Is that the profile that combines both joystick and throttle into a single virtual device? If not, use the one that does. Also, you really don't need the rudder pedals for the F-16

Run the target script and while it's running open the joystick I'd changer. Make sure the virtual controller that target creates is ID 1. EDIT: For the profile it must be 1. Not just before the pedals. EvilJoven fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Nov 27, 2015 |

Maybe I'm missing something with the whole "keyfile" thing but it takes me no more than 5-10 minutes to just rebind all the hotas controls. I have CH pedals, a Fighterstick and Pro Throttle and BMS 4.33 lists everything in sections now. Even if I unplug and screw everything up, it's not that big of a deal because it's only like 50 key binds and half of them are TMS up-down-left-right etc. Once you get used to it, it takes even less time.

Because the fighterstick is nearly 1:1 with a real F-16 sidestick, I have it mapped as such. I think a TM Warthog has the exact same set up as well.  For the throttle, the set up is a little different but not a whole lot.  .The mini-joy obviously is the cursor, the bottom switch I just have bound to speedbreak in and out and the top one with the 4 point on it, I use for dogfight enable, disable and missile uncage. I can't seem to bind the chinahat for some reason. For the button on the back (the 4-way), that you can use you index finger for, I have bound to comms. UHF, VHF and comms in and out. The individual buttons on the back that you'd use your ring and pinky for on the throttle still, I have set for manual range so that you can zoom in and out on the TGP. i am kiss u now fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Tried out the Dedicated Server hack that Stanislaw made in a Linux VM (Arch) on my Windows 10 PC. Couldn't get his WINE port to compile on Linux without making some extensive changes that are a little to  for me, so I installed Windows 7 in QEMU (A virtual machine) and ran it there and it worked fine. Getting 45 FPS on the server. So Falcon now runs pretty well in an emulated environment in a virtual machine in a virtual machine.Edit: After experimenting with Wind Corrected CBUs they're hilarious kill everything death machines if you do a little homework. Attacking a column of vehicles? Figuring out the right angle (90 degree) bearing to the column and set it as the azimuth for your bombs, pair them and set the offset to the coverage area for the bombs, designate the head of the column, drop your bombs, target the middle, drop, target the end, drop. Watch the whole column vanish without having to overfly it or setup a perfect straight run down the column. As long as you're inside the drop range of the bombs (Which is huge if you're up high) your CBUs will nicely blanket the length of the column. You can do with with JSOWS as well if you just want to murder all living matter in a five mile radius. Edit 2, the Editing: If you pair them front to back you don't even need to figure out a right angle. Just use the column's heading. Sauer fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Also sometimes you'll lose awacs, and sometimes you can't lock onto any objects because it doesn't think an object is really there. Sometimes you won't get any ground units at all. Very unstable for me, unless there is a problem with 2008 server.

Are you spawning the host into the 3D world? Normally I'll just pick some transport squadron make a single ship ramp start sortie for the host and just leave it sitting there parked and unpowered. I didn't have any crashes or oddities from it after two hours or so running.

Its not a graphicless mod. It renders the 3D world using a software layer. If you have a videocard installed you should be seeing something. If you don't have one installed, you're VPN'ing into the machine and will still see the game world. Sounds like something is jacked up on your end.

You'll want pedals. CH Pro Pedals are excellent at $100. Better to get a $50 joystick +pedals for helos rather than a $150 hotas with a twist stick.

You're going to pretty much need rudder pedals for the huey, God help you if you try to fly that thing with a twist stick. KA 50 however, totally can be flown with a twist stick. I'd recommend the CH products, they have 3 main advantages - CH does industrial controls so they know what quality control and durability means. - You can use CH products as a home defense weapon and blugeon intruders with it. Product will likely still function long after the intruder is dead. - They all look like they came from the early 1990's so you can pretend its something you had as a kid if your unmarried and a woman shows up.

Couple of questions since I don't see a DCS specific thread: I'm getting stuff installed on my new PC. Should I just download the 1.5 Beta and not even bother with the 1.2 release at this point? Also, oddly enough going through the store and my purchased modules I do not show a serial # for A-10, but then I remembered I bought it off Steam. Can I move my steam license/serial# over to DCS, or vice versa? I also own FC3, Combined Arms, P51D, UH3, and Blackshark 2. Also, if I am going to jump hard into a sim right now, what is the consensus of best one to spend time on? Falcon or DCS? I remember when F4 came out and I really liked the campaign engine, but that might just be a memory fogged over by many years. I'll ask my non-combat flight sim questions over in the other thread  Thanks!

slidebite posted:Couple of questions since I don't see a DCS specific thread: IIRC you can use Steam DCS codes with standalone DCS, but you cannot use non-Steam DCS keys in Steam. DCS is an excellent flight sim, but as a Fun Video Game it lags behind Falcon BMS. Definitely use the 1.5 beta, as it's a huge performance and QoL boost over the current version. Falcon BMS is a much better "game" due to its excellent dynamic campaign generator (DCS has nothing like it), but its interface is a 90's hellhole and there's a reason why many of the posts in this thread are about control configuration issues.

HI. You dont need rudder pedals to fly the huey. Only two options are either i am a god pilot in a helicopter (i'm not) or the huey isn't as bad as everybody says w/r/t rudder pedals/twist stick (its this one).

I would highly recommend this joystick for a cheap, but fantastic quality one http://www.amazon.ca/Thrustmaster-2...master+t+16000. Then all you need is a set of rudder pedals, CH or Saitek. CH is built better, but are somewhat narrow and close together. Saitek knows the  'y folks they're making this poo poo for, so they have a more comfortable, wider spread.

I agree, twist stick may not be ideal but it is entirely adequate. Also, if you go the cheap joystick + pedals route, you're going to be stuck with the fiddly little throttle on the joystick for the collective.

The combat stick doesn't have a 4-way switch on the side and it's short one on top. Depending on which aircraft you fly and how spergy you are, it may not be. In the F-16 and A-10 at least, I can't see myself doing without them.

Probably worth the extra moolah for the A10C and the F16 and any other modern sim coming out soon. I think the CH Fighterstick is a long-term keeper.
