Mods maybe a thread for Arduino like 3D prints? My question, when you buy a Thrustmaster MFD, it knows each of the buttons. Is it possible to add something at the button so multiple buttons could run on the same loop? I have an idea but I don’t want 30 wires or circuit boards so it’s available to everyone.

I am of a similar opinion and no discredit to DCS, I feel that DCS update things so quickly every developer is in a fight, a fight that was not considered when pricing their part. I don’t want to spread ‘rumoured bar talk’ but everything is a complex beast to make this sim the best ever (well once we get dynamic campaigns it will be) and the reason I only fly here is its detail. But since the Hawk issue (although ISTR they tried their own way) my feelings were the constant improvement in the DCS engine made it hard for developers to meet the level DCS demands. Obviously I am talking out of my hoop but it’s definitely a complex machine to make it all great and fair.

I think its born from the thankless task of trying to release on a date at the minute every bug known is fixed only to find it isnt, then comes the pain.... Dont know about the company making this, maybe its their QA from other sims, maybe its ED, but I couldnt even get it within 2 months in September, asking is it planned for October or November or other.....got nothing except the usual site replies.....2 weeks. I often wonder if Trump is a DCS player as he uses "2 weeks" as much as the forums if you ask when and we were doing it years before! (Sorry for the politics, was meant light hearted not political)

What is the planned release date, within the reasonable, 2 weeks! I mean an expected one as everything is subject to change, October, November (2025)??

Thats how I look at games, go to the Cinema, I dont know what price it is across the globe but probably $20 here in Aus, for max 2 hours. Plus you only get to see it once and you dont get your money back if it is absolutely trash. Although I dont use Steam for DCS, I do refund mis-sold garbage elsewhere. Dont think I have once regretted a DCS Module, I may not use them but thats my issue, possibly done less than 10 hours in the Mirage for example, but dont regret buying it.

Has anyone come up with a better mount for the Track_IR sensor? I really dont like the magnet and 3 little feet but cant think of something better!

Is anyone planning on a C-130J cockpit? I assume (rightly or wrongly) the DCS version compared to others with its military use in game (sooner or later - thinking dynamic campaign) and in my opinion a more accurate sim than any others despite their huge backing, a lot of people will move over from Civ sims where you can see in the Home Cockpits full 747/A-300 types are built. I cannot wait to see the community here grow and some of the outstanding advancements of big desktops! Thoughts?

Looks like new "hotas" type controllers will be on the purchase list, sure the old Thrusmaster Warthog will be fine for a while but if I get into this like I want to, I may be spending some $$$

Been out of loop on Afghanistan and bought the whole map on launch day, is it complete now? ISTR it was sold in 3 or 4 sections but I bought the whole, thinking this could be the largest map which I aim to use to get back into DCS after a hiatus with the C-130J.

Fair enough, i don’t think you are wrong, i was more on about learning to program every weapon on the F-16 (for example) or landing an F-18 in proper carrier patterns on top of weapons and navigation, now dont get me wrong, I wouldn’t change it or fly a dumbed down version, I might pick up those jets again if the dynamic campaign works well but I can’t fly often enough to join a server and be proficient so it’s SP only for me.

I am the same, I am getting a bit overrun with all the complexities of the jets, take my hat off to the pilots but to be honest they dont spend 8 hours a day writing contracts then try and learn to fly in their spare time. I actually wanted a module like this in DCS because I dont like MSFS, it never seems right. The DCS World always feels authentic and whilst I dont doubt this will be a complex beast looking at the cockpits, MFDs and those Data Input panels the A-10 has (sorry forgot the name MCDU??) I like the idea of learning to fly a Herc, my mate was a Loady on the C-130 and he always used to say "low and slow is the only way to go" spending 6 hours plus transiting from the UK to Cyprus or wherever I didnt agree with him!

Perfect, nice work!

Hasnt this been asked and told repeatedly its a Steam issue, they dont do pre-order?

Your garage looks high enough, the door is the problem! Sounds like a good idea to have the roof removed, wouldn’t want all the avionics outside when finished. is the plan to enclose it then? Did the sim originally have a roof and walls, windows??

Wow what a difference, looks good! why are the frames different around where the door would be (one tube one bar, egress assistance?
