Куплю сетап комплект или частями, для освоения и прогрессирования в пилотировании вертолетов. Лучше VirPil, Winwing или VKB.

Hi. I have a Buttkicker ( and the HaptiConnect software ) and a WinWing HOTAS ( and their SimAppPro software ). When I fly using only one of these two vibration devices, the vibrations are working perfectly. However, when trying to have them both in the Export.lua script, the Buttkicker vibrations are weird, kind of being turned on and off really quickly, jaggeded. The full lua script is linked. What can I do to have both vibration systems work fine ? local wwtlfs=require('lfs') dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua') local ButtKickerLfs=require('lfs'); dofile(ButtKickerLfs.writedir()..'Scripts/ButtKicker_Export.lua') pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs'); dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil) Just in case, I've added all the script BK and WW have added.

This is a solution to a problem I was having with my Winwing MFCD's but it applies to all multi-display setups, thought it may be useful for anyone else having similar problems: The issue was Windows sometimes displayed the main game window or other app windows on one of my small usb displays which I use in DCS for MFCD's. The was a pain as it was difficult to get the window out of the display without unplugging it. 1. Microsoft has a small console utility called "PnPUtil" It's already installed on windows (10 and 11). The utility basically allows you to select devices and enable and disable them on the console by using the device id or instance id, the same as you would using the device manager UI, and a whole lot more. 2. Simply create a batch file to enable and disable the unwanted displays when you are not using DCS. You can then either create another batch file to enable them or just use that in a custom DCS start bat, simples, solves all my problems. Note that the batch file needs to run as admin or it won't work, simply create a shortcut for it and select run as admin in the properties. You can also use a similar script for disabling any device for driver updates, particularly useful for WinWing device updates. Full info on the util syntax can be found here PnPUtil Examples - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn Example, you need to enter the ID of your display as found in the device manager obviously: Disables displays Echo yadyayada pnputil /disable-device "USB\VID_045E&PID_00DB\6&870CE29&0&1" pnputil /disable-device "USB\VID_045E&PID_00DB\6&870CE29&0&2" pnputil /disable-device "USB\VID_045E&PID_00DB\6&870CE29&0&3" Exit Enables displays Echo yadyayada pnputil /enable-device "USB\VID_045E&PID_00DB\6&870CE29&0&1" pnputil /enable-device "USB\VID_045E&PID_00DB\6&870CE29&0&2" pnputil /enable-device "USB\VID_045E&PID_00DB\6&870CE29&0&3" Exit

If anyone in here has figured it out, I'd like to know how it worked. To get support for this, I want to also include @WINWING and @WinwingTech I'm using the winwing Top Gun MIP, and there is no going back. I've even gone as far as to start building a sim cockpit to really do it justice. So, while I'm getting used to not needing the virtual cockpit for reference much anymore, I'd like to know if anyone has yet found any way to make the UFC display work when you're in the HUD only (L alt + F1) view? The screens work great in this view for me. It really was plug and play. But the UFC stops updating the display when in this view. Is there an entry into the LUA file that can make this work correctly? Is it as simple as that? It only took the addition of 2 lines in the script to fix the problem of desync after crashing. Everything else seems to work as advertised, and it seems like something just as simple was missed to make this work correctly. For folks building sim cockpits, it's essential that the UFC sync up properly. The inputs still work, so the buttons still control their selected function, but it doesn't display what the current function being selected is. Am I explaining this correctly? Again, this is only in the (L alt + F1) HID only view. When the virtual cockpit is being used, all works as it should.

This will take a while to explain. The TL;DR is that the WinWing PCR's are being automatically bound to the F18 Radar knob, when SimAppPro (SAP) is running in the background DESPITE THERE BEING NO - REPEAT NO - BINDINGS IN DCS!?!?! So I was having a nightmare flying the F18 in DCS (no mods) because the radar knob was spazzing out and going crazy, switching itself off/on/stby/emerg rapidly all the time. It didn't seem to be any particular input - I was just flying not using any buttons or anything. Over the course of 4 days, I ended up obliterating my DCS install folder and SAVED GAMES/DCS folders. I downloaded and reinstalled ALL of DCS (the new unified version - I was previously using open beta so yet another way settings could not have carried over) and all of the modules (took a day). Then I went into the controls on my virgin DCS install and CLEARED ALL - even the keyboard bindings. Literally ZERO bindings for anything on any aircraft. Then I connected my WinWing controls and ran SAP and loaded into an F18 ready on the ramp. And the knob was flicking around on it's own. To repeat ZERO BINDINGS IN DCS. So I went into SAP to see if the panels had any KEY BINDINGS set (you know the profiles people can make and download) and they didn't. It seems that when you have a PCR connected, buttons 16-20 turn the F18 Radar knob without any bindings. If like me you have two PCR's then when you turn one, it moves the F18 knob (despite NO BINDINGS) and then when the controls are polled again it sees a conflict - as both PCR's controlling the F18 radar know are now out of sync and it goes crazy between the two of them. Even if I unplug one from the USB hub and just have one PCR connected, still, with SAP running in the background, regardless of what I've bound the Radar knob on the panel to (e.g. wing fold) it STILL operates the F18 radar knob at the same time, and the knob still spazzes out during flight so that I can't keep the radar on. HOWEVER, if I close SAP before starting DCS, then I don't get the crazy knob, and the new bindings on the panel knob work correctly and don't try and control the F18 radar knob. But this means I lose my MFD's and UFC/ICP's. ***** I've re-downloaded and flashed the two PCR's. I've reset them to defaults. I've triple checked there are no KEY BINDINGS in SAP for either panel. Can anyone think of anything I haven't tried?

Hi all, I would appreciate it if someone could help. I am using the default mode, and I have tested the vibration feature, which has been working in the test page of Grip since day 1. However, I don't understand why I can't use it in Viper in DCS! and Yes, I read the maual https://winwingsim.com/static/assets/files/en/SIMAPP Pro 1.9.11-User Manual EN V1.2.pdf here is the content of Export.lua in C:\Users\<MyUser>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts local wwtlfs=require('lfs') dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua') -- Data export script for DCS, version 1.2. -- Copyright (C) 2006-2014, Eagle Dynamics. -- See http://www.lua.org for Lua script system info -- We recommend to use the LuaSocket addon (http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/luasocket) -- to use standard network protocols in Lua scripts. -- LuaSocket 2.0 files (*.dll and *.lua) are supplied in the Scripts/LuaSocket folder -- and in the installation folder of the DCS. -- Expand the functionality of following functions for your external application needs. -- Look into Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log for this script errors, please. local TheWayLfs=require('lfs'); dofile(TheWayLfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TheWay.lua') local DCSDTClfs=require('lfs'); dofile(DCSDTClfs.writedir()..'Scripts/DCSDTC.lua') -- local vaicomlfs = require('lfs'); dofile(vaicomlfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\VAICOMPRO\VAICOMPRO.export.lua]]); -- pcall(function() local pw=require('lfs'); dofile(pw.writedir()..[[Scripts\pw-dev_script\ExportInit.lua]]); end,nil); log.write("Eport.lua",log.INFO,"All Exported.") pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil) local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') the attached in the screenshot of WinWing SimApp pro, updated to the latest patch. the "Systm Status Indicator" lights is On and Green dcs.log

Hello, I'm new and I'm looking for help in setting up the buttons for my winwing orion 2 f 18 throttle and my orion2 f16 stick. If someone has the time and can help me that would be great.

I got my WinWing Orion 2 yesterday and this ist what I experienced. The Engine OFF button is not working properly. It only works if you push the throttle with a force to the last bit of the end. I think the sounds of moving the throttle with the new fingerlift design speaks for its self. The force to overcome the afterburner is differently on the left and right throttle. You need double the force on the left throttle to overcome the AB detend. The fingerlifts are made of plastic and they feel really cheap. In addition they are way to low. You need to change your grip to grab them, what makes them unusable for AB detend. If you increase the friction you are not able to move the throttle freely in one smooth motion. This makes it impossible to make small corrections. So you are forced to use low friction which makes the heavy FA18 throttle fall down and not staying in position.

as per title i have no idea how to make the Vibrator work in DCS

Greeting Pilots! Hope you are all doing well! Today the WINWING Orion2 F-16EX Viper Throttle Combo I have ordered has arrived. Assembly and test is planned for today as well. Will have some more pictures and a video about my findings up soon. So far the build quality suits my expectations. I am quite exited about this new controller for my simpit!

Dear friends of the DCS and sim community. In my Blog (El vuelo de la Gran Avutarda) I had the pleasure to interview Alex Li, who is the product manager and founder of WINWING. Chengdu WinWing Tech Co., LTD established in March 2013, specialized in research,development, production and sale of Flight simulation training devices and provides efficient customer service around the globe. “翼胜”originated from English “ WinWing”, “Win” means win-win, and “WinWing” means “the Wings of victory”. https://en.winwing.cn/en/about?language=en Alex is a busy man, but he was very kind and provided answers to my questions, including any future product plans of WINWING. Here is the interview: Question: Can you tell us a little about you and the company? Alex: I don't have a particularly unique background personally. I studied mathematics and have been involved in the computer manufacturing industry for 5 years, followed by 12 years in the simulator industry. As a result, I'm not inclined to be in the public eye. Our company has been established for 10 years now, and we boast a professional team dedicated to simulator development. In our B2B business, we specialize in creating FAA FAR PART60 LEVEL5 certified flight training devices and a range of other simulators. The consumer entertainment market is just a small fraction of our overall business diversification. Q: How was created or what was your first idea? A: I have actually visited Germany myself, where you will find numerous modest yet remarkably impressive companies that have stood the test of time across generations. As the first generation at WINWING, my aspiration is to emulate their enduring success story. Nonetheless, we must confront the inevitable reality that AI may ultimately supersede human pilots one day—an advancement that could potentially render simulator technology as a sunset industry. Q: In addition, what about the people at WINWING? A: They are a team of professional electronic, software, and hardware engineers, with the majority having served the company for over 5 years. We have assembled an exceptionally skilled production team, many of whom come from renowned manufacturing giants like Foxconn and Jabil. Q: What was the first product launched and how has the process? A: When it comes to serving enterprise-level clients' needs, our well-established flight training device product line encompasses renowned aircraft modules like Cessna, Diamond, Cirrus Aviation Inc., alongside others in the realm of general aviation. The development journey spanned over five arduous years as we relentlessly pursued perfection. Now shifting gears to cater to the broader audience seeking immersive entertainment experiences - undoubtedly - our inaugural offerings take form as Super Taurus and Orion. I vividly recall a conversation with one of my corporate client agents who said: 'Alex! The CPU technology powering the realm of flight simulation becomes woefully outdated within a mere three-year span! Yet here we find ourselves surrounded by game peripheral counterparts that stubbornly cling to relics from a decade past. Is there nothing we can do?' And so began the genesis of our pioneering duo: Super Taurus and Orion—our response to this clarion call for change. While these initial offerings may not lay claim to perfection, they embody our unwavering commitment to 'stay hungry, stay foolish.' We embark on an unending journey towards refining our product line while fervently endeavoring to provide enhanced flight simulation gaming peripherals with every passing year. In my view, any consumer electronic product languishing without upgrades for a decade bears the stain of ignominy. Q: Did you research the sim market or ask enthusiast to start with your first product? A: Undoubtedly, we undertake meticulous data research on an individual basis. Yet being at the helm as manufacturers of certified flight training devices bestows upon us a unique comprehension—deeper than that held by conventional gaming hardware entities—of pilots' genuine requirements. In my view, incorporating feedback from community influencers and seasoned flight simulation players stands as an integral component. In retrospection, our inaugural offerings—Super Taurus and Orion—bear certain blemishes owing primarily to limited exposure among hardcore gamers coupled with suboptimal emphasis placed on refining the user interaction layer. Q: There are some other manufacturers, what in your opinion differentiates WINWING from others? A: We hold a strong respect for our competitors. However, if WINWING were to introduce a new product such as rudder pedals, for instance, other brands should consider discontinuing the development and production of similar products. When it comes to functionality, materials used, and performance, WINWING's offering would undoubtedly be priced at 1/2 or 2/3 compared to others in the market. At an equivalent price point, WINWING's products would surpass its competitors by two orders of magnitude in terms of performance and material quality. And our R&D team has the capacity to design 3-5 fully certified cockpit solutions each year. I have immense confidence in our competitive edge. Q: WINWING has a good reputation when talking about quality materials and design, How was achieved this high level? Talk us a little about the design of the products and the manufacturing processes. A: Incorporating superior materials and intricate design principles is, in our perspective, an intrinsic and indispensable prerequisite for turning ideas into reality. The methodology of design holds immense significance and necessitates absolute confidentiality. Manuel, you being an esteemed aviation authority, I surmise we share a common ground that bodes well for our discourse. Catering to B2B operations demands substantial investment of time in studying standards such as ICAO 9625 (International Civil Aviation Organization simulator standards), FAR Part 60 (Federal Aviation Administration simulator standards), CCAR Part 60 (Civil Aviation Administration of China simulator standards), along with numerous training syllabi and institutional benchmarks. As expounded within the tenets enshrined by ICAO 9625, the defining attributes of training apparatus are intrinsically shaped by the very subjects encompassed within their respective syllabi. Ergo, when contriving a revolutionary flight simulation peripheral, we embark upon an intellectual expedition guided by a cogent framework: Which stage of flight instruction shall it cater to? What precise pedagogical objectives must it realize? To fulfill these objectives optimally, what caliber device performance does the aviator (user) demand? To attain this level of performance par excellence, which materials, sensors, processors ought to be judiciously employed? I firmly believe that every user who acquires a WINWING flight simulation peripheral would exclaim: "Fantastic! Why is it that WINWING's products consistently meet my subject-specific training needs?" I vividly recollect the joy experienced by a flight simulation enthusiast with only several dozen hours under his belt while executing aerial refueling maneuvers using Super Taurus throttle. The excellence exhibited by WINWING's products extends beyond material quality; instead, they are rooted in practical usage scenarios for flight simulation users. These factors constitute our key to invincibility! Q: I recently tested the new F-15E grip and I have to say the vibration experience was awesome. Since tactile cues are essential for flying, many simmers would like to know if there are plans for force feedback implementation in older and new products. A: I can forthrightly affirm that research and development efforts towards more force feedback joysticks and grips are well underway. In truth, we have already achieved torque closed-loop force feedback capabilities within our certified flight training devices—a technological marvel surpassing any prevailing 'open-loop' counterparts saturating today's market. Our aim remains twofold: engineering an affordable solution accessible to most flight simulation enthusiasts while upholding uncompromising precision requisite for professional training scenarios. Currently available consumer-grade force feedback products and some ongoing demos suffer from issues such as excessive inertia, dead zones in the gearbox mechanism, and cogging effects (resulting in less smooth operation due to inherent magnetic pole switching of motors). While these products may offer features like responsiveness, vibration control, and dynamic forces, they simply cannot achieve precise manipulation. Moreover, they risk inducing erroneous muscle memory for pilots and lack practical applicability. Q: What about the pedals. The Skywalker pictures I saw are impressive. Tell us about the plans to produce high quality WINWING stile pedals. A: Much like I said before, with the advent of SKYWALKER's release, other competitors in the rudder pedals market should contemplate ceasing production altogether. Given its dimensions and weight characteristics, we aim to reduce purchasing costs for users by opting for sea freight shipment worldwide. This will require some time, but once all preparations are in place, it will be introduced to everyone. Q: Regarding the fantastic PTO/PCR panels, Are there any plans to upgrade them? A: We have taken into account the opinions of experienced players and community leaders, but we have not yet determined the precise application scenarios for the new PCR. However, we are on the verge of delivering other exciting surprises to modern fighter jet enthusiasts. Q: Is there any plan to produce a new version of the FA18 Taurus base? Perhaps with Force Feedback? A: Indeed, it is in our plans. However, we aspire for it to become a classic rather than a mere "trophy" or electronic waste. Q: Are there plans to produce the whole cockpit of a specific model? A: A whole complete cockpit requires localized services, which our over 10 years of B2B experience has taught us. Hence, we prefer to leave this opportunity to system integrators worldwide! Of course, if they are unwilling to seize this chance, I will personally step in! Q: Can you tell us what other products are in your mind for the future? A: I regretfully apologize for the lack of further information. However, as previously stated, WINWING is set to unveil a cornucopia of new products annually that will make all the collective offerings of our competitors pale in comparison. Q: Are there any software plans (changes, upgrades, new functionalities) for the fantastic App SimAPP Pro? A: We are actively seeking input from hardcore communities and users to consider redesigning SIMAPP PRO, aiming for a simpler and more user-friendly experience. Thank you very much to Alex for taking the time to answer my questions. We as enthusiast appreciate very much the high quality products created in your company for our passion: flight simulation.

Hi, I just received my winwing super taurus and super libra, and I found that if I use the radar elevation wheel on the throttle for the f16 it always recenters when I stop giving input with the wheel, is there any way to make it work without recentering? Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm in the middle of my simpit update.. just purchased VKB gunfighter III ( combat pro Grip). Now I’m looking to upgrade my throttle. So asking for feed back. Just as an FYI, upgrading from tmw. And mostly fly F-18 and the F-16. ( thinking of later flying the AV8) thank you

Purchased from original owner. 3 way switch (pictured) broke off. Winwing sent him a replacement switch. With a 2 month old, I simply don't have time to replace. $100 shipped to your door ( USA,Lower 48). These are retailing new for $250 new with $45 shipping. If you have the time, this is a steal. Please see my facebook posting for more pictures. Comes in original packaging (minus a cheap piece of 2 sided tape and manual (you can find the manual on WinWing's website. I am more partial to the Viper, so haven't gotten much use from it. I accept PayPal for protection of all parties. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/416206550121427/

hey guys just joined the forum! I was wondering on reviews for the winwing orion on youtube, they stated that you could use the z axis adapter for it but on winwings web site it says its not recommended. has anyone tried this? does it work or not fit?

Hi, This the first serious stick I'm buying (I have a crappy no-name one) and I can't decide between these two. I will be using it with a ~20cm extension in center position I did a little bit of research on the web and from what I understand: Winwing's cons: 1- Winwing (as it's F18 replica) lacks analog ministicks, which I think I would find useful for guiding certain weapons or as MFD cursor etc. and overall it has less switches compared to VKB. 2- Watching Youtube reviews of the Winwing, apparently there were a lot of issues with tolerances and switches' quality etc in early units which were promised to be fixed in production units, and I'm wondering if these issues were actually fixed? VKB's cons: 1- It's more expensive than Winwing, 550$ (ultimate Pro-L) vs 350$ (Winwing joystick base + grip + extension, as I will be getting a third party mount) 2- Even though the grip is made out of metal, the joint between the grip and the base seems to be made out of plastic with troublesome fasteners, and I've read people saying it does flex quite a bit at full deflection especially with heavy springs ... 3- From what I read it seems that the feeling around the center isn't as smooth and as good as Winwing's? I would appreciate your thoughts and personal experiences Thanks

TLDR: The preorder process is a queue and there are lots of folks in line ahead of you, but WW is catching up quickly on all the back orders (see some of the replies below). Average time from preorder to payment is about 4 weeks (as of 5-15-2022). Shipping varies after that, but the tracking info usually comes within a day of payment processing. All in all, now that I've got my gear, I can certainly say it's worth the wait! ----- Original Post ------ Just thought I'd weigh in on timing for the Orion 2 for those who have preordered as a FYI FWIW. I want to be clear I do not represent WW in any way, I'm just a regular customer like you. Also, this is neither a complaint nor a review, just information for other folks interested in pre-ordering the new Orion 2 Hotas. I'm overall happy with what WinWing is doing and don't want this to come across as grumpy. I assure you it's not. Just informational. I tried to order an Orion 1 Hotas twice, but couldn't get a purchase to go through because the WinWing site crashed every time they restocked and by the time it was back up they were all sold out. March 11, 2022: I was delighted when they introduced the pre-order system because that meant I could actually order an Orion. I preordered mine on March 11, 2022 at roughly 4:30 pm CET. I immediately received their standard email about waiting for the pre-order to be filled and watched my inbox for the payment request. Once received, I would be able to pay for the product and they would begin shipping. All posts indicated that shipping is usually pretty quick (~2 weeks), but each component ships separately, which is not ideal. March 11-April 3: Waiting...checking email religiously. Crickets. Usually they restock every two weeks, but no email for almost a month. April 4, 2022: WW posts their first "We have something new" teaser. I go, "huh." April 5-9, 2022: As more posts and more info come out, I realize they are updating the Orion, which explains the lack of email. I also worry about whether my order for an old Orion will be filled, or whether I could potentially upgrade it and what the price differential would be. April 10, 2022: Official WW announcement (cool video!). Also the message on their website clarifies my fate: As a previous preorder customer, I'm getting a free upgrade to the Orion 2! Thanks Winwing!! (Still no email though, I saw all this because I was continuously checking their website to make sure I wasn't missing anything and that my pre-order was still pending). April 14, 2022 (time of OP): Still no email and tbh I'm not holding my breath. With everything going on around the world, I don't expect this to come quickly. I'm hoping by the end of May, but it may be longer. I DO wonder though if the original shipping cost that was quoted to me with the preorder will change. If so, I'd like to know because WW requires payment of preorders within 48 hours of receiving their "order filled" email. If the shipping cost does change (probably goes up), I'll need to transfer more money to my Paypal account (the only payment platform WW accepts currently), which takes a few business days. April 18, 2022: Pre-order filled email and payment request received. I paid (using Paypal, shipping cost was the same as quoted when the order was created). Email includes full message about pre-order upgrade. No shipment info yet, I'll update again when it ships and when all parts are received. April 20, 2022: Shipping confirmation from WW. FedEx tracking # received, estimated delivery date 4/25 (but I'll be surprised if it's that quick). Shipping to US. April 26, 2022 All packages received. Shipped to US. 8 days after payment completed (would have been 7, but FedEx was...well, FedEx). Not bad! Happy customer so far. Time from preorder to receipt was 46 days. Feel free to post preorder and shipping times in this thread to compare notes. There's lots of helpful WW tips from fellow customers here too.

Hey,everyone.I installed the throttle.At this time, you must look at the parameters in the software:Set afterbumer ratio.This value is 75%, if you install it correctly, your card position will be correct in DCS.It took me three hours to install and adjust, and honestly I'm running out of patience because the side panels have to be in the right position.If you have installed,MIL-AB is 75%, congratulations, you can enjoy flying to the fullest. My other device is FSSB R3L,ORION cannot be installed to FSSB.SO is Thrustmaster A-10C Warthog+FSSB. I highly recommend this set of equipment to pilots who like F16!!! Supplementary pictures…

Right now I'm looking into the Orion F18 HOTAS from Winwing to replace my TM T16000m stick + TWCS throttle. The Orion looks really great and has all the controls I'd need, plus that preorder price on their website is extremely enticing. I just don't want to be left without a HOTAS for too long and I have until July 22nd to return the TM package to Amazon. Does anybody (or Winwing themselves) have an estimate on when the unit would be shipped out & delivered after preordering? Thanks

Hello, I just received my Orion 2 F/A-18 HOTAS yesterday and I was setting it up last night. When I fired up DCS, the radar elevation controller on the throttle was for some reason bound to throttle, and I could move it up and down and I could see that DCS was registering my input. However... as soon as I unbound the radar elev. controller from throttle, I could not get it to work again with any other axis command in DCS. So, I checked Simapp Pro and sure enough it wasn't registering any input from the radar elev. controller (z-axis) at all. I tried literally everything possible-- firmware update, restore default config, unplug and plug back in (both the base and the right throttle itself) and nothing has worked. When I move the axis nothing shows up in Simapp pro or DCS. What's wrong? Any ideas? Did I just get a bad unit? it was working at first.... I of course also tried calibrating the axis to no avail. Every single other button on the throttle grip and base works.

The roll axis spring broke on my Orion v1 Joystick Base. Anyone know the dimensions of these springs? Searched high & low, can't find any info on it, only videos & diagrams showing the replacement process. I submitted a ticket through WinWing, they were responsive and said they'll ship a replacement (not sure when). I'd rather not wait for it to arrive from China. Also helpful to know in case of future breaks. Any info is much appreciated.

I've installed my Combat Ready & Flight panels. However, they do not sync to DCS. Is that normal? In SimAPP I chose option "sync" however no changes were made in export.lua. Therefore, I had to manually add the each button/switch/dial to the F-18, and other aircraft. Not a big deal. Aside from that, both panels are working fine and happy customer. Winwing combat ready panel Does it sync, does SimAPP make an export.lua? Can it be used without defining each button press in DCS?

What setting could help to read the HUD again. IIRC wasn't that a problem some time ago.

After updating to the latest software (1.8.18), my UFC/HUD controls are not recognized in SimApp Pro and the exports from the game are not working on the physical MIP UFC controller. The game recognizes the controller is there and functions correctly with all of the buttons/knobs, etc., so it is being detected by Windows and DCS, just not in the SAP software. I tried doing the repair lua function and that did not solve the problem. I tried unplugging the USB-C cable to the controller and plugging it back in, but that did not work either. I have the ST throttle, SL joystick, CR and TO panels, and the 3 MFDs connected, and they are all recognized and working correctly in SAP. Anyone else seeing this or know of a way to roll back to the previous version of the SAP software to troubleshoot?

Took a couple of days to get it where I needs it to be. . and much more comfortable. This is the Next Level Racing Boeing Military pit.
