Can you share an editable version? Love the format but just want to make some small tweaks.

I went ahead and ordered a single 1” layer of their soft foam, and I’m pretty impressed. Definitely a better material than that used in the many cushions I’ve bought on Amazon over the years. I may be able to use this alone on top of my Jetseat and be comfortable enough. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice work there! I see you use a Jetseat on top of a Playseat just like i do. Do you find it comfortable enough without any other pads? I have the older black-and-orange version of the Jetseat that maybe had less padding than the newer one you have. I too came up with an extender for the center mounted stick so that it could project over the end of the seat, but yours definitely looks more rugged. I then just cut a section out of both the Jetseat and the two pads I have on top of it for the stick to fit.

I’ve been wondering same lately, as I continue to try to get my Jetseat-on-top-of-Playseat to be tolerable for more than short periods. For the seat part I currently have a layer of thick yoga pad between the two, and then two of these pads on top of the Jetseat: 4 Pack Memory Foam Honeycomb Nonslip Back 16" x16" Chair/Seat Cushion Pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A8NX5J6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UrPsFbNHF8Y1H Then for the seat back, I again have thick yoga mat between the two and a small additional section of mat on top of the Jetseat, right along my spine. As a whole it’s ok for now but definitely could use some improvement. I’ve yet to find a way to completely mask the fairly uncomfortable Jetseat motors that constantly seem to be poking into either my upper thighs or back.

In case you hadn’t figured it out yet: on the main TrackIR screen in the upper left corner are sliders for speed and smoothing.

I’ve been using the Asus ROG Strix XG438Q since February. In the past I’ve used 58”, 55” and 50” 4K monitors but for my cockpit setup, with the approximately 3 ft that I sit away from the monitor, I’m finding that 43” feels the most natural and comfortable. I went for this G-Sync-compatible monitor because even with my 2080 Ti, I wasn’t sure I’d always be able to maintain 60 FPS and thus didn’t want to rely on traditional V-Sync to get rid of tearing. Whether that feature alone is worth the extra price is likely highly dependent upon the buyer; for me it was. I will say, though, that it seems to lack the brightness / vibrancy that you’d get in say an OLED. Again for me this is currently a tolerable tradeoff though.

Same problem on OB version, at least for the AA gun and SW training missions—there are no targets.

EDIT: SOLD Bought new last year for $1300. This is a 49", ultra-widescreen 32:9 QLED monitor that runs at 5120x1440 resolution. Perfect condition with no problems, and I have the original box with all included accessories. Price is $950 which includes free shipping within the US. New ones go for $1200 minimum online. - 120 Hz refresh rate - 1800R curvature - DisplayHDR 1000 with a peak luminance of 1000 cd/m2 - AMD FreeSync II (and Nvidia G-Sync Compatible) - 2 x DisplayPort 1.4 - 1 x HDMI 2.0 - 2 x USB Type-A (USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 1) Output - 2 x USB Type-A (USB 2.0) - 1 x 3.5 mm Output

I bought one back in 2016 and still use it, absolutely love it. I wanted to buy another one a few months ago so I wrote to the guy who makes these, but unfortunately at that time he said he didn’t have any plans to make any more. I would guess that’s probably still the case.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Dropped price, still available!

EDIT: SOLD I bought these new in December but have now decided to go with a VKB setup instead. I have the original boxes and all included pieces, as shown. I even bought a compact base plate as the larger plate didn't fit my pit setup at the time. The VirPil store seems to be out of stock on both the base and the grip, but is priced there at 330 Euro + ~ 51 Euro to ship to the US = $412. I'm selling mine for $375 even, which includes shipping (US only please) and the compact base plate, so I think it's a pretty good deal for anyone itching to try out a VirPil setup.

Looking for Warthog Stick Base. [Deleted]

EDIT: SOLD The MFD pack no longer has the heavy metal bases -- I only have the MFDs themselves as shown in the picture. Online they go for $70+ new -- I'm selling for $40, which includes shipping. The X-Keys 58-key programmable keypad is made by P.I. Engineering and uses a program called MacroWorks to program the macros you want to assign to it. Makes an ideal UFC; I've been using it for DCS controls as shown in the picture. Goes for $120+ online -- I'm selling for $70, which includes shipping. I'll sell all three for $100 if anyone is interested. US only please.

Have you looked at the changes needed to make DDI fonts thinner and then looked for similar lines in the various HUD lua files?

I struggled with the same issue for quite a while. For now I've settled on using some cushions on my seat back (with a cover to keep them all in place) of my Playseat chair, to push me forward in the seat, and then the seat slides forward right up against the stick. My legs probably overhang the chair more than I'd ideally like, but at least I can comfortably reach everything. Having a cutout around the stick wouldn't quite work with my setup because I also use a Jetseat (the orange and black pad visible on the seat) and I definitely don't want to cut into that.

I did fly a bit last night and loved it. I was confused, though, about why I kept getting those messages—I thought I exited the airspace and headed directly to Sukhumi to land. Is it possible the lead was flying the same course without me even realizing it? I pretty much just exited and RTBed without paying any more attention to what the lead was doing.

Happy to hear you’re planning to run the jets more often because, although I own nearly all DCS aircraft, I’ve been really wanting to try your server with the F-18 but I keep missing the jets nights!

For those who haven't otherwise come across it, AlaskanGrizzly's excellent KneeboardBuilder allows you to specify your kneeboard's size and position, provided you create a new kneeboard group for your aircraft of choice. The only downside to this method is that you'll miss out on custom kneeboards that mission makers package within their miz files; but of course you could simply extract them and add them to the kneeboard group you created above.

I guess i should’ve mentioned that at 1440 and 4K, which I presume most DCS users are running, it’s likely GPU-limited. At 1080 though, I could see CPU being more relevant.

For DCS though, what’s the point? On most reasonably modern systems DCS is heavily GPU-limited.

Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney - P-51D Campaign info I'm having the same issue, and I just confirmed that I have wake turbulence turned off. I can maintain 40-60 at 4K; when I encounter the bombers in Mission 3, it drops a bit, but not terribly. But as soon as the bombers drop their bombs, my FPS plummets to 7-10. After that it never recovers. I should note I haven’t tried the ‘limit AI’ option yet and that I’m on 2.5.6.

Results of GTX 1080 Ti to RTX 2080 Ti upgrade ...unless that 25-30% gets you up and over the 60 FPS mark, thereby allowing use of V-sync to smooth out performance—which was my goal from the beginning. In my opinion that’s what makes this particular upgrade ‘worth it’ for me.
