I've received my invoice today, and I have upgraded my order by submitting a new preorder form on the website, indicating the date of my first pre-purchase. The site returned "preorder submitted" but I have not received a confirmation email. Is this correct? Should I wait for a new invoice now? I'm sorry but I do not use Discord. Thanks.

 

Hey Ness,
I updated all of the invoices with the requested changes. DM me here with your email if you did not receive it.

Thanks for your patience.

Received and payed, thankyou! I can't wait for my package, in the meanwhile I'm studying calibration and such, in order to be ready

Just a last question: I've received a tracking number but no info on how to use it, thanks.

[MilesD]

Hey guys,
I consolidated some v2 calibration references and videos on the website here . https://pointctrl.com/instructions/  I know the instructions are a bit of a mess between the different versions.

Hopefully this helps, videos are not really in my wheelhouse.

@nessuno0505, if you DM me your email, I can check.

@MilesD I've found the reference to follow my shipment, thanks!

I preordered on the 18th July and have still not received an invoice.

[MilesD]

Hey Guys,
Finally finished with switching PointCTRL over to resin cases. This should speed up production significantly. 

@kuabi, we start production again tomorrow and we will be sending invoices for January pre-orders. You can follow the shipping progress in my sig.

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Quick question, I did the pre order form back on July 8 2021 and have not heard anything yet.

is this normal are they not up to July yet?

 

****Edit****

I see the post above says they are doing January pre orders. So I guess I have about 7 more months of waiting?

Just an easy question: how to know if FCUs V2 are fully charged? USB tester says my USB are 5V; il I plug the FCUs with the magnetic cables a blue light turns on. Blue = charged?

blue light out, while on charger = fully charged

Thanks. Can you tell me also how to configure the 6 additional pushbuttons connected to the HMD (not the FCU's ones)?

Manual says they are qwerty by default, but it seems not.

Moreover, 1st and 3rd right button do not give inputs (the red led does not blink if I click), while they work only if I keep the 2nd right button pressed.

Is this normal? 

[Lt_Jaeger]

The aux buttons are qwerty but they are also sensitiv to the right connector. If you don't get that indication, you might try to switch connectors (I was lucky to get them right in the first place) 

 

What I do, if the FCU acts up (got a early FW model), I remove the frond lid and briefly disconnect the battery, that resets the FCU. Helped every time, so far. If that doesn't help, contact @MilesD, he is pretty eager to provide great support. 

[nessuno0505]

Ok, they are qwerty if configured in DCS, but I have a problem on the right one: two buttons work only if the third is pressed, as if it was a modifdier.

 

It was a faulty wire, solved thanks to MilesD

Hi there sir. 

I read somewhere it's almost mandatory to provide some slack for the usb cable of the headset sensor to improve the lifespan, it's that right? 

[Ala12Rv-Tundra]

Nevermind, the USB connector just broke. damn it.

[Sr.]

Any way of getting an estimate as to how far out I am on the list? Ordered back in Jan.

Hey Tundra, I sent you a DM on Discord, We will get another one out to you.  It is important to use the included zip tie to secure the USB cable to the integrated cable support on the HMS.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
