Well said.

I'm thinking/hoping the PIMAX crystal is the first PIMAX product that will be win/win for the company and the user. Most are happy with it's technical capability and it's at a price point that's (almost) realistic for a serious simmer. I'm hoping they improve the view angle and resolution marginally, and make it lighter with fans. If they can do that for roughly the same price, I'll jump in. A next gen Aero would be a better product most likely but the cost may be prohibitive.

Loved the trailer and I'm completely jazzed about flying the F4. That said, I have very little time, and although I like to support the developers, I don't want to throw my $ away with a few flights in a the non-carrier variant only to spend the same amount on the carrier version when it comes out. Of course, if the carrier version will be a small add-on fee (or even free), then yes I can see picking up this module now. Does anyone know how the carrier version will be marketed? and... when it might come out?

I read my original post and it was way to strong and have reworded to put a more accurate emphasis on the message I was trying to get across (that it didn't seem to work for me... probably because I did not understand the concept as well as I thought). And I want to personally think you for the effort and time spent to make such a useable program for so many folks. I'd really like to learn to use it better and will look you up in a few weeks if at all possible. Thanks again for your capability, professionalism, kindness, and generosity.

The concept is great... If I could only master it. The binding/mapping process in DCS is straight-forward but tedious. I thought JoyPro was supposed to make it easy. It's like it randomly decides to map a profile when it feels like it... I have a clean file, and yet simple things like landing gear or arrestor hook show up in JoyPro but they wont map to DCS. Instead of making it easier, it's ended up being a challenge of its own. But, I know others would not think about not using it so I'm assuming it's me and not DCS or the program.

On standalone. I've never had to pick which version I want to run. I simply update to latest standalone and start... I'll go back and double-check my claim though... I'm getting older and more senile with each day so need to verify, but I don't believe I was ever prompted to make a new shortcut and choose a version, etc... And in the lower right it's just a number with no "MT" designation.

Thanks for the question and for explaining this. I really thought I was losing my mind because I thought the game was supposed to automatically pick the latest (MT) version when I started the sim. Why on earth would my machine default to the non-MT version is beyond me. I suspect there are a lot of folks out there who've never tested the MT version and think they've been using it!!! I guess I need to reroute the icon I use to start DCS to pull the "other" (MT) executable at startup. CRAZY!

Stupid question on how to launch MT (from command line)
Cavemanhead replied to dlder's topic in DCS 2.9
There is only a number there. No indication of ST or MT... -
I don't think this is a thread hikack so let me try... Does anyone have any videos that describe how to set the zoom and seat position in such a way as to best replicate what the pilot would see for any given airplane when the sim starts. Does zoom of 1.0 already do this? And is the default view supposed to be where the average pilot would sit?

OK I'm a Non steam beta user. How do I verify 100 percent that I'm using the MT version of DCS? Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk -
If so, which Buttkicker and how did you end up mounting it? Of particular interest is w setup that uses the BK Gamer 2 that's meant to mount to a cylinder. Or... An Advance or LFE mounted to the MFC Chair BK adapter Plate. How is it all working? What the the right size BK for the adapter plate setup?

Tips for a Virpil Noob who just got a Warbrd and C3 Throttle...
Cavemanhead replied to Cavemanhead's topic in VIRPIL Controls
Hmm... I sold my old rig to my son who plays DCS sometimes using my Thrustmaster Warthog. Really still wondering the best way to go about programming my Virpil stick/throttle. I'm assuming the Virpil SW is really difficult to use but will ensure any joystick files I have will never be compromised by my son's use of DCS and will give the best overall capability to my Virpil HW. Does that sound right?
