Me = dumbo, i don't get what i am voting for anyway ..

TARGET, i tried it years ago, must try that again after giving it up ... got used to NOT using it LoL. I have a Saitek pedal set added now, no problems then?

I just bought it, but it seems quite difficult to get the controls right without some extra hardware .... sooo many functions. With a warthog stick i f.i. i tried to figure out how to drop bombs all at once, now how can you do that? And then tuning the engine right as i keep loosing power and air speed.

Never heard of it .. it was on, now off, feels like i now have to tune all my axis curvatures .... now get the feeling i'm drunk.

PS Saitek pedals work OK, tested game controllers app in windows. Definitely with all planes the Trim functions via keyboard in pu don't work it seems. but when addressed via my joystick's hat button they do. It seems the Spitfire does not have an aileron trimmer?

Thnx I tried that and set it to 1.25. Ii am trying 1.75 again now; it seems only the game interface (pop ups with letters etc seem affected, not the gameplay view. Am i right? Makes a huge difference. ADDED seems quite better now!

Well, i darkened my room, and it works reasonably well now .. ADDED may 29: Opentrack v 3.2 software is out; and addressed the stray-light problems and it's far better now. ADDED dec 2023: had a new windows installation and it did not work with other sim software than DCS. Got it working there as i manually put the npclient and freetrackclient dll drivers in system32 and the 64 versions in sysWOW64 ....

The pic says it all, no squid, special version downloadable via trackhat: https://www.trackhat.org/trackhat-opentrack

Hi. Finally got the Trackhat Opentrack (3.1 version) sensor v2 working, but what ever setting i tried the game reacts very jumpy, tried adjusting smoothing and various Mapping options darkening the background. Face in Opentack App Cameraview seems to move smoothly, but in DCS it's just too jumpy to wotk with. Tips welcome. ADDED; just tested IL2 with the same settings, works OK, so it must be some DCS setting specific thing?

Right, i saw the Light ..

PS i like videos, but getting to just that point probably mentioned once briefly in a long vid manual is a thing for me, especially when you're quite deaf LoL. But i just found it, switch off 2 mags on the dash.

Thnx, CE2 in flight control Trim HAT- NOSE DOWN, and NOSE UP set to to RCntrl - L UP and RCntrl+ DOWN, the only ones. i found For the spit the only ones, and in cockpit view the two trim wheels at the left move OK, but the spit does nor react it weems: ------------------- Saitek and worn pots could be, i got it given and and is probably is about 15 years old ..

Now landing it is not too hard for me, had practiced a lot in IL2, but where and how do you stop the engine of the DCS Spit? All those control options drive me nutz ...

and now 2.8 even ..

this was a p51 .. et in title now.

Others don't seem to have this problem, but with most planes i cannot trim rudder and elevator, or nothch trim them. Windows 10 x64 enterprise (LTSC), latest updates. Besides with the CE2 the rudder seems not working properly at all, only very jumpy and even pushed left or right it jumps back to neutral immediately. In controls/special simplify rudder on or off makes no difference. Just installed a Saitek Pedal system, same behavior. other post thread about this:

I keep saying this: Often USB problems exist due too many present non active redundant drivers. USE USBdeview!

well, cannot get rudder and elevator trim to work still, really beats me. With the CE2 the rudder seems not working properly at all, very jumpy and even pushed left or right it jumps back to neutral immediately. In Controls/special simplify rudder on or off makes no difference. Just installed a Saitek Pedal system, same behavior. (posted in bugs too)

Well, after a few tips from y'all, thanks BTW, and a lot of experimenting i can get the thing called Huey up in the air, and also even land it with my Warthog set. But i am stuck at setting the engine and moving controls right for flying forward (and backwards) at a decent speed. Any ideas? I set the Warthogs throttle axis to the above collective, and the Warthog slider to the throttle function.

That helped, got off the ground alright:

Hi; has any one has some tips what to set for controlling a Huey or other choppers for a Warthog set, , if you don't have a Collective hardware stick? I feel like riding this:

Now tried, NADA, autorudder on or off. Axis nor keyboard Does not work, and now i begin to think it has to do with my windows version and or keyboard vs axis; i have Win10 x64 LTSC (Enterprise). Some restrictions vs games. Like in the office gaming is not allowed LoL. Added: I installed DCS on a windows 11 pro sytem ... alas the same .. Some thinking out loud: where are the controller lua scripts stored normally? I use to save them in a separate folder besides my DCS installation, as they all have extensive editing done.. The game loads and save them there OK, but i also found SOME input related lua stuff (with no .dff in the extension so general?) in a user config folder on my boot drive, with a general name and ID number (some warthog related) named per plane and divided under sub folders names joystick, keyboard, mouse and trackir. Looked at them and it looks like they contain only SOME changes of my edited versions i saved elsewhere. Funny thing is that the helicopters i bought 2 years ago are not present there. They are active in the game. And then they appeared automatically after i started a default mission with the UH1H ...

I tried that, nada. Guess i need better hardware with more buttons than a Warthog set has to offer .. don't need trimming that often. Can it be that it's a general bug in DCS? Related to windows settings and keyboards?
