Archduke Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, iRocco said: Which one did you get? I decided to go the whole 9 yards with Virpil. Ordered the normal Rotor Base with a Constellation L together with the Chair Mount and additionally a MongooseT Base with 20cm Extension for my WH Stick plus Desk Mount since my homebuilt desk mount won’t work with the extension. I briefly contemplated getting a TCS plus Base and a Hawk grip but I’ll use the WH throttle as throttle (which should only be needed twice per flight) and since the Constellation has a ministick and more buttons/hats than the Hawk I went with that combo.

The "Quick Start Guide" doesn't look and feel anything other than a full fleshed out manual in the making. Have you checked it out? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/AH64D_flight_manual_en/ Over 300 Pages. I really think, it's just an uncareful choice of words here....

hotrod525 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 As the release is feeling "imminent" for real, well within the TwoWeeks™ windows, is there any announce for "dedicated hardware" by any of the major manufacturer ? I've only found BugEyeTech and it doesnt realy look like they sell this to "casual gamer". Sorry if Off Topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre really going all out on this. Dedication. I ordered a bunch of Virpil a few weeks ago. Still processing.

I ordered on Feb 14, so it's been exactly 3 weeks. What did you order?

Ya helos are fun but ill never forget my first love the A10. ConstellationR, mongoose cm2 base, CM3 throttle, control panel 2, and some mounts and other accessories. These had enough buttons for the apache and appeared to be the best fit for the wide variety of flying I do. I was sick of replacing my TWCS or T16000 every year from wearing them out. These should last a long while. Let us know when your order passes processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image of the capture of the screen that is contained in the comment of Lampshade indicates that Matt Wagner has stated that we "Certainly [do] not" need to wait until all of the videos are released until the module is available in Open Beta.

Wags said the startup vid will be last before it drops. Those people using it on YT are closed beta testers. We've had manuals a few weeks before release before.
