So the Winwing MFSSB base for the F16 is a cool piece of hardware, however there’s always been something off.

The “realistic” mode seem to be anything but realistic according to F16 pilots or pilots who have flown civilian aircraft with a force sensing stick. The force only mode seems to the most realistic one, but it has a serious downside and that is the fact the MFSSB has big nasty dead zone, the completely ruins how it’s supposed to be, trying to do accurate flying like AAR with a big ass dead zone isn’t very nice.

So many have used the movement + force. But that’s not ideal either.

I’ve had the MFSSB for almost two years now and never quite been happy with it. I got kinda used it it. But it always felt off.

I regularly goodled and asked others what settings they used to get the base working right, and you have as many answers as people.

Then doing one of my semi regular googelings I found out that for like a year people have found out the dead zone is because of a giant gap(2-3mm) between the roller bearings and sensors, that causes the dead zone as the force sensing won’t kick in until the roller bearings hit the sensor. There are several ways of fixing this, the MacGyver way just shove anything between the two bearings and the sensor, you can use a 3d printed part, or you can even use metal.

I did the cheap MacGyver way, and cut small strips of plastic from some random battery package, 3 layers of this thin plastic works well, so 6 small strips. And it works, it really does, dead zone is gone. The F16 answers as soon as you start using force on it.
To test I did a quick and easy dogfight with a MiG29. With some acrobatics and low flying to test the stick after winning. Stuff like trying to hit a slow moving damaged mig with guns used to be kinda a pain, with the dead zone, so getting the thing on the thing could be more complicated than it should be. But it was much easier now.

So in case you are using the WW MFSSB and have that problem with the base, just find what solution you want, shove it in there, and set the settings to force only and everything is great now.

Hiya bud, where do you save the Alabama red tail to on DCS? 

 

Cheers

Gret pic mate, where / how do you get the darker paint skin and fuelntank from for this if ypu dont mind me asking 

You can find those skins and many more in the user files section of DCS: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/

The dark ones are called Have Glass, and they represent a new radar cross section reducing paint scheme that is starting to be used in real F-16 lately.

Here is the have glass version of the Red Tails one, pretty nice

I had the honour of flying with the mighty "Faisal". 

AWACS running. If I can't beat them - join them!

...Damn, those things are tiny

Recently jumped onto the Growling Sidewinder Server and caught two moments that I am sure left these pilots banging their desk with frustration.

In this short video, this guy had actually defeated the missile but crashed anyway!!!

I have another incident coming in the main video. Almost finished editing it.

Anyone else out there have similar experiences? perhaps yourself hitting the ground?

Here is the other stress kill. It was my second flight. Actually the same guy from the first engagement. He was lingering around the mountains, probably waiting for me to take off and fly over him.

Its short term fun the Growling Sidewinder for me. Nobody uses the SRS which is a shame.

Quick and easy to go in -fly and then finish. Not quite as team focused as the buddyspike server.

Anyone any recommendations for something similar to the buddyspike servers?

Here is the video by the way:
