    custom-made five-direction button rings (the directions enable left click/right click/scroll up/scroll down/disable).

    The rings are micro-USB rechargeable, and can handle six-eight hour sessions, with two weeks of standby time.

    @frenzon, thanks for making fingers! It works really great! 
    How can I get or make copies of your rings?

    Hi Goblin, not my design but I build one according to this thread and it works like a charm. The diagram is correct as is, green wires connected to green and grey to grey. Cant explain but it works. The magenta wires are connected, its a voltage divider. Two resitors between +5v and ground, and between the resistors you can grab 2.5v.

    Ok! Thanks for the input.
    What size adjustable resistors did you use?

    This looks like a cool project! I will try to copy your efforts, but I have some trouble understanding your wiring?

    I took the liberty of making a few notes on your diagram.
    Should green go to green, and grey to grey, like in your drawing? If so, how do you know which load cell that see the load? Or should the wires go crossed, like I have drawn? I mean, the loadcells should be able to differentiate between which one is being pressed? 
    Note that you may very well be correct here, but I just can’t get it to work in my head 🙂

    Also, what’s the deal with the 5V and GND? The magenta wires shouldn’t connect, am I right?

    I am most grateful for any help you can provide!

    Its "aircraft" ... lower case

    That didn’t matter, but well spotted.

    is there another SK60 mod folder or similar in there or do you get multiple folders and files?

    No, but it turned out I was being stupid.

    I was so sure I deleted the SK60 mod folder from the DCS/Mods/Aircraft folder…but it turns out I didn’t..! 😏

    Now it works with the SK60 mod folder in the saved games folder routing…

    Thanks for the help everybody!

  5. I can't install this mod... Granted, it's my first unofficial mod, so I'm probably doing something stupid..?

    First of all, I have no mods folder in my saved games folder.
    C:\Users\goblin\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta

    If I put the DCS-SK60-Mod folder here D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft I get an error message when starting DCS about unauthorized mod and the folder got deleted.

    Is there something I need to do to get DCS to accept this mod?

    It goes like any aircraft mod into /saved games/dcs/mods/aircraft.

    I have never installed a mod before… Never felt like I needed one, until now 😉

    OvGME can install in DCS core or Saved Games

    I had mine set to the DCS root.

    So, move the entire SK60B folder into the …/saved games/…/aircraft/ folder, or?

    I tried looking at the readme file, but there was just a link under ”Installation”. Followed the link, but found no infor pertaining the installation there either…

  7. The SFI (pilots manual) for the AJS37 says that the airbrake can be opened partially by letting go of the airbrake switch, after it has been held backwards. 
    The DCS version seems to be opening fully and won’t stop when the button airbrake out is released.

    Furthermore, according to the SFI, the airbrake should retract automatically when landinggear is selected down. With gear down, the airbrakes only opens momentarily, as the switch is held backwards, and autoretracts when the switch is released. This doesn’t seem to be the case in the module…

    Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug?

    Do you have a list of parts, please? especially the triangular shaped bracket?

    Hi! 
    No list. But all you need is a steering damper, as mentioned elswehere in the thread, and a longer M5 screw to attach the damper body to the pedal swing arm.

    The triangular bracket is made from stock aluminium L beam.

    How is it different from any other module or 3rd party? What relevance does ''native'' have to anything?

    I’m not talking about any other module or third party.

    I just think it would be cool to have haptic feedback support directly in DCS, just like force feedback.

    surely the shakers don't produce much actual sound? 

    They mostly vibrate. But the structure that the bass shakers are attached to can generate a lot of noise from vibration and resonance. It depends on your setup.

  10. I read @Brainfreeze’s first post in this thread and felt like I’ve found my long lost brother… 😉 I had the exact same experience.

    I never thought fit would be an issue when I saw that highly configurable strap setup. The Oculus CV1, RiftS and Reverb G2 all fit me just fine. The Aero did not. It was really uncomfortable. Having used it for over a week now, I have found a setting that works. I contemplated returning the Aero, but having used if for several days I tried going back to the G2, and…no. The G2 was incredibly comfortable compared to the Aero, but that’s it. I’ve fallen in love with the visuals of the Aero and the increase in performance. I thought doing without motion reprojection would be a problem, but it’s not. I also reacted to the distortions, but again, going back to the G2 revealed that this headset has distortions too, I just had learned to cope. Now I’ve learned to cope with the distortions in the Aero as well.

    I also have just one base station. I have mounted in the ceiling, above and maybe 1m in front of me. This position seems to work just fine. At least for sitting in that spot, which I do, when flightsimming.

  11. I may have spoken too soon…

    Now you can cancel the ATT and HÖJD by selecting the lower mode. I.e. if ATT and HÖJD is engaged, you can press ATT to cancel HÖJD, or you can press SPAK to cancel both ATT and HÖJD. This is correct behaviour.

    However, you can also cancel SPAK, ATT and HÖJD by selecting the respective mode. I.e. you can cancel HÖJD by pressing HÖJD again. Same with ATT. And, you can also cancel SPAK by pressing SPAK. According to the SFI (The aircraft operating manual) SPAK can only be cancelled by pressing SNURK on the stick, or by pulling the circuit breaker.

    But at least it is now possible to use the Styrautomat as intended, even if there are some extra features 😉
