  1. The ghost input problem on X56 throttles is a known issue. I had the same issue. What helped me was connecting the throttle to a powered USB hub and even then I can't connect any other device to that hub. The throttle is a very power hungry device... But when you resolve the power issue, it will serve you well for many years to come.
  2. using the Tobii Game Hub, it was kinda difficult getting it to work the way I like it with head tracking only. Using FacetrackNoIR setting everything up was easy and it works like a charm. I don't use the eye tracking function because I have an ultra-wide curved screen that is quite close to me, so everytime I checked my dials, the view started to drift. When in a dogfight, or ass-to-the-ground SEAD or bombing, it can be very distracting/annoying
  3. I got the Tobii 5 and am very happy with it. Since I have a terrarium behind my flight chair, I always got IR interferrence with other systems (drove me mad). But with the Tobii I have no problems at all. FYI: I wear glasses. I am not a big fan of the eye tracking in DCS, so I turned it off and just use head tracking. What worked best for me is the Tobii in combination with FacetrackNoIR with the plugin. Tracking is smooth as butter. But if you do this, don't forget to close the Tobii Games thingie. Otherwise you get weird janks.
  4. Riiiight, just make sure there is no 'TÜV Rheinland'-Sticker on there... If so, dispose of the item and treat it as if it's nuclear waste. German customs is only interested in the VAT and import duties, they have never cared for any Chinese items I impoprted. If you really want it, order it. If for any reason it gets confiscated, you can have the item checked and approved by your countries technical certification bureau. In Germany both TÜV and DEKRA will do this. Certification costs 80-150€ Ofcourse you could always ask WinWing to put a sticker on the outside of the box stating 'Hand crafted in Wuhan', bet customs will not be so eager to open the box...
  5. Hi guys, got a question: I set Steam SS so that it calculates 2160 x 2160 on my Acer WMR headset. This still gives me a nice smooth experience even with MSAA at 2x And all textures at max. Does this mean that the Reverb should run fine on my system in native res? Thanks!
  6. I went throught these steps: - connected the board with an ST-Link v2 programmer - opened the ST-Link utility - target -> connect - target -> erase - target -> program (select the .hex, check 'reset after programming') - wait for it to complete and unplug - replug and do another target -> connect - check again if the image is written - unplug and disconnect the ST-Link programmer - plug in the micro-usb and connect to the PC - open the Freejoy Util for me that did it. FYI: I've got it running on 1.5.1b4
  7. The .hex is also in the .zip file that you download from Github. Be sure to first erase all that is on the chip. After flashing was completed, I just unplugged the cables and plugged in the usb. Worked like a charm. Also in the config util, always start by reading the current config of the board first, then make all your changes (first physical pin config, then the logical button config) and write it to the board. After you've written the config to your board, unplug it and plug it back in.
  8. Hi guys, just wanted to share my experience with Freejoy to create a simple button box. What I wanted to have is a button box that is easily used when wearing my VR headset without taking ages to find the correct button. Also, I wanted it to be usable with different aircraft models. Lastly it had to be easy to bind the inputs in-game. So I started to look around as to what was possible and Freejoy/STM32F1 seemed to be the way forward. What struck me was the ease of use... Just flash the hex on the board, select which pin is to connected to what kind of switch and configure the logical inputs. I setup all switches as button presses, so that DCS had no problem recognizing the inputs. Worked like a charm. Even the length of the button press for the rotary encoders were configurable, which made input recognision for these 100% reliable. With how I set it up the way it is, all 30 digital inputs (pins) are used and every toggle switch generate 2 button presses. The only problem I encountered is that for some unknown reason I can't save my current board config to a file on my PC. Happy flying!
  9. Hi guys, from my perspective the Viggen is a finished product and you can call it 'in production'. Small bugs are always going to show up, but I see this beauty on the same level as the KA-50 and A-10C. No other module has reached this level of perfection yet. And peeps, don't forget that some of the limitations come from DCS itself (like IFF), there's no way around that. I find the Viggen to be one of the most versitile jets in game and somehow the whole system feels natural to me. The logic behind the nav system, weapons settings, radar, flight modes,... awesome! On a side note: I drive up to the Härnösand region every year and on my way I pass Linköping where a Viggen is displayed next to the E4 highway... I always feel the urge to pull over, jump inside it and fly away
