Crash Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I like toys. I would recommend Andrés Jet Seat. It is a bit expensive but works very well with DCS and Il-2. You can feel the gear come up, the airframe shake as you approach stall and the rumble of the engines to name a few effects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 First issue with kit content, missing Cat 6 connector, was going to leave the flight stick until last, but will leave flaps not and do the hardest one, part one of three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted December 29, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted December 29, 2021 Who is going to tell Bob we are dropping the Spitfire..... @Bob looking good Sir! Indeed with the wiring maps, just ask FT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Thanks Friar, stick gas been difficult to say the least, nearly there, biggest problem is the build video has been updated so many times that it is now difficult to follow, one minute the wires are blue, the next yellow, aaaaarrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh!

Me thinks you can easily solve that by connecting the blue to the yellow, so they will become one entity, and that will stop any confusion. Come to think of it, that way you can connect all wires to each other, and that way you will end up having only one wire! That means there's no more relevance to what color the wire is! It's so simple! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will I still as bad at landing as I have always been? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've given it some more thought, and to avoid all wiring problems, I'd advise you to go wireless...

Bob Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Well, the flight stick was made difficult by the tutorial video. In hindsight should have watched at least 3 times, made notes of all the changes that came up in the update text windows, watched 3 more times and then followed the video! Shame about the missing connector, flaps will have to wait. As they are primarily associated with landing, not really required. don’t think I can bring myself to plug them in, shorted wired crossed connections, where the alcohol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
