probad Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 my hotas situation is fine but i'd love to be able to jumpstart a dear friend into this flying business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) As I don't really have space for it, another HOTAS would simply drive my wife nuts. As an added benefit, I could also use a simpler HOTAS for non-flight sims. It would be a double whammy of sorts :) Edited December 9, 2016 by Dudikoff i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

Norcat Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi ya. I'd love to have the chance. I am teaching my 12yr daughter to become a pilot. I fly for a living but have never had her up. Arghh...biz jets don't really allow for it. Lol I have flown the C-101 with her on my x-55 but think this would be the perfect set up for more Aviojet flying. Will be amazing to be able to do some father daughter form and eventually some LIFT together. So far she wants to be an 18 driver for the RCAF. Will be great fun to have played a small part in helping her learn to fly and cut her future fighter pilot teeth. Merry Christmas 476th and all DCS drivers out there!!!!

rag48 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thank you for the opportunity! I'd like to win because my 8 year old is addicted to DCS, and this HOTAS would be greatly appreciated and treated kindly. I think the great Jim Mackonochie (RIP) would approve of his enthusiasm for DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StiC Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I've already built a nice setup, so I don't really deserve it. As I upgraded with newer gear though I would donate to the more needy. This would be no different as there is a young air cadet who has a passion for flight sims and a need for better gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomOnSteam Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Not that I did this to get any kind of reward - I just wanted DCS to be able to be enjoyed by more people (especially those like me who have no flight or sim experience) but I have written many tutorials that have been viewed and praised by 25,000 people :) (http://steamcommunity.com/id/tomlobster/myworkshopfiles/?section=guides) I'm not saying I deserve to win, but perhaps it'll convince me to write some more tutorials if I have an actual HOTAS to create them with :D --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightzulu Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 EXCUSES, EXCUSES I need this HOTAS because I keep having my posterior handed to me by human and AI opponents alike and my (lame) excuse is that I'd be killing enemies by the bushel if only I had a decent stick because I obviously AM a great stick! :megalol: Putting this control setup in my hands will either make me the greatest online fighter jock ever, or (far more likely) force the humility that I so richly deserve upon me. Either way: win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramstein Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I deserve (I would rather not use the word deserve, but, if I must) I deserve (I would rather not use the word deserve, but, if I must). I am a disabled U.S.A.F. Veteran, with incurable necrotizing pancreatitis, I mostly do things inside the home, because outside hobbies are impossible from being sick. I got sick from chemicals in the USAF, e.i. jet fuel, fuels, and chemicals. My old Saitek gear is worn out and cannot afford a new flight stick, and want anew HOTAS bad. I can fly IL-2 ok, as the joystick works ok there, but in DCS, the old Saitek Stick just fumbles the keystrokes. Until the VA gets to my appeal, 20 years in the process of appeals, hospitalizations, etc, I don't have the cash for a new flight stick setup. PLus, it is cold and raining or snowing so I am inside mostly, and flying what I can, health permitting. I fly with my squad (AKA Wardogs, since about 1997.)
