Mölders

I was definitely updating the FW for no other reason than it was a higher number - like a lemming. Razwald, you’re absolutely right, it works fine to use in USB 3.0, but FW updates can only be done connected to USB 2.0 or by disabling xHCI if your BIOS give you the option.

Bottom line up front is, don’t try to update firmware on a warthog using USB 3.0 ports. Long story short, had to pick up a cheap laptop at Target with USB 2.0 ports so I could revive my HOTAS. It was a brick for a little bit there. I’ve been dusting things off and testing, but I still feel like I don’t know where to start 🤣 On the good news front I tested out CloD Blitz and I was able to run it relatively stable with medium settings. I remembered back in the day we would test with the Black Death .trk and FPS stayed in the 80’s through the heavy graphics sections. I think next step will be to get together with a patient soul who can help me get some initial setup pointers and test the rig in an online flight. S!

Yes, that would be awesome!

Oh man, Richter was the best! When I was in Army flight school I remember thinking, wow I already know this from my JG1 training with Richter. It would be awesome to know what he’s up to. Sturtz, you’re absolutely right, the comraderie and mutual support are what make these communities awesome. I look forward to meeting new people, reconnecting with others, and learning from everyone. If no one else is flying as Werner Mölders, I’d love to get back into character. However, I don’t want to cramp anyone’s style, I can always start fresh. S!

Salut! JG1, It’s been too long. I flew with this great group of virtual aviators back in 2005-2006 under the nom de guerre, Mölders. I’m not ready to start flying again quite yet, but I just wanted to reintroduce myself to the group, start lurking the boards, and hopefully start flying in the near future. -What is your Timezone? Eastern -Do you have a joystick or HOTAS? HOTAS (Warthog, never opened lol) -Do you have TeamSpeak installed, as well as a working microphone? TeamSpeak and Headset (just need a refresher on use) -Do you have TrackIR, or a FreeTrack system for view control? Older TrackIR, dreaming of making the jump to an Oculus -What sims are you currently flying? DCS A-10 and Arma 3, but very seldom. -How did you hear about JG1? I’m an alumn from a while back. -Is there anything else that you'd like us to know? I keep a pretty busy unpredictable schedule, but whenever I start flying I will reliably be there for the flights I commit to. I actually became an Army Aviator after I stopped flying with JG1. I’m working as the Operations Officer for an Air Ambulance detachment. It’s a lot of fun, but we have a busy duty schedule. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all and hopefully fly with you all soon. Salut!
