sirrah Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I totally agree!

Aries144 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I can't recommend it highly enough, especially at the reasonable price Miles is asking. If you have VR and fly DCS, your setup isn't complete without PointCtrl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyman Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk Maybe check out VAICOM Pro, to preclude the need to mess around with the comms menu.

Andrew u.k. Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Maybe check out VAICOM Pro, to preclude the need to mess around with the comms menu. Yes, I need to re-look at it, I purchased it but couldn't get it working and gave up. I obviously installed it wrong. Since making that video, I've tried my ply cockpit with a lot of the other modules and they all work fine, I've slightly increased the space between my throttle and the vertical board, I was struggling getting to some switches and now it works well.

Snake122 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 How often does PointCtrl need calibrated? lt's not a long process but if it needs done every time I enter a plane it can add up. Also I end up alt-tabbing out a lot for my other apps like DCS Flight panels and Voice Attack/Vaicom. Will using my regular mouse on these mess up PointCtrl? Definitely recommend Vaicom for the immersion alone, but it's complicated to setup. Follow the guide and most of the issues are taken care of.

sirrah Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 In short, you pretty much only need to do the calibration once. However, you could do it a few times when you first setup, just to make sure you familiarize yourself with the calibration steps and get the most accuracy out of your PointCTRL With Miles' new audio assisted calibration, it's all easy peasy So, again, no need to do the calibration every time, and no, mouse inputs won't mess up calibration :) System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can set up the plywood cockpit in about 5 seconds. I tab out also, mouse works fine for me, sometimes if there is a bit of ir interference it can go funny.

sirrah Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thanks guys, PMed Firecat to get on the list a few hours ago! One last question, how's the battery life? Of course it depends a little on how much you activate/use them (they go into sleep mode after a short while), but my guesstimate is about 4 or 5 hours. I never really had 'em go flat during my dcs sessions (don't ever really have the luxury of playing more than 4 hours straight). Just briefly charge 'em after one or two sessions and you'll be fine System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's over priced, I'm sure it's very close to cost and money for time building/developing, but it's still too much for me on justify at this time.

Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk Hey Andrew, Did you re calibrate after setting up you panel? Re-calibrating at the same distance as the panel will dramatically increase your accuracy at the edges of you field of view.

Hehe No, it's not needed :) Andrew added it because he finds it easier to point and hold his finger steady. I can imagine it also adds a bit to immersion too. Haven't got around it myself, but I think I'll follow his example.
