Update. I first ran EDTracker by itself assigning yaw, pitch, and roll within the DCS software. It worked very well and I saw no loss of tracking. The first experiment (that is after the stand alone test with EDTracker) failed. It seems when you use TrackIR software it overrides joystick input even with yaw, pitch, and roll disabled in the TrackIR software. However, the X, Y, and Z axis (functions that were left in the TrackIR software) were still working. I am going to attempt this again with FreeTrack software. This experiment will be carried out using EDTracker for yaw, pitch, and roll and using TrackIR Pro Clip for x, y, and z axis. For a camera I will be using the TrackIR 4 camera. Apparently you can somehow make DCS think the EDTracker is TrackIR by using FreeTrack. I am hoping this will allow me to use an EDTracker/TrackIR combo. I will have to figure out how to do this. I also need to figure out if it is possible to do this through TrackIR software.

I have always had problems with TrackIR losing tracking while looking down. I am going to attempt to mesh TrackIR (to maintain 6 degrees of freedom) and EDTracker and see how it works. I will post my findings tomorrow. Please note I am using the wireless version of EDTracker. If this works out I will upgrade my TrackIR Pro Clip to either a LukeClip, a UTC MK II, or TrackHat Clip Plus so I can be truly wireless (though now I power TrackIR from a battery hooked to my wireless headset it is a bit top heavy). I would appreciate any opinions you may have about the TrackIR Pro Clip alternatives I have mentioned. I am leaning toward the LukeClip at this time.

What you say about limiting it to Belsimtek aircraft makes logical sense however, I was REALLY hoping to see this on the Su25T. I knew that was unlikely but if you have never had a dream you have never had a dream come true :smilewink:

I have never seen that jet before. It's cool. It's no SR-71 though :) Then again, what is?

I think you guys are missing out on an important part of my post. What is it going to hurt to have the option?

Please allow a cheat for unlimited H20 so we can practice VTOL without limitation. :thumbup:

I have a suggestion. Somebody that is in the know should start making DCS module video tutorials and label them as such to make it SUPER easy for us to find them. DCS <airframe>: <type> Tutorial For instance: DCS Ka50: Navigation Tutorial DCS A-10C: Weapons Tutorial DCS AV-8B N/A: VTOL Tutorial I think if we start using a unified nomenclature we can start building a library and make these tutorials easy to find for everyone. If any of you have tutorials out already maybe you can rename them to the new format.

I have been trying to hover at 82 degrees. I will try 84 and see how it goes.

What do you mean by "in VTO configuration"? Are you referring to engine power and nozzle configuration only or is there an avionics component I am missing? I figured out the fuel/weight issue on my own and can take off (60 degrees nozzle at full engine power) but I find it extremely difficult to hover or land. I thought because I could fly a helicopter with precision it would be easy to adapt to the Harrier. I thought wrong.

Are you saying they are not going to make any DCS level aircraft that were featured in FCS (like DCS Su25T for instance) or are you saying they are not going to make any more simplified aircraft (like FC3 Ka50 for example)? I think either scenario would be a mistake. I love the Su25T for instance and would pay top dollar for a DCS version (though I wonder if there is a legal agreement for the FC3 version that is preventing this). I also think that having some simplified aircraft would broaden the online player base. Not everyone has the want or time to learn all of these complicated systems.

I am all about the Chinook.

DCS: AV-8B N/A VTOL and DCS: A-10C Warthog flying together. Pure awesomeness. By the way as far as your wishlist goes, put me down for OV-10D/D+ Bronco.

That looks so comical.

Put me down for a Chinook

I still want a DCS Su25T.

At this point I only have 2 questions. When? How much? Somebody mentioned a Warthog/Harrier rivalry. To that I say...... awesome.

So has anybody tried this?

COOL!!!!!

That did it thank you.

Now if we can get one of these in an Su-25T I will be all set.

Bought it.

Where? Where is the manual. I bought it and have yet to find a manual. In fact I can't find a manual for the Ka-50, Sabre, gazelle, Hawk..... anything. All the manuals used to be in a sub folder but now I can't find them anywhere besides the Mi8 and A10-C documentation on the DCS website......... Where do you find the manuals these days??????? Paste a link or instructions to find at least 2 on my list if you don't mind.

That just means the aircraft in the game will match its controls to wherever your HOTAS controls are set at. So if you have full collective the aircraft will spawn with full collective. If you are full forward with your physical cyclic so to will be the cyclic in the game.
