Pilot commander. I understand that you normally wouldn't fly in this configuration, but it is supposed to be a sim. If you leave the door open it will probably rip off at 300 kph. Just like a canopy in a jet. Those don't automatically close over a certain speed that I have seen. You can manually control them and if conditions are right the canopy will rip off.

If you take off with the cockpit door open it automatically closes after you reach about 30 or 40 kph air speed. If you open the door during flight it automatically closes after a short time.

ITEM IS SOLD. PointCTRL for sale. Nearly brand new. Hooked up and used for one flight. Switched to a different hand tracking solution. Includes everything shown in the pictures. PointCTRL Version 1.0 Kit, USB Battery Charge Monitor, Auxiliary Triple Button Bank. Original cost with $216. I'm asking $180 shipped via FedEx 2 Day in the USA only. International will be additional shipping.

SOLD Max Flight Stick Huey 4.0 Cyclic and Collective for sale. I have made a couple modifications to it for better function, but these can be converted back if you want it in stock form with one exception. I have the original pieces. I received this unit in September 2020. I am asking $1100 900 plus actual shipping cost. I get pretty good FedEx rates through my business. I expect less than $70 shipping cost in the continental US. No idea what it would cost to send outside the US, but we can figure it out. The flight controls are connected to the black box with network cables. Then from that box one USB cable goes to your PC. Silver plates are something I added for mounting HOTAS setup to. Modification #1. I added this U Bolt on the Cyclic to eliminate some slop in the mechanism. Modification #2. There was a double tube setup here for the collective pivot. I removed the second tube and replaced with a flat plate. This reduced flex at the joint. Grey material is steel putty to secure the bolt head in place. I have the original parts to change this back if you want. This setup works much better than the original. It reduces the side play in the damper and reduces the slop when the collective is raised or lowered. Modification #3. Originally there was a solid bar across where the red lines are. I removed this to make it easier to slide my chair in and out. I have the piece I cut off, but it would need to be welded back together.

PG map, 2300, Al Maktoum Intl, no mods. Center line runway lights show through cockpit floor. Track attached. I also noticed this same sort of behavior in MP on the Syria Map when someone was letting off illumination flares I could see them through the side of the cockpit. I don't have a track for that one. PG Hind Runway Light Through Floor 2.trk

Bumping this back up in case anyone has another suggestion. I have repeatedly cleared environment data from DCS and rest my seated position in StemVr with no change.

I've had both. FOV is awesome on the Pimax, but the software sucks and it was so uncomfortable I couldn't wear it for more than 15-25 minutes at a time. It also got very hot in a short period of time. I've been using VR since the original Rift so I am aware of how to get them on my head correctly. I tried a counterweight and a couple other options on the Pimax and could never get it comfortable. Got rid of the Pimax and gave up on VR for a while. Then I got the G2 at the beginning of this year. It fits me perfectly and is comfortable for hours. The small sweet spot took some getting used to, but now it is natural to turn my head to what I want to look at. I recommend the G2 unless you can try on the Pimax before buying. Super comfortable and clarity is great. More FOV would be great, but that should be coming with the next gen.

For me the UHF Volume Up/Down keybinds and joystick inputs are flipped. Up makes volume go down and Down makes volume go up.

I had WMR settings on Best Visual Quality already and tried switching to Best Performance and back with no change. I reset seated position in SteamVR with no change, but the interesting thing is when I click reset seated position a countdown box comes up and is tilted the same as during the game. The surrounding VR backdrop is level, but the countdown box is tilted. I re-ran the SteamVR room/seated setup multiple times and that hasn't solved it. The countdown box and view in DCS is tilted. I will continue to investigate other settings in SteamVR to see if there is something there that is causing this issue.

WMR has been removed and re-installed without change. I should have noted this was a problem before 2.7 so it has nothing to do with the update. I didn't know this was in SteamVR. I will investigate and try to reset it. Thanks for the suggestion. I believe I have this set to Best Performance so I will try changing that to Best Visual Quality and report back. Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, the seat is level and has been checked. WMR environment data has been cleared multiple times as indicated in the OP.

I have a Reverb G2 and when using it with DCS the horizon is tilted about 3 degrees down right. Not really noticeable in normal flight, but when using the HMD in it is very noticeable. The HMD appears tilted much more. I have removed and re-installed WMR. Re-set environmental data multiple times. I also talked to HP support and they replaced the headset with a new one because they couldn't figure out what is wrong. The new headset exhibits the exact same behavior with the horizon tilted. I tested in MFS2020 and it appears to be tilted as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Is there anything else with regard to SteamVR or DCS itself that might be causing the issue? I have done a repair on DCS also with no change.

Just wanted to point out Hempstick has a model of the throttle rail on Github under the Throttle Arm section. https://github.com/JonahTsai/F16/tree/master/ThrottleArm

Thanks for the info. I've been using Freejoy for a helicopter collective project I'm working on. If you decide to use Freejoy I'd be happy to help. I have a good setup for a shift register board and hall effect sensor for rotation.

This looks really good. Will you share the material specs you used for the printing from Shapeways?

When running SSA is there any way to not have three processes showing in the taskbar?

It didn't for me. Check the box to not overwrite the lua. Open the lua and remove the lines indicated above. I went from CPU frametime of 30ms + back down to single digits on Syria single player after turning it off in the settings and deleting the lines from the lua. Login to the app and click the gear icon. It is about half way down.

Ordered VKB Gunfighter from their sight on 9/5/2020. In my hands (FL, USA) on 9/11/2020. 2nd order on 10/13/2020 for an extra stick. Site said up to a couple week delay because they were working though backlog of being on vacation. In my hands on 10/19/2020. I went back and forth on VKB or Vripil before my first order. Couldn't be happier with VKB quality and the delivery time frame. I also bought the VKB pedals from x-plane.org and had them in a couple days, but they don't list them anymore.

Plus one to the altimeter bug. That really needs to get fixed.

The wire colors are correct in these pictures, but I believe the pinout is incorrect. At least this pinout is not the same as the F18 grip that I have. Just a FYI for anyone else trying to do this same thing. Use the pinout included with the MMJoy software.

As resolution to all of my problems I decided to buy another grip. After help here and more from the developer of FreeJoy on Discord I was confident that my wiring was correct, but the grip wasn't working. I ordered a new grip from Amazon that was delivered today. I plugged it in and everything works properly. All button presses were captured with no issues.

My grip is a brand new TM F-18 add on stick.

Got the same behavior with Pro Micro and Leonardo. Also same with FreeJoy. I thought maybe some kind of interference so I got a 2 meter USB cable and moved everything away from the computer. Same results.

I think I may have identified some kind of issue. When I have the shift register settings in the attached photo and nothing hooked up to the grip I get what is shown in the video. Buttons flashing on and off. I have tested this with multiple sets of wires. When wires are hooked up it all goes wonky. Is this normal?

The colors are the same in the two pictures, but the pinout is different. For the shift register to work in MMJoy are any settings other than Chip, Qty, CS, and Data?
