thanks but QNH is referancing sea level not airfield level. The ATC specificaly notes runway QFE at a Barometric Pressure level below what I can set on the F-16C Altimeter control knob?? Runway in Question was Nellis btw !! Just seemed strange

just flew mission 6 (maybe 7 cant remember now) on the red flag campain, and the ATC told me to set my QFE at 27.8, but the Viper would only go down to 28.1 ???? Am i doing something wrong ? cheers J

same here....i thought this was linked to the 'secondary shadows' menu item........ Edit: second shadows is to do with the Supercarrier and multiple light sources...... either way I still get that shimmer on the ICP

ahhh.... the Holy Grail... ED have talked that one up for as long as I can remember.

Im presuming IDM = Improved Data Modem.... is this modeled in DCS ? I honesly didnt realise the DL switch turns on IDM.... is the MAP switched utilised for anything. Found an interesting Austrialian defence artical that discusses what IDM actualy does... page 12 here

Not sure if your Single or online Multiplayer or if this is what your looking for, but I use DCS Liberation to automate conflicts/missions. It also has a MP option so your friends can join setting targets/escorts/SEAD/DEAD/CAP misions prior to mission start is as easy as changing a waypoint. GR Youtube Video on DCS Liberation over a year old but still relevent. and this one by HolyOrangeJuice !!

i believe in the block 50 the MIDS LVT knob does the data link. tbh i always knock all the AP switches to On even the DL switch……. force of habit as i used the official guide like yourself.

Chucks @Charly_Owl guide was updated in January 29th .... only 4 months out of date but my go too. ALL OF CHUCKS MANUALS

hi my button boxes randomly stop working and I need to press ESC/controls and 'rescan devices' to make them work again... any thoughts what could be causing this ? Thanks

im having some strange behaviour on the autopilot... ALT/ATT works fine but the STRG/HDG does nothing..... anybody else seeing this ?

cheapest route is DIY but will still cost you plenty money. A few guys have done 3D printed pits but you obvioulsy still have costs for the printer/ plastic / switches /controllers etc. check out these threads for insperation... JSelf Viper1970 or check out my sig for a basic desk pit

Wow looking good guys. The 3d Printing of letters has to be my fav part tbh. I get really good small txt prints with 3.5mm letter height. using 0.2mm layer height with 4 layers of white.

this was my attempt using Captzeen profiles

Probably have built some simple button boxes like the Virpil extension boxes lol ……. Tbh what I spent over the covid restrictions I could have probably bought a Warthog lol 3d printer appealed more and the basic t.flight aint all that bad if you have limited desk space….. due to the original design of the t.flight it landed itself great to this project. Other Hotas’s might have been more stand alone rather than and integrated deskpit. £60. T.flight Hotas4 £200. 3d printer (Technically a Christmas present, pre-covid so wasn’t really bought for this) £20. PLA plastic £30 switches £50 leobodar controllers. ——- £360 to date Probably need to spend another £150 on control cards and switches to get rhs button box and ICP working. And the rear screen is designed to house the thrustmaster cougar button so add another £90. then I need to sort out the hall sensors for the primary controls and the new boards to run them so add another £100 to the mix…… im sure someone said on here or other simpit forums once you start there is never an end …… damn they were correct forgot the iPad Pro 12.9 (running modified CaptZ profile) and the iPhone 12 Pro Max (for Touch portal) and the 3d modelling software subscription (Shapr3D) Feck it’s getting silly. Lmao. Oh well it’s been fun anyway

Mods to the Throttle base.

Damn Viper, your the King of 3D printed HOTAS's I was intending to build the Authentikit Spitfire Spade and trim wheels but youve given me the motivation to go finish my F-16C T-Flight mini deskpit Out of curiosity what control boards are you using ? im currently using a Micro-BBI in the throttle base for additional switches and a BBI-32 Button Box Interface ? im probably going to need 2 additional boards for the RHS button box and the ICP. so 5 USB devices !!! any thoughts on how I could streamline this. ?

does the FSR hack work on non VR game play ie a 1440p monitor, dont have VR and run a old GPU (rx570). If i could squeeze a few extra FPS out my card it would be great.

Guys n gals Im running an old RX570 and have been waiting patiently on the GPU prices dropping before I jump at a new card, My current setup is 1440p monitor (75Mhz) with Low/high settings with MSAA and all other visuals off. on average (and if I stay away from the Channel or Island maps) im getting 30 - 50 fps which is ok I suppose for a rx570. I might dable in VR at some point with an Oculus Quest 2 but for now I like the 1440p monitor I was considering a RTX3060ti however prices are still up at £650 in the UK and I refuse to pay that for a £400 rrp card. However the RX6600xt is now availavble at a reasonable price (£420) ? does anyone have any experience with this card in DCS... is it worth it or should I sit tight ? I appriciate there is lots of AMD v Nvidia posts here but all are on 3080, 3090 or 6800xt etc which is not in my price range..... so please dont flame

Watching this one with interest...... Im in the AMD 'Stream' just know and was considering going the other direction nice to have some choices for a change even if they are all over £1000

Slightly off topic, but i was wondering if these shaders would help users (ie ME) with older GPU''s that somewhat struggle on FPS to squeeze a little more performace out the game "non-VR?"

wow, fantastic work Viper....im now wondering if can mod my t.flight stick and throttle to work with these J

cheers Savvy, still lots of little issues that need sorted..... but getting there yes.. completly modular even the button boxes and centre mobile screen all seperate

Happens to me at end of every first mission run…….sitting tight for an update

Post liked just for being a fellow Weegie.

How natural is it to use the simspit in VR. Are you not “feeling’” for buttons ?
