Thank You!

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by linking the update. How do you specify the updater to open the MT version and not the non MT version

Thank You, I think you answered it. I would like to have the lights of the plane diagram on the CP2 change color based on gear lever position and at the same time have the throttle led's change based on which of the 5 modes are selected. In that case I will need to install both throttle and CP2 as stand alone and not primary/slave. In standalone connection the LED's of the CP2 will not change in sync with the LED's of the throttle depending on mode state. I was confused because all examples of setting up the landing gear lights said that the throttle could not be configured in the 5 way mode. It would seem that the only benefit of connecting the CP2 in slave mode is that it saves one USB port. Fortunately I just upgraded my PC to a mid tower from a laptop and I now have enough USB ports on the motherboard that I don't need to use USB ports for any of my flight gear.

I have Virpil CM3 throttle, Control panel 2 and CM3 base/Alpha grip. I would like to configure my Control panel lights to reflect my landing gear position and perhaps master arm status etc but I would also like to configure the throttle to have 5 modes, such as take off/landing, ground attack, air to air mode etc. The tutorials I have seen on youtube all have control panel attached to throttle as slave and they all specify that you must not be in 5 way mode of throttle to be able to configure landing lights for gear position. If you attach Control panel as stand alone are you still limited to 6 Shift states over all Virpil devices in use or only 6 between throttle and control panel when attached in slave mode? As an aside- I am blown away with the power of the Virpil Configuration software ,BUT given that power I wish there were more detailed documentation provided by Virpil.

As it stands now, if you run DCS updater and there isn't an update the program loads the non multithread DCS. It would be nice if you had the option of specifying a dcs version to load if no update is found. Perhaps an Updater located in the MT Bin rather than just in the non MT Bin.

I'd be interested if I was in the UK. Can you comment on the cost of the replacement switches and what is involved in changing them? I recently started using a Virpil Constellation grip and am less than satisfied with the switches. To me, they are less precise than my 15+ yr old TMW switches.

If you find earwax is becoming an issue again you can try this- turn your head sideways, one ear up- pour about a capful of 3% hydrogen peroxide into the ear, keeping the ear up. Let it bubble for 2-3 minutes then turn head ear down with ear covered with towel repeat on opposite ear. The peroxide will soften the wax and the bubbling will loosen the wax rinsing it out. Probably should not try if the eardrum is perforated, otherwise it is safe and effective (unless the wax is too impacted).

Unfortunately neither site are still active.

Anyone know where you can still get USB CH joystick drivers for 32bit windows 98? I have Jane's Longbow and would like to run it on an old windows 98 computer. TIA, Jon

Thanks! I will give it a try.

I'm currently using a TM Warthog joystick as a cyclic. I'm wondering if a stick without such an extreme centering would be beneficial. It's a bit hard to make the micro adjustments needed for hovering, etc. Any recommendations? Virpil gunfighter? WinWing Orion 2? TIA, JonW

Question- I was having trouble boresighting. I finally was able to get it with the aid of the cockpit camera view controls. But I wonder- How does the accuracy compare if you do a boresighting from a cold start vs the accuracy if you start from a runway with the apache already started ( and presumably) it having been boresighted already?

If this is still available I will buy it. (Offer withdrawn no reply from seller in 2 months, I purchased new from Delta Sim Electronics)
