  1. 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. ?
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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?"
  6. wow, fantastic work Viper....im now wondering if can mod my t.flight stick and throttle to work with these J
  7. 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
  8. Happens to me at end of every first mission run…….sitting tight for an update
  9. Post liked just for being a fellow Weegie.
  10. How natural is it to use the simspit in VR. Are you not “feeling’” for buttons ?
  11. Im upto date on windows updates….. just frustrating. im a few bios u[dates out but these seem to be support for 5th gen ryzen…. I’ll maybe give them a bash
  12. Well im still getting the issues. When i alt-tab to a pdf and alt-tab back the hotas or a button box stops working. I need to alt-tab back to the desktop and click the DCS tray icon to get them all working…. My setup is a B450 Aorus MB so maybe this has the same issues.
  13. Some updates to the 3D designs….. now with plate covers for different aircraft……..and maybe a F-16 ICP
  14. ^ as Nighteyes says. This is my trick too. Set the brake very low, modulate rpm up and down from idle to1800 max and use the rudder twist/axis If I can taxi with a T.Flight one hotas and no rudder pedals (albeit slowly) then anyone can.
  15. that was me the other night on multiplayer server lol. Ditched in the sea 2miles of the isle of white as a P-51 Buzzed me lol. Bugger … Dont think that worked for me, i couldnt keep altitude at 1800rpm and low boost….. need to try again….
  16. Ok. I hear what u said about saturation on the rudder. But i have it at 45 and i can taxi ok….. little bit of brake and she moves about slowwwwww on the ground but at least im not going around in circles lol. got her flying great. Thanks everyone for your help. …… just wish i could take off as majestically as the spit is supposed to be ……….. spit flew past me on storms of war. Wing waging and i was going up and down like a demented kangaroo…….. funny/embarrassing lol edit: just watched Skill from GR on youtube taxi a Spit with an Authentikit spade……. I concede @Reflected, I need more rudder authority.
  17. Was one of my homebrew versions….based on captZeen f-16…. I dont use this profile anymore but i’ll see if i have a backup somewhere. Edit: think its still hosted on the onedrive link noted above
  18. thanks i think its my hotas to be honest I’ll have a play with the saturation on the pitch. I think my biggest issue is rudder input. Using the throttle paddles isnt great and need to have the saturation 50% or lower so im not yawing all over the place.even then it’s crazy. I fly an RC spit and the rudder input on that is very little but my rates (bit like saturation) are really low for scale. Your hotas is still bettr than mine. Lol i have a heavy modified t.flight one . I’ll have another go before i start 3d printing an athentikit flight yoke Website link
  19. Reading this thread with interest, also tried @philstyle curves, but i just cant dial in the sweetspot between docile and full movement for combat. i really love the spit and the ww2 scene but because is so difficult to handle (especially without rudder pedals) i just dont fly it…. @thrustvector would you care to share your final curves and are you using an extension piece for a central stick or just a side stick? im just runnin a cheap thrustmaster hotas so it could be a resolution thing on el cheapo stick
  20. What a star thanks Sssmokey
  21. Guys, i've have a look through 100's of posts and cant find anthing specific to my problem hopefully someone has some answers. I have a Thrustmaster t.flight and 2 Leobodnar BBI-64 button boxes so not a HUGE amount of usb devices but the issue I have is that while in game some of these devices lock up (really random) or disconnect from DCS. When I alt-tab out to check the devices they are all still working, but I need to alt-tab out then back to DCS to get them working normal. anyone have any thoughts what could be causing this. ?? the devices are pluged directly into the PC not a usb HUB. Flightstick is in a USB3 port at back of PC and button boxes are via the mothers boards USB2 header to front USB's. other USB devices plugged in include keyboard & PS3Cam for Opentrack. Earphones and mouse are Bluetooth. ??
  22. Thanks…. Going to have a play with Vis Range and SSLR. Not all that fussed with heat blur but like too see some grass when i taxi to runway. Preload radius is an unknown, im running SSD’s so may whack that up to max
