Friar

So after ordering a new stick that never turned up I ordered another one. Arrived this afternoon. Started setting up and as soon as i installed the drivers and plug them in I get this..... https://youtu.be/RuqAfqFfBts

Salute, So now I have another issue. My X52 (soon to be replaced so I am wondering if "it knows...") has stopped working in game. When I go into the key mappings and move the joy stick left and right the game sees it and assigns it. Same for the Throttle. However when I go in game, they do not work (no flaps or aileron movement, no stick movement in cockpit, no revs increase with throttle) The other buttons on the joystick I have mapped like close canopy and flaps do work, it seems to be just the two axis. I have checked that the game settings are set to joystick and not reverted for some warped reason back to mouse. I have checked the devices in the control panel and they all working as expected. Any ideas? regards Friar EDIT - RESOLVED - So I did what I think a few people were suggesting last night for the CH Peddles and deleted the devices.txt file. Everything seems to be working correctly now.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting Fen.

Thanks Delta. I have gone for CH Pedals and Logitech G X56. Eagerly awaiting the delivery.

Been learning about the history of this plane...

Well as there do not seem to be any Saitek ones around I have gone for it so will see how it goes when they turn up.

All sorted now - was due to me not having line of sight to the signal from the carrier (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing). Thanks to Fruitbat for acting as my Instructor in the back seat and putting me right. Thanks to @fruitbat and @DD_Fenrir for the session on Saturday evening.

Above - Fenrir doing what Fenrir does....

just checking out another video and it shows what I am seeing

No, I have watched Grim Reapers video for the T-45 and it clearly shows the TACAN symbol in the direction I need to fly (see attached) but when I try and do it I do not see the icon?

Salute I have had a look at the video Fruitbat posted about how to use the TACAN in the T-45 however I dont think it is working the same now? (unless I am doing it wrong, which is a high possibility) I wanted to navigate to the carrier which has a code of 74X STN. I plugged 74 into the TACAN box and switched on. The button to select X/Y does not seem tot work? I set the left display to TCAN but the display did not show the icon for the TACAN as demonstrated in the video, plus the heading seemed out? Is there any chance someone who knows about these things could try setting it up and tell me if there is an issue or it is me doing something wrong? Many thanks regards Friar

Salute I am thinking of replacing my Saitek X52 with a new setup (current pedals are old and not fully working, stick has some issues etc). I have been looking at CH Products as a possible decent value replacement. What do we think of CH Products as an alternative? I can pickup stick, throttle and pedals for £230? I am not going to Fruitbats level and going Virpil before anyone suggests!

It is so fen can put it on the server for Sid - I may fly it but have downloaded it just to help Sid.

I have now downloaded the Bronco.

Might fire DCS up this afternoon (Friday) if nothing is doing work wise and have another look...

ok, can i have a link and a reminder of how to install it please.

Hello DangerDogz DCSers I posted a question over on the DCS forum that has 78 views (so I am perhaps not the only one wondering about this) but without a reply. Can you chaps think of any other channels I could approach to see if it is possible?

Salute How do I get ride of the below please?

Ok, I give in the answer was 153714

In this time of Peace and Goodwill to all men, my mind turns to when will the next round of North Africa be! Does the 29th January work for you guys? Anyone CANNOT make that date please let me know. I originally suggested 8th or 15th but Deacon has said their guys have some travel and family commitments. Friar

oh, good guess from @wingflyr. If I was to mark it like in the game and I say x=right number wrong place and o=right number right place and ?=number not included. I would give you xo?oxx

Just like the old game of "MasterMind" (guess the code sequence of coloured pegs) 1 right, right position. And too high, I will give this type of clue for a bit to give you all a chance
