  1. I've used Buttkicker Gamer 2 for years with no trouble and immense satisfaction. In my experience it just adds so much to flying and racing sims. Not only double the immersion but the tactile feedback provides important information when flying or driving, especially for piston engine fighters!
  2. Definitely recommend. I sold my TrackIR 5 long ago when I switched to VR, but now that I'll be gaming on the road with a laptop, I plan to order another TrackIR 5 Pro as soon as possible. The best thing I can say is that after configuring it to your liking you literally forget that you're using it. It's just that natural to turn your head to look around the game world that you don't think about the hardware that makes it possible.
  3. If you're flying in VR, it's not only worth it. It's a MUST. ;o)
  4. Totally agree with Hummels. I expected the long distances to drag on but instead enjoyed every minute!
  5. I have the same problem, have to disassemble the base once every month to reseat the connections.
  6. I found that I got stuck in the last couple of missions, and would recommend that others try the mod. The problem in the last mission is that units are hidden deep in the forest and undetectable with the Shkval.
  7. I just wanted to emphasis this. Coming from Rift S, the Reverb G2 gives an incredible bump in sound and picture quality. But WMR is a whole new world of pain that makes you realize just how solid Oculus software really is.
  8. What happened to the WWII kickstarter link in the DCS user profile page? I'm pretty sure the new Mossie is not included in this but wanted to confirm. Also, I want my T-shirt!
  9. Comes, be sure you land on the same helipad that you took off from (the center one).
  10. Just wanted to add my thanks. This is a great campaign with lots of variety and detail. And rock solid! I haven't encountered a single bug or glitched trigger. The only times I got stuck were because of my own misunderstanding or incompetence. Sometimes it sure felt like a lot of work, but finishing each mission is incredibly rewarding. The weather and lighting made that last mission especially unique. Well done!
  11. I'm surprised that Pandemic seems to be one of the less popular campaigns. Having just finished it, I quite liked it. You get to see the PG map up close in glorious detail, and the mission variety is outstanding. Having also played Medvedev II and Deployment, I'd say Pandemic is my favorite.
  12. OK, that's the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks! I see this is actually an upgrade kit from the Mk2 to the Mk3. What are the benefits of the upgrade? I'm curious but couldn't find anything on the website.
  13. Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I'm referring to; it's how I temporarily resolve it. Why should the connector keep coming loose every month or so? Is there a replacement subcomponent I could buy from VKB to correct this? I don't see that anything is pulling on the wires. Thanks.
  14. My follow-on question would be, how do you get the "Ready for taxi" prompt to occur? I've started my heli and switched on everything I could see as shown in the video above but nothing happens. What's the magic formula? I love a detailed campaign, but at the same time hate chasing triggers! UPDATE: Well, I managed by just barging my way onto the runway. Then I got permission to take off, and then, permission to taxi to runway. Might I add, it's great so see a fantastic terrain that is not the Caucasus! lol UPDATE2: Trigger for permission to take off seems to be to raise the collective a little. OK.
