Total newb here, asking my 1st stupid question

[Edbert]

I was pretty heavy into flight-combat for 20 years, but since them have been more focused on simracing.

So now that I have a VR headset I want to check out some flight combat again. But other than my PC and headset my gear is seriously old.

I have a CH rudder set (my TM set used DB-15 connectors so I sit here and stare at it) and an early model TM Cougar (HOTAS) with aftermarket hall-effect sensors and gimbal.

First question is, where can I find the Foxy config files for DCS?

you dont strictly need Foxy for dcs to be able to use the Cougar. But if you really want to use Foxy anyway, here is a thread with the download links:

Awesome! If I could give more than one like I would. I made it halfway through the second part before I found things I need to look at, but am grateful for any time savers.

I just spent an hour plus trying to get my mouse and HOTAS recognized in IL2!

hello all.... DCS noob here.
got the flight sim bug and ordered a virpil throttle and flight stick on "black friday sale".

then proceeded to download 'DCS world' and came to find my present PC was....
W-O-E-F-U-L-L-Y inadequate.
proceeded to order a 'thoroughbred' (for me) gaming pc with AMD X570 CPU/ RTX 3080 GPU...
and JUST found out that only (1) of my 2TB WD SN850 NMVe SSDs will work at Gen4 speed... while the second WD SN850 will only runs at Gen3 speed. WTH ???

as it pertains to: where to install the DCS program... how to configure SSDs and HDDs... partitioning of drives... etc...

- what is the ideal way to set-up DCS on a pc gaming computer?
- what is the best way for me to set-up DCS on my rig?

sincere thx to you ALL in advance.
looking forward to flying next to you all in the skies.
regards,
wotrwokr

(i guess that's TWO questions.... sorry)
