Recently purchased Operation Pontus and Rising Squall and neither are showing up I’m my Module Manager. This has never happened in the past. I’m not on Steam. I’m stand alone. Thanks.

Unrestricted SATNAV. Works like a charm. Thank you!

Wow. My search savvy is lacking. Must have been my keywords as I was getting hits from 2018 stating problems after a DCS update, waypoint 1 was 100+ knots away and no HSI movement, so I disregarded them. This looks promising. Can’t wait to try tomorrow. Thanks!
-
I've tried this 6 times. Cold start as I always do on other missions. Only once out of the 6 attempts have I had a moving map on the HSI. Not sure what I did any different on the one attempt that I had a moving map, but it gives me hope that it's fixable. I've tried INS in NAV and IFA. No luck. Any suggestions?

So happy I found this post. Was pounding my head against the wall trying to figure out why a weapon that was so simple to deploy previously was stumping me suddenly. Watched hours of different YouTube tutorials and was was following everything as shown. There was nothing new to me in any of the 65E tutorials. Had no idea the TDC sensor diamond became part of the uncaging procedure. I’m a bit surprised I didn’t solve it myself. THANKS GUYS!!!

Thanks. Yeah 15 cm. I should know better as we use metric here in Canada. The Foxx mount I got for the stick is the really long/deep one, so I should have great adjustment capabilities. Thankfully I shouldn’t need to order the shorter extension. Thanks for the spring advice. Perhaps I will just keep using the stock one and if it gets sloppy, I will then change out to the red spring.
-
Thank you Harker. Getting these AAR missions working and learning how to use other peoples missions on DCS have opened up a whole new world for me.

Ok I unboxed the extension. I was wrong on two counts. It’s not offset bend and it’s only 6” Anyway, It’s a 6” Sahaj with the red spring with a couple silicon o-rings. Pipe is threaded on each end so I’m at the mercy of the pipe threads to achieve the turn angle I want. If I get the angle I prefer and the threads are still loose, that will suck. I don’t really want to use loctite. Perhaps if I pile on some Teflon thread tape it will firm it up at my desired angle. Or perhaps I will get lucky and the threads will be tight at my desired angle. I will mess with it when my Foxx mounts arrive. Doing the extension now will suck when I’m flying because the stick is currently sitting on the desk. It will be awkwardly too high. Lol. Thanks everyone! EDIT: The video on Sabaj shows I can turn the stick to my desired position, then tighten. I feel dumb for wasting everyone’s time. Sorry.

Oooo. That’s a great point. Turning the base would be a huge screw up. I have an offset extension for my hornet stick that I have yet to unbox. Can’t recall if it’s 9” or 12”. Perhaps my solution will be in this extension. Thanks! Great advice. Not sure what I was thinking, turning the base. That would be disastrous. I have an extension I have yet to unbox. Hoping my solution is there. Thanks!

Hello My Foxx mounts are almost here. I have the Warthog/Hornet stick. I plan to mount it between my legs. I read on here that someone advised turning the stick slightly counter clockwise to simulate the true position in the hornet. Makes sense to me as my right arm will be on an angle reaching between my legs to the stick. Trouble is the mounting bolts will only allow 90 degree positions which obviously is waaaay to much. There are 8 small screws on top of the circular base. is that what he was talking about? Sorry, I can't find the original post for the life of me.

Thanks 667. Yeah, I really need to start learning to use more of these tools at my finger tips. Time for a bit of home work. I’m sure it’s not that hard. If so, there is lots of good info here to get me pointed in the right direction.
-
Thanks. I really need to step outside this little training box I’m utilizing on DCS.

Interesting! Trouble is that the only refueling mission on my DCS is the S-3. How can I find the KC135 or C-130?
-
Fair comment, but in real life is refueling 3x more difficult than night traps? I think we all know the answer.
-
Yeah I may place the mouse in that place. Like I was mentioning, I prefer not to take my hand off the stick every time I need to use the mouse. Don’t like to reach over with my left arm to the right side of my body to manipulate the mouse either. Too bad there is no such thing as the small gaming keyboard that also acts as a mouse. Then it could all reside to the left of my throttle.
-
Upon further research I see that it is likely not. I just hate the idea of having the mouse in an area where I need to remove my right hand hand from the stick or reach across awkwardly with my left arm. Perhaps I will put a mouse on the left side with the throttle mount and leave a keyboard on the desk.
-
Sorry for the Noobesque question, but while looking for TM HOTAS desk mounts I came across something that intrigued me Regarding the unit modelled on the mouse extension plate on my link. Is this a keyboard/mouse combo? If so, does anyone recognize the brand name? Or have further suggestions? That looks like something I could really benefit from if so. https://www.monstertech.de/en/product/mouse-extension-for-table-mount/

My engineering approach to a Hornet pit build project

Alex, I have a blank cheque with your name on it. -
I think I will just keep unplugging for now. But once I learn more I can see this being a helpful tool. I just have much more to learn before I unpack all of this. I’m not exactly computer savvy. But I have come a long way in the last little while. I will get there. And when I do, utilizing this will be awesome. Thanks again.

Thank you Monsieur Tee!

Not sure if it’s something I did in set up. I’ve checked on reddit etc. I’m hearing that if people just take off the headset when the are done it hibernates or something. But when I try this and come back to my pc and start DCS it automatically goes to oculus. I don’t always want to be in VR as I like to tinker with settings after learning things here on ED. When it defaults do oculus I can’t use my mouse etc in my PC screen. So I went to the oculus settings and disabled auto start or whatever it’s called. But it still kicks into VR every time I open DCS from my PC with the monitor. I’m sure I’m overlooking something simple, but I’m at a loss.

Great news on your landings. How are your circuits?

How to tie the mouse cursor to the Oculus Rift s helmet
g2k replied to Odin386's topic in New User Briefing Room
Thanks for the tips David. I will take your advice and search the proper forums as well. I might get lost in the weeds, but I will prevail. I might have found someone to buy my “like new“ Quest. And another person that has a brand new Rift S that’s arriving April 6, that he’s not opening. He wants to sell it (still packaged) and put the money towards a Valve index. Cheers.
