RogueSqdn Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Yes, it could very well be a problem. Depending on the angle the sun comes in, blinds may not be enough (they are for me). A curtain could be necessary.

hsth Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ok, thanks. Maybe a stupid question but would a piece of sunglass on the headset item filter enough or would it then not work at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSqdn Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I don’t know, Miles would have to answer that. My instinct is that if you put a filter in front of the HMS, it wouldn’t be able to see the FCUs either.

Gasebah Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I have pre-ordered mine. But how do I get on the mentioned list? I wasn’t visiting the forum regularly when I ordered them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy55 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I have pre-ordered mine just now. I know it is developed for DCS, which is great but would love to be able to use it in IL-2 as well, even in a limited way as that doesn’t have clickable cockpits.

WS Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I would like to use my existing keyboard and mouse, along with PointCTRL when flying the DCS F/A 18, is that possible? Thanks! In the unlikely event I can't get PointCTRL to work, is there a return policy? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSqdn Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 To your first question, yes, but if your FCU lights are on and in the FOV of the HMS while you’re trying to move the mouse they will interfere with each other. The timeout setting of the FCUs can be adjusted though. If the FCUs are timed out, that means the LED turns off to save battery and the HMS won’t see it, hence there will be no interference when trying to use your mouse. Your second question would have to be answered by Miles.

DutchCoolHand Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) 2 questions, first I had to recalibrate my fcu’s as I went to one screen and I feel the mouse cursor is very jittery now. When point somewhere the cross is always moving a bit. More than it did before. Any idea? second, I love the function on the Quest2 where you can double tab the case to get the pass through view. This afternoon I transferred the Aux controllers to my Quest2 and the double tab does not work anymore. Anyone else seen this? EDIT: a restart has resolved this.

MilesD Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Update: We are starting to ship v2 and are ramping up production slowly. Those of you on FireCats list can now just submit your order anytime using the pre-order form on the PointCTRL website. You will keep your place in line, and when batches are ready to shi,p the lowest numbers will ship first. I noticed a few of you already used the form before I was done with it. The good news is, the sorting worked perfect by list number. I added a few things, mostly just a Basic and Advanced kits to make things easier to order and a bit of a discount. If you want to update your order just resubmit it and I will delete the old one. If the order form is not clear, please let me know. I can make things overly complicated sometimes. You may have to zoom in a bit to read some of the pics. We will have a regular online store as soon as we are through the pre-orders, and if there is still interest. Thanks everyone for your continued patience.
