Hello flyers. I roll with just a 360 controller but managing a throttle with it isn't very pleasing and after this many landings at incorrect speeds I am in great arrears on account of all the burning wrecks littering the airfield. So, I wanted to drive throttle with one or two sliders (I'm lounging inside an A-10 usually) or perhaps a rocker pedal. After looking at what DCS-BIOS affords I get the impression that what it relies on is focused on inputs for instrumentation and specifically does not include inputs for control surfaces or engine control. Is this correct? I took a different approach, that of making an Arduino microcontroller masquerade as an XInput device, which is well documented. Attaching a potentiometer, mapping voltage to a stick in C and mapping the stick to the throttle in World works nicely (apart from some axis wraparound that is surely fixable). Was this the most expedient approach or did I make this overly complicated? -
Hi all, I have an original TM Cougar for sale. It has been upgraded with an FSSB from vipergear and a throttle usb adaptor from realsimulation. Fully working with original box. Price: £400

Hi everyone, I wondered if someone can tell me where to buy a floor mount kit for my thrustmaster Hotas? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Hey all! I recently picked up a bunch of gear and quite a lot of it is stuff that's superfluous for my setup, so here's your chance to get some barely-used, essentially brand-new hardware without the backorder wait times, at a sweet discount. Virpil Stuff Virpil CM2 base with Alpha Constellation L grip, and a Z-extension. VPC ACE Collection Pedals The bundle price for these through Virpil USA would be $959.76 with shipping, and of course are all backordered for god knows how long. Monstertech mounts 2x black Monstertech stick/HOTAS chair mounts (form 2, for most gaming chairs) and one VPC CM2 base adapter AND 2x Monstertech swivel and quick release adapters for quickly stowing chair mounts. 2x black Monstertech mouse extensions for chair mount. One left, one right. 1x black Monstertech chair mount keyboard tray. (In the box to the right of frame in the picture) 2x black Monstertech VPC control panel mounts, 1 center and 1 side. (Pictured in box) 1x black Monstertech throttle add on with VPC throttle plate (Pictured in box) Quite a lot of misc extra mounting hardware, cleaning kits, etc. There are lots of end caps and such for making the ends of the extruded aluminum tracks look nice. The price for these through Monstertech would be ~$976.00 with shipping. Chair DXRacer King chair. Retails for $500. Total retail price: $2435.76 BONUS: I'll throw in a Logitech X56 HOTAS with monster tech mounting plates as well (not pictured), so you can have a fully functional setup right off the bat. Retail price: $250 for the HOTAS, plus the plates. Unlike the other components which are essentially brand-new, these have seen a few years of use but have been well cared-for. Your price: $1000. I've gotta get this stuff out of my cubicle at work now that I'm actually working in the office again, so we both win if you pick up this sweet pile of gear for a fraction of what it's worth. Pickup at my office in Emeryville, or willing to make reasonable accommodations to meet you somewhere safe and public. More / detail pictures on request.

Hello, all. I'm here to ask if anyone knows the control layout on stick and throttle for the F1CE. The Aerges manual doesn't show much, and I am looking to map out my controller as closely as possible. I have searched for this information; perhaps I have merely been in the wrong places. Once I get that information, I can map it out in DCS, myself; however, at this point...I look at the stick and throttle and aside from trim control, I cannot tell which button does what! Maybe someone else has already put out a thread for this? If so, can you redirect me to it? Much appreciated. SidDogg

RealSimulator Hardware Introducing the new FSSB-R3L MKII “ULTRA”. This force-sensing flight control system allows you to connect any of the Realsimulator or Thrustmaster grips, and it represents the same displacement and feeling of a real F-16 flight stick. It delivers the same amazing precision and smoothness, found in a real Viper. Based on its professional force sensor technology, it is in use with prestigious organizations like the US Navy test pilot school, Australian Royal Air Force test pilot school, French test pilot school, and others. Since the launch in 2006 of the R1 and R2 bases, which were the first force sensor bases available for the simulation game market, the development and manufacturing of these high-grade force flight controllers has evolved over the past 16 years. This new Realsimulator device has been tested by a beta group of real test pilots and simulation enthusiasts to tune the feel of the new FSSB R3 MKII “ULTRA”. They have confirmed that the new sensor base is smoother and more precise. We encourage you to check it out for yourselves on the Realsimulator website https://realsimulator.com Bye Phant

Solution: Avoid having buttons with an 'off' variant, it will bug out your controls Report: Bug: There is an issue where my buttons just completely lock, including my HOTAS and keyboard, the only thing I could do was pause the game. This allows me to rescan the devices, which made it work again. This only happens when I use a control on the HOTAS itself - nothing bad happens if I simply use my mouse and keyboard. This shouldn't be a lack of power issue, as this only happens when I use the F-14. Reproductability: Sometimes, it works just fine, but other times, it just does the bug. I'd say a 9/10 chance. Other people say they have no issues with their HOTAS, so I'm assuming it's just either a bug with the F-14 or an incompatibility with my HOTAS. Here are my specs if you are interested: Ryzen 9 5900x 2x Corsair Vengeance 32GB RAM (3600MHZ) RTX 4080 Thrustmaster Hotas X (plugged into motherboard) 750W Gigabyte power supply DCS installation on an SSD Note - I have even tried to remap the controls entirely for the F-14 to ensure there were no conflicts, but it keeps happening. The RIO settings seem fine, but it only happens when I'm the pilot. I am also on the latest openbeta branch - 2.8.2.3579 (at the time of writing). Thank you for your time. - Ell

From the back seat you should be able to scroll the mfd pages with the coolie hat switch forward/aft as stated in the manual. I testet this in single player, switched to the back seat and set up the mfd page programming as described in the tutorial mission. Scrolling with the buttons on the left and right handgrip is not working. It works only in the front seat.

The four screws holding the four poles (see picture) from below must be tightened to eliminate any wiggle of the poles before anything else is reassembled. (reusing old image, the washers in the pic are unrelated) To get at the four screws from below the base plate must be removed. This gets access to three of the four screws. Remove the two small screws holding the circuit board and gently push it aside to get at the fourth. One can not get any good grip on the poles to tighten them well, nor does one need to. Just screw them enough so there no is wiggling of the poles. Put the top part together. Tighten both screws of each pole at the same time with two screw drivers. If tightened from only one end the other end (especially bottom) may rotate. Reassembling the whole thing without eliminating the wiggle first will not work. Also, if tightening them first before assembling the top, you'll know the resistance you'll get is real and there's less risk of threading. ~ Figured this out yesterday. I had a small wiggle, reassembled and now have zero wiggle. I can now not move the joystick ever so slightly without also seeing the virtual stick move. Solved this problem for me. I didn't understand how I could have wiggle given how the joystick is designed. No matter mechanical wiggle the sensors always see movement (unless the poles can move). I had reassembled it incorrectly when I had this wiggle and I believe the poles were moving a little.
