  1. self corrected by connecting these two extra devices to a dedicated USB Hub directly connected to my PC.
  2. So I had my setup running smoothly with MIP until I plugged in my new Orion 2 throttle and F16 EX joystick then it seemingly interrupted the display properties of my computer or SIMAPP or both. On my display settings, I am now seeing 8 devices instead of the previously set 6 shown in the Monitors section with one of my DDI's monitor blanked out now. Anyone else experience similar issues and any successful corrections made ?
  3. Anyone replace the Warthog Throttle with the Orion 2 Throttle in terms of attachment to the base plate ? I have the F16 rail guide attached as well which makes the attachment points rather limited ? Any guidance or suggestions are welcome. thanks !
  4. Anyone know where I can find an EM performance chart for the hornet ? At least what's being used for the DCS F18 ?
  5. Is a robust ATC system in a future roadmap for DCS ? One of the things I miss from BMS was the ability to be vectored in the terminal area in IFR conditions.

    MIP MFD Binding

    By hook or crook, it's all working now. Thanks Rob ! Now for a decent Mixed Reality HMD to allow VR while seeing all the MIP hardware.
  7. Is there currently anything on the market that will allow for mixed reality through a HMD ? As a cockpit builder I’d like the ability to stay in VR but manipulate real world switches.

    MIP MFD Binding

    Thanks to Rob and a few others I have finally got my UFC sync'd with DCS. My next obstacle seems to be a rather simple one although I cant figure it out. It's the binding of my MFD OSBs. I followed the instructions in the SIMAPP Manual where the steps are to Select F18 / INSTANT ACTION / ESCAPE / ADJUST CONTROLS / select the MFD and bind the buttons manually. I have done exactly that and confirmed that the button presses are correct, but for some reason, in the simulation the button press does not yield the expected MFD page or function. In some cases no function at all. I also tried the file download from the device page for each of the MFD's and that didnt yield anything as well. I subsequently cleared out the file before trying the manual binding process explained above. Wondering what can be causing the errant button presses ?

    TOP GUN MIP Setup

    Hi, All the screens are functional now. I adjusted the resolution on my main monitor to the highest resolution and that caused the screens to display respective data to the right screens. I find SIMAPP to be somewhat anemic in defining the DEVICE section. Can you tell me what this page does exactly ? My Left DDI's Pushbuttons are controlling my right DDI functions and I think the screens although appearing correctly in the MFD Display screen are not correctly assigned in the DEVICE section. My UFC / HUD Control switches are activating the correct switches in the simulation but I still do cannot get the proper digits to appear in the WINWING UFC. This is in the cockpit flying in DCS. Thank you.

    TOP GUN MIP Setup

    The LCD screen being used as the AMPCD appears to function properly as an additional monitor in the Display Manager and will allow for files to be dragged onto the screen as any other normal screen. Issue still persists that it will not display any sim data and only shows desktop ( while the DDI's are operating normally after I selected the Winwing option under the Monitors setting ). I'll check again on the UFC connection but still showing as seen below. Wondering if it might be the settings in SIMAPP causing both issues ?

    TOP GUN MIP Setup

    Got both DDI’s showing data from DCS but the AMPCD not and UFC is still showing a starburst pattern

    TOP GUN MIP Setup

    Thank you for your willingness to help. So I got all MFD Display page items to go green. Now to figure why DCS data is not being transmitted to my MIP setup ... incremental progress ! I was pretty excited to get this setup from WinWing but my fun factor meter is now running on empty trying to figure how to overcome the next obstacle. I'm reading about the wwrt lua file that's supposed to write between MIP and DCS - my next rabbit hole to dive into !
