Especially for those of us who fly DCS. Here is an attached video, so we can check out the Air Force's sweet rigs.

Klaiber Posted May 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I was being a bit sarcastic, as their systems look really rudimentary. Being the Air Force, you think they'd have sweet systems, rumble seats, etc. But I guess everyone has a budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erhardt Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 I wonder if someone has checked that everyone are using the same joystick curves in DCS......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Interesting use of VR for the real heros... Aircraft Mechanics, because pilots need heroes too Britchot, Klaiber and Snaggle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word on when they might ship. I think normal wait is about 6 months. EDIT: Preordered 2/22/21.

USED to have them, it was a 9mo wait for mine & didnt really care for it. There is allot of tinkering involved in getting them working well but I have gotten to the age where I hate tinkering with settings so I sold them a cpl months ago. I have some buddies that swear by them & say if it were to break they wouldnt be able to fly without them. As in all things, to each his own & YMMV.

Heinrich Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 The last of the waiting list are send. Now starts the sending of the 1st December 2020 applications. My request is from the 17th Dec: I can hear the distant sound of drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Drumms are getting awfully loud! Tomorrow the Point Ctrls arrive, very exited to start using them. Maybe they could be of use in SC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I finally found (=made) the time to calibrate the finger taps. Awesome. Very happy with the result, reach out your hand L or R press one of the buttons on the FCU to activate a switch, dial, button etc. More immersive and a lot faster than a mouse. As an extra I have on the mask 2 rows of 3 buttons which are connected as QWE-RTY and can be bound as a key. I haven’t tested it yet in SC.
