Droning_On

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 ?

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

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.

Throttle Afterburner finger lift.

Some updates to the 3D designs….. now with plate covers for different aircraft……..and maybe a F-16 ICP

^ 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.

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….

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.

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

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

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

What a star thanks Sssmokey
