Just curious as to which planes are you guys looking to get?

Yeah I knew it was... LOL.... but like you said cool video

Some say it is fake... maybe so but if it is it was a good edit What is your take?

I can not recommend enough getting an extension for your Hog. Here is my foldable setup, perhaps you can steal some ideas: http://www.battle-fields.com/commscentre/showthread.php?25663-Project-Foldable-SimPit Nice setup.... I am sure glad I have my man cave. No problems with the wife here but then again we are empty nesters now so she has her own room also. What material did you make the folding desk out of?

Has anyone seen cockpit image files (dash and side panels) for the planes in CLOD?

I found some really nice push buttons pretty cheap on Ebay. They come in a range of colors. As well as some Long Handle and Rotary on-off-on momentary switches Got to have some safety switches https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2928/14761932602_16d79cc790_o.jpg

Well I can't seem to catch a break. Although I was planning on spending some quality time learning IL-2 better this fall I decided to at least fire everything back up when I returned from a long trip away. Well last year it was my hard drive that died in my second PC for my touchscreen used for Helios and UDPSpeed. I had to wait several weeks to get it back from warranty repair. Now I find that the ELO touchscreen has a lot of horizontal lines on it. My educated guess would be that the capacitors are failing. Many electronics these days have this issue. So I guess I will be tearing the touchscreen apart and see what I can find. Not many other options as most new Touchscreens do not support XP which is what that secondary PC is running. There is also the problem of trying to get the same type of pit setup for Cliffs of Dover. It does not support UDPSpeed so getting gauges exported on to a networked PC seems unfeasible. There is the VC application which works on a second monitor but that complicates matters greatly unless I run a second monitor just for the gauges off the main PC. I do have a 19" LCD sitting here but it sort of messes up the aesthetics a lot. I also was looking at building a hard button panel as my BU0836X card used for the trim controls has 32 buttons sitting there unused. So worse case I could use the 19" for the gauges (UDPSpeed for IL-2 1946 might not like a local monitor without a lot of FPS loss) and real buttons for the controls coupled with my HOTAS buttons and switches should handle most functions. If anyone has a switch box built please share a picture. I also am building a Warthog extension. I have all the parts (<$20) and just need get it done. I will then make changes to the pit to handle the extra length. Still not sure if I will try and mount it to the side or the middle. If I do the middle I will have to come up with a way to move it out of the way when I use my Wheel for racing. Lucky for me the PVC pipe is easy to work with and cheap. Again sorry for the long winded post but I am thinking out loud which helps me plan things out.

Am I the only one that would love to see them put the joystick curve adjustments back into COD? Every model of joystick and rudders have their own sensitivity so having a set curve seems to be a drastic measure to try and keep people honest (not that I ever tried to make a curve to prevent stalls). For me just touching the rudder pedals causes a lot of movement. For the stick I could try using Target but because of the the rudders I might try the joystickcurves application using the vjoy. Since I use PPjoy already for Freespace all I would have to do is to switch over to it and then make the changes to the COD config file to use the Vjoy for those axes that I want a curve changed. Suppose to work. So if it does then taking it out really didn't help much for the reason they stated and only made it a bit more painful to those that really need it. As a newbie I might be off on this but adjusting the curves in IL-2 1946 has helped a lot with rudders and stick.

As much as I love my out of state grandkids and summer time I do look forward into getting back into flying this fall (well for me crashing ) I am going to start to work on an extension for my Warthog to see if it will help with my wrist. If that will not totally solve it I will try the spring mod.

So who here backed this Kickstart project? If so which planes do you plan on picking first?

Oh that is good to hear... I thought it was that I had gone to totally sucking not to be able to get a plane off the ground. When I get back into this I will have to take the wind into the equation. Thanks

Well it looks as if they are leaning on letting you pick two planes at $40 backing level so that is not too bad. Hopefully it stays that way

I am in the process of gathering the parts to make an extension for my Warthog. Hoping it will help with my wrist problem. Might try a center position if I can figure a quick way to move it to the side when I am racing. Thanks for all the replies

Do you have your joystick in the center or off to one side? What advantages do you see for center mount?

Another great video done by a group. For COD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6u4JxgE2S4&list=LLdxUvwTah931i1ZP4O4Mcow
