is the more the bottleneck, the CPU, Graphics card or both?

Hello all, I am new to this and just joint a squad and one of the pilots suggested I should switch to VR because I was having trouble seeing small objects on the ground trucks tanks etc. I have some questions. How do you do microphone and hear other pilots in multiplayer? I was thinking of purchasing the Meta Quest 3. Will my computer be ok to handle a VR setup. I am also using the WinWing MIP and ICP in my setup now. Any recommendations or suggestions? Computer specs below.

I did exactly the same, and went back to the default springs ... my impressions from my usage of them is that the stiffer springs are designed more for stick extensions
What I did is just change out the CAMS. I am getting used to it. Feel more like Thrustmaster now with less center

You should have gotten the force sensing for the Viper. That's how it's in the real one.

On YouTube and some forums, I hear and see good and bad reviews. Mostly the bad is related to the setup in SimApp Pro. Do you own the force sensing?

Hello all, I am new to the Winwing equipment and have received a lot of help from others here. I am still a rookie flying the F16, and the Joystick felt light to me, so I ordered the CAM spring kit. I changed out the CAM so it would have less center play but made the joystick feel stiffer. This is okay, but now I am working on my air-to-air refueling, and the stiffer feel may not be a good idea.
I would like to hear from others about the stick's play. Do you like it? If you didn't make any changes did you adjust the curve sensitivity a lot in A settings? Did you change out the CAMS, springs, or both?
