Has anyone had an issue with a GVL224 controller where one of the axis inputs stopped working or has starting exhibiting a lot of "noise" (this is, excessive jumping up and down of the axis)? That is one of the problems I am now experiencing with mine - in addition to one lever not responding, now I have the throttle not responding correctly (i.e., lots of noise). This all started with an unrelated issue where I had to replace the USB connector. After disconnecting all of the axis cables (so I could remove the board and repair it) and then plugging them back in after fixing the USB connector, all of a sudden I now have the problem described above - an entirely non-working lever and another one where the response from the lever is all over the place. I am in contact with Vitaly (aka GVL224), and he's suggested that there might either be a problem with a contact on the board, a broken wire somewhere, or possibly dirt in one of the 3-pin connectors. Is there anything else that might be the case or is there anyone here who might have experienced a similar problem? I've looked closely at the wires, but nothing seems to be broken. Are these 3-pin connectors fragile enough that a wire might be broken inside one of them?

I built a new system today, and I came across a weird problem when I plugged in my VKB Mk.21 pedals - Windows 7 will boot up extremely slowly. I'm talking 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Once I unplugged the pedals, all was good. I ensured it wasn't any of my other USB devices, the ports on the motherboard, or the USB cable. Any particular reason why this would happen? :huh:

Kommandogerät is an installation for Fw 190s

I apologize if my post above wasn't clear: I wasn't trying to imply I have those Werknummer blocks, but rather that the source information Prien used to make statement about 20mm-armed K-4s is what's really needed. As Altflieger's post above shows, trying to compile certain information about late-model 109s can be problematic, and much of what is out there right now does focus instead on camouflage and markings. I had a look in my copy of JaPo's book on the K-4 (a great resource, BTW) to see if they had anything to say about the matter, but I couldn't find anything.

Original documentation showing WerkNummer blocks of K-4 aircraft fitted with the 20 mm cannon are even better.

You read that wrong. The production K-4 never, ever was fitted with a 20 mm nose cannon.

The K-4 was not fitted with a 20 mm nose cannon.

Correct. In this book here: http://www.amazon.com/In-Cockpit-Inside-History-Making-Aircraft/dp/0061684341/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410466289&sr=8-2&keywords=in+the+cockpit , the authors note the wooden frame is a mockup that was added after restoration.

You shouldn't have pledged towards the project if you felt that Ilya wasn't someone you could trust.

Amen. Getting two DCS-level aircraft and the map is a great deal. Getting 6 aircraft for 50 bucks was never going to happen.

May want to unsticky Luthier's posts here in light of this new information. ;) (Not to mention, there are far too many stickied threads in this particular subforum, IMO).

Rgr, thanks. :)

Second Gruppe of what JG? The first combat mission of the D-9 was at the very end of September 1944 by III./JG 54.

The thing is, this was his third chance. I just don't see him managing a project of this scope ever again.

Thanks! Yeah, yeah, I know. ;) I figured it was as simple as setting something on the PVI-800 to "reverse" mode, hence why I didn't find anything in the manual. One learns something new every day. :book:
