Dragon1-1 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 You sure it wasn't 18th of April? Because if it's 18th of May, then it's no wonder nothing has arrived yet, since you won't preorder it for over a week. That said, they sure do take their sweet time getting the preorders done.

danos_2503 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just received 3 of my packages today, the one missing is the Throttle Grip looks looks like it is still on east coast of Australia. Hopefully I get it next couple of days and it doesn't get lost! as Capthawk said why don't they ship it as one packaged box? Maybe shipping is cheaper in 4 units? Also didn't have to pay anything extra to FedEx or taxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChariotOfFLAME Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) @Brother_Leb's... brother here. Just ordered the Orion 2 HOTAS MAX for myself, so looking forward to the 4-6 week wait for payment, and the 8-10 day wait for shipping. Worth it though! I'll keep y'all updated EDIT: Pre-order confirmed! Edited May 11, 2022 by ChariotOfFLAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danos_2503 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 received all 4 packages now very happy with the quality coming from a X-56 seems like a great upgrade. Are most people using the simapp pro software? I ended up just mapping the buttons in DCS not sure if that is the best way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are most people using the simapp pro software? I ended up just mapping the buttons in DCS not sure if that is the best way? Most folks do not use SimApp Pro. There's a variety of reasons for this but the biggest one is that it is a pretty big resource drain when the app is running. This is a bummer and everyone wishes WW would fix that. Hopefully they will. Since you can map everything in DCS though, it's totally unnecessary to use/run most of the time. Make sure you calibrated your gear in SimApp Pro initially though. After that you can leave it off, but most troubleshooting starts with making sure it's calibrated. SimApp Pro is also the only way to set your AB detent to match both sim and gear. 32GB (4x8) DDR4 2400 | Intel Core i-7 8700 4.6 GHz | MSI ATX Pro Z-370-A | GeForce 2070RTX Super Founder's Edition WinWing Orion 2 Hotas w/ Hornet Throttle and Stick grips | HP Reverb G2 | BenQ 21" 60Hz | TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro Hornet driver, Blue Angel enthusiast, Tomcat stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danos_2503 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 thanks @Brother_Leb ended up installing simapp pro and just used it for as you suggested to calibrate and check all the buttons, super easy to configure in dcs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho_Longshanks Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Awesome. Definitely looks like they are catching up.

RogueSqdn Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Got mine this past week.
