UAV Aircraft and inputs

[drsgfire]

So.... let me bring something up that I don't think I've seen mentioned on these forums yet. I'd like to know if anyone has thought about flying UAV's in DCS. But instead of flying them with a joystick, you would be flying them with something like this

 

There are RC sims like PheonixRC that support this interface so what kind of barriers would we face in trying to get this working in DCS? Even though the radio is about $200, the guys that fly RC would really appreciate this.

drsgfire is correct, the large class UAV air frames do operate with the stick and rudder pedals but the smaller class most definitely operate with the RC style controller. Also know as a PCB (Pilot Control Box)

Which of those are included in DCS?

I've been flying UAS for 15 years, but thanks for schooling me up, bro.

 

 

Your welcome Bro :D

 

I have been a UAS flight instructor and R&D pilot for the last 8 years as well.

As to not look like a total noob.... YEA, UAS is exactly what I was referring to... lol. Anyway I do have a realflight controller that I let my father borrow. I'll pick it up and see if it will work. A lot of the flight sims don't seem to pick up the radio as a windows controller though. Might require some coding... errrgghhh.
