Hello - been a long time away from DCS but trying to return. I'm stuck assigning the thrust levers on my Mongoost-50 in the game (F16c). The lever has two parts. The one on the right adopts only an on and off status like a toggle - not an axis. The one on the left is split with a center detente (like pitch on a joystick, for example) but only gives me an input above the detente. So, right thrust lever is binary (on and off) and left only inputs above the detente and never below. I've spent hours trying to sort this and am getting super frustrated. Did update the firmware today after getting the gear out to set DCS back up again. Everything seems properly calibrated in the Virpil software. Any help?

Fixed my prob :-) Thanks all for the many posts ... helped to read through them.

My ILS is quite hard to fathom. If I enable it on the NMSP, the bars do not appear but if I turn it off on the NMSP the bars do appear (bars are enabled, not stowed and the ILS is powered on and tuned on the right console panel). Plus my ILS flat out will not work at Batumi.

Yep, sorry, was using Firefox 3.6.11 but it is fine in IE. All good now - ty.

Trying to pre-purchase AC-10 but the payment system won't allow me to proceed as it fails to offer options for payment method. See attached - no card options provided.

If I can interrupt the flow, funny as it is, I recall clearly when I decided I had to stop playing EVE (and did, forever). I was walking on a bush track near my place with my g/f and spotted a large rock up ahead. Immediately, my mind 'locked on' to the rock [asteroid] and started scanning for its mineral [ore] content. I swear, it was so real I freaked out a little and never played again. Up till then, I had been getting in about 30-40hrs a week for 6 months on top of work. And not much sleep as you can imagine.

Above the hud, are a bunch of buttons - one will illuminate to show that you have auto-hover engaged.

Same here - I orginally tried to fly the rubbish helos in ARMA2 and kept crashing but I jumped in one the other night after flying BS for a month and found it easy as pie (as it is probably supposed to be in a game like ARMA2). BS has taught me alot about helicopter flight dynamics ... and still so much to learn!!

Just a quick, newb question - with an escort mission like this, would the Ka-50s fly ahead, behind or alongside the Chinooks?

It's on page 11-10.

Looks like it should be available in a week in Aus ... here is one retailer that seems to think so: http://www.games101.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=5729

Wow ... comprehensive .. +1

And if you have a non-FFB stick, then definitely search for the post on turning FFB off in the producer.cfg file (I think). I had similar problems until I did this. Here (as posted earlier): You can turn it of in producer.cfg Change true after "ForceFeedbackEnabled" into false.

There are waaay more experienced pilots than me who would be better commenting. However, I can suggest that you fly with the FD off. I think that will help.
