    Pretty sure I have that drawn up in CAD already!

    It is possible to print an adapter similar to that and have it transition to whatever diameter shaft is required, or even into the screw type connector the X55/56 and warthogs use.

    I can even machine it out of delrin or aluminum with my CNC.

    I grafted an X55 stick onto my MSFFB2 and it worked really well, there was space inside the MSFFB2 base to keep the X55 controlboard, so I was able to carve a hole and pass the USB cable for it out alongside the MSFFB2 USB cable.

    There may be photos of how I did it on here somewhere!

    On the shelf currently until I finish moving my office around:

    I have the X55 and it is good, the X56 is reportedly better quality, and has a thumb stick on the main stick too.
    X55 did have cable issues, they can break after long usage (mine did) but I was able to take the throttle apart and rewire it.

    Split throttle is useful too for multi engine, or chopper flying in DCS.

    The software is pretty good, and easy to program for those that want more from their button presses too, especially with 3 modes.

    For those that are adventurous I have a mod that can be 3D printed to mount the X55/6 stick on a MSFFB2 base too.

    Country Flag

    Hi all,

    After the recent upgrade some users have the wrong flag for their country (seems to default to the UK).

    This is due to geoid location failing.

    Easy to change though:

    Click 'Account Settings' and then 'Country':

    You will see a drop down to select country:

    I totally forgot to check on ISP service for this new house, I never dreamed it didn't have broadband in this subdivision.

    It's been here since 1965ish not even cable tv made it here.

    but a 1/4 mile away in a newer subdivision built in the 80's has it all, and we're closer to the city limits than they are.

    When we bought our house last year I asked Spectrum/Charter if they could provide service. They said they would send out a surveyor to confirm, came back and yep no problem.

    Moved in and then was told no service, team lead for engineers came through, dropped a 400' cable and got us 1Gb internet.

    Alternative was satellite, AT&T can only provide 74Kb lol. Dark ages!

    @Hello Rog!  Hope you and your family have a great christmas mate:salute:

    @FT; would we need to buy another copy of the game to run a second server?  I see that the GBS series is on sale again and that BoS standard edition can be picked up for a princely $12.49:)

    I think I could just about afford to buy the server a christmas present at those prices!

    Cheers Arthur, and same to you (and everyone else)!

    Hmmm sale time, I have some $$ left in Christmas kitty...

    I have added a couple of M.2 SSDs each in a PCI adapter, the NVME are the best but all are significantly faster than the SATA 6Gbs drives.

    And yes you can boot from them.

    Review carefully the read/write speeds and compare them, note: You will need a PCIE V3 or later for some to get full benefit.

    I may not understand the issue and proposed solution(s).

    But our server has a ton of horse power and should be able to cope easily with the load?

    Is it that console/gui access is required?
    I for one do not have any issue with others having that access, provided suitable training is given on what not to do of course!

    Apologies for tardy response, work has been utterly crazy (102 hour week is my record and 25 days without a break including working on vacation!).

    I am now off until January 2nd though :)

    Is TS still down?

     

    Will I need new addresses to connect to the new servers?

     

    Thanks for all your effort for the new server.

    TS is now back up, apologies had a RL issue to deal with last night (all good no in RL).

    Hopefully I actually did it right, and you all retained your permissions!

    Move is now complete.

    Hi all.

    Finally got the time to build replacement web server, the current one is on it last legs from a hardware perspective, and as I type our data is being copied across.

    I will be taking the site off line briefly to make the old site talk to the new servers database, this will minimize downtime whilst DNS updates to the new IP.

    Teamspeak: I will have to take that off-line briefly too, and do a redirect to it whilst DNS updates.
    So this means we are all moving to Germany briefly, as TS will see source IP from old server...

    I aim to complete this today, to beat the billing cycle deadline for the old server.

    Dogfight server will be unaffected!
