WINWING F/A-18C HOTAS 2019.12.17 DELIVER

[Ozone42]

I believe WinWing will open up purchases once this 2nd batch is all shipped.

But the shop said it was in stock, unlike earlier. Why would they show that it is in stock if they can't ship, and have me going through the process of registering and filling in everything, and then at the final stage say "sorry, no can do".

 

 

 

I checked again now, and now the version with the extension kit that I wanted is out of stock, and you can't even put it in your basket. Some other versions are still in stock though.

I just tried to order one, but once it was time to pay via PayPal, the PayPal site said: "The merchant isn't able to accept PayPal payments at this time. Please try again later or return to the merchant and choose another way to pay".

 

I hope they didn't fall victim to paypal freezing their account (which paypal is notoriously known for doing).

Winwing confirmed in an email to me that they are out of stock and there is a bug in the website that shows that they are in stock, although they aren't. And that I should "please wait for our good news."

"please wait for our good news." :D

No info about accepting orders again?

Fourth, and this is NOT Winwing's fault... the actual ENG CRANK and FUEL DUMP switches are magnetically held. For you to get them to operate practically, you'll have to map the ENG CRANK to the CYCLE commands, and will have to LUA edit the fuel dump ON and OFF (putting individual ON/OFF commands in default.lua), and use Joystick Gremlin to have FUEL DUMP only be a one second DX button instead of being constantly on, so it'll shut off when you reach bingo fuel.

For the lua bit, insert this at the beginning of Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\joystick\default.lua.

{down = engines_commands.APU_ControlSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINES_INTERFACE, value_down =  1.0, name = _('APU Control Switch - ON'), category = {_('Left Console')}},
{down = engines_commands.APU_ControlSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINES_INTERFACE, value_down =  -1.0, name = _('APU Control Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Left Console')}},

 

 

For the JG bit, you'll have to create a macro that executes a button press and release when Fuel Dump is moved to ON, and map that vJoy button inside of DCS.

@RogueSqdn you said 'Other throttle grip notes... first off, the pinky switch for external lights is a three-way switch on the Winwing, unlike the actual Hornet throttle, but I find that a bonus, because I can use that as a modifier in DCS and access my cockpit view controls when in VR.'

 

How can you map a modifier to a button or switch? I can not find a manual for simApp pro and am a little baffled about the process of using it.

[RogueSqdn]

By mapping a modifier I’m referring to within DCS.
