  1. Eh. Do the LEDs have common Vcc? Then I'd just solder in a poti. When doing Case III they are not exactly annoying, but I wouldn't mind dimming them a bit.
  2. It is possible that the mission was created before a patchday, but then again, we had 10 Hornets in the air and nobody but me had any issues with it. I could ask the author to provide the miz file, if it helps.
  3. I'd like to point out what HB *has* already delivered. The cat feels way more complete to me than the Hornet, for example. There are some features missing like Jester operating LANTIRN, but hell that's by no means an easy task.
  4. atazar: blue. daarseth: can't hurt, but still would be weird. what sort of bug is fixed by running file repair when the disk is ok.
  5. Strangest thing today in multiplayer: en route to the action I fire up the TGP and crosshair comes on, I can't slew though. Exited the page and wanted to re-enter, from that on all SA pages were unavailable. Button would move when pressed but MFD = no response. Open Beta, patched to whatever is latest on 08dec2019. AC was auto-started, so was another player's which worked fine. Mine showed quite a few BIT tests not good, but whil flying I was tracking the wing on Data Link, so it did work for a while till I fenced in. Bug? Feature? Wrath of the gods?
  6. Now take the buttkicker principle to bracelets and give feedback to your arms when you click switches. I think that might be sufficient, not necessarily needs to be applied to the fingers directly. Oh, off topic. Yay Carrier!
  7. My first thought "there is the one who goes crazy", then "IR transflective fingernail polish!!" Two cameras should do.
  8. I just mötleycrüed the hood. Twice :D When can I throw my money at the shop?
  9. Decided to return mine and wait for next gen. Can't make it track head position, only 3DOF, towards the rim of the FOV it still gets fuzzy (though better than other sets I tried, namely Rift CV1 and S). I can't just have a quick look at anything like an MFD without turning my head there still, just turning my eyes I'm in the fuzzy bit, no matter how I adjust the set around my head and tinker with IPD. Even worse when you try something left or right, say tune TACAN in the Tomcat. I simply can't read the dial no matter how much I move my head, and VR zoom means I have to bend my neck even more where a real pilot can use his eyes. And even all that aside today's sets FOV leaves to be desired, and when talking 170° like the Pimax we need GPUs able to handle it, or an engine that supports SLI/CF. So yay VR but I'll wait a bit.
  10. I'm a Linux guy and have a bash installed and *will* use it! Thanks all.
  11. Can one simply restore these files on a different installation? I noticed they carry some ID that looks like a USB UUID or sumsuch. Do these stay or will Windows generate random new ones? Maybe it simply ignores them for a wrong ID.
  12. I'm having a rather hard time here re-installing my inputs after I had to reinstall Windows. I though`t c:\users\username\saved games\DCS\Config\Input\<modulename> I only see .diff.lua there and these contain for example the default button layout for, say, wing sweep in the F-14B - even in a backup I drew a while back. Am confused. Help?
  13. Uh... does "repair" only look in the folder where it was called from or would it "repair" a backup attached on a backup drive, too? I had my old system on a usb-to-sata adapter when repair ran, and the timestamp on the input config files is from 8 hours ago when I definitely wasn't running the game... that would be harsh, re-configuring all my modules.
  14. update: when I press ESC in the load screen I hear game sound, so the game engine is running, but no screen output EDIT - FIXED, reboot, all good
  15. That did not go too well. For one, my input controls settings are no tright though thte files are there, but the bigger problem is that whne starting a flight I'm looking at the load screen forever. Something is seriously hosed.
  16. I don't quite get why I should disabled DRM modules *after* backing up the files?
  17. Need to reinstall Windows, would not want to download it all again. Any options? File backup and copy back after core game install?
  18. I have an idea how to build the resettable switches you find in the F-14, say AP engage, Stabilizer Channels and so on... anyone know where I can upload a persistent image?
  19. With a matching throttle would be neat. I like my WH throttle, but it's, well, very warthoggy. The castle and thumb 4way you lose with that grip could well be compensated on the left hand, but I'm not sure how much of a market there is for an F-14 throttle.
  20. Base question I'd like to know, too. And while I cheer for the effort I have to say my WH has two more 4-ways I'd dearly miss playing the module. Which makes clear what's gotta happen next: throttle :)
  21. We're comapring prices, not prices + your favorite vendor's extras and their pricing. 380/620 straight from heise/geizhals, so lowest in germany. I'm surprised MF doesn't play in that area, they are usually the ones with best prices.
  22. RX5700XT = 380 EUR RTX2080=620 EUR RTX2080S, yes, that's in 750 area, but I wouldn't compare those. From what I hear the 5700 comes closer to 2070 than a 2080, and if you want 2080 power the 2070Super matches that rather - and the 2070Super goes at around 500. Like I said, keep in mind drivers and DCS being a niche product in comparison to titles that sell by the hundred thousands. AMD won't outdo themselves tweaking the last bit out of DCS. It was quite another deal if the DCS enigne supported SLI or CF or better both, then 2 RX5700 would be something I's consider. Or a VR abstraction layer where you'd have one GPU per eye. Just not sure yet. Too many open questions, too few DCS benchmarks.
  23. So plus ca change: AMD have a potentially good card but drivers screw it up and especially in this niche title while their code crew target squeezing more fps out of Far Cry and Witcher. And then I'm eyeing an HP Reverb, so 4k res and VR impact. Should save for a 2080.
