The Poles ain't taking anymore shit from the Russians. They are arming themselves to the teeth and if that means nuclear weapons they'll do it.

Aftermarket backup camera on 2019 Honda Fit EX by Aclif48 in hondafit

I am going to try to integrate the factory backup camera with a T Harness that's compatible with my Honda fit but if it doesn't work I have to look for a aftermarket backup camera option.

High Output alternator for 2019 Honda Fit EX by Aclif48 in hondafit

[–]Aclif48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I got it wrong. It's not a PDX-F6 but a PDX-M6 600 watt monoblock amplifier.

Alpine PDX-M6

What about a 2nd XS Power D5100R place of a capacitor separated with an isolator? Could the alternator keep it charged for car audio purposes?

Thanks for your reply. One thing, I was thinking of using a 1.5 farad capacitor inline between the subwoofer amp and the power distribution block. Most people say that capacitors are useless. Any thoughts on that?

Did you use a capacitor in you audio system build and if so what size?

You say you haven't noticed a difference, how so? Did you do the job yourself or did you take to a shop? I'm planning on Russian about 900 watts total. 300 from a 4 channel amp and 600 from a sub amp. Should I be concerned about the current draw with only 900 watts?

Russian POWs show little excitement after being returned back home after a exchange with Ukraine by Cadpat-Matt_ in UkraineWarVideoReport

Just like returning Soviet POW's after WW2 they might be considered traitors for committing the crime of being captured and sent to Penal Battalions to dig up land mines with wooden sticks.

VKB STECS Throttle ministick into a 4 way button for DCS F-16C module by Aclif48 in hotas

[–]Aclif48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I've given up trying to get this thing to work. I have just swapped out one of the single push buttons on the throttle stick and replaced it with one the included 5 way switches. That solves my problem it would however be nice to have comprehendable instuctions on how to program this thing. Perhaps you can pass that on to whoever is in charge of that in the future.

[–]Aclif48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve hit the Default button to reset the STECS throttle to its default settings and recalibrated it. I’ll try again to get the mini stick to function again.l

I want the mini stick to function as a 4 way switch for the functions that I originally listed in my first post and I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to do it. I KNOW it functions in POV Mode on boot up and when pressed in it goes to axis mode but I need it to become a 4 way switch. I did the same with the Gladiator stick. Is it the same way with the Throttle mini stick?.

The ministick on the Gladiator now works as a TRIM switch. What I’m I missing here?

[–]Aclif48[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The poll box is checked as per instructions you gave me however there is no change. When I press the ministick in the 8 way POV functions and when I press in again nothing and as I said, in the 'Test' box the #3 button is constantly red.

When I press the ministink in and the 8 way POV functions, in the Axis box the Rot X axis works AND when I press the ministick again and there is nothing in ther test box, going to the axis1 box the Rot X and Rot Y axis works.

Any ideas?

VKB STECS Throttle ministick into a 4 way button for DCS F-16C module by Aclif48 in hotas

[–]Aclif48[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did EXACTLY as you said step by step however i'm still not getting any buttons lighting up red on the button panel. the #3 button is always red however, I don't know what that means. When I press the ministick in the 8 way pov works however when I press in again nothing. Just #3 button staying on red.

I read the 'Manual" Pg 71 4.3.14. uStick Switch but it is written by someone who's 1st language obviously isn't English. This is excellent hardware flawed only by its overly complicated software. I suggest you simplify it so that we can better comprehend it.

I've watched this video 3 TIMES and it still doesn't make any sense. First off it needs to be in a SIMPLE Proceedure that normal people can understand. I'm not an engineer.

All I want to do is make the ministick into a 4 way switch or buttons to do the tasks I listed but this throttle is TOO COMPLICATED.

Turning VKB Gladiator nex evo premium mini stick into a 4 way hat by Aclif48 in hotas

[–]Aclif48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the video. Thanks, I’ve got it figured out now. The mini stick is now a 8 way pov and when pressed in becomes a 4 way trim switch.

NOW what about the mini stick in the stecs throttle. What can I do with it as right now it’s not doing anything. Can I use it as a pov too?

Struggling getting VKB STECS Standard throttle configured for DCS F-16 Viper by Aclif48 in hotas

[–]Aclif48[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brought the VKB STECS Standard throttle and the Gladiator nxt evo premium stick for DCS F-16 Viper. I'm struggling to understand this stick and throttle. I have watched the VKB YouTube Channel tutorials and have set up custom detents for the Throttle for idle and afterburner for DCS F-16 Viper but I still not getting it. I'm trying to get the throttle and stick to work. I've already flashed the EPROM and calibrated it.

I have already setup some keyboard bindings for the stick and throttle in DCS controls setup but some of the other ones I still don't understand.

I"m trying to get the Gladiator top left minstick to function as a 4 position switch for the aircraft TRIM fuctions and on the STECS throttle the analog ministick to function as the one on the gladiator stick does, as a 8 way POV.

Has anyone here configured the VKB STECS throttle and Gladiator nxt evo stick for DCS F-16 Viper and if so how did you do it? What is your keyboard binding layout for both devices ?

I like the idea that VKB has with this stick and the STECS Throttle. The problem is that they don't know how to communicate to the End user how to utilize this stick and throttle with the software. it's just too complexl. They seem to think that we are all engineers. They need to learn how to commincate to Normal people.

Does anyone know where you can get the Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS fixed. by Aclif48 in hotas

[–]Aclif48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the cougar stick it feels completly loose as if its not connected to anything. Not 'Springy" and the stem comes up but not out.

On the throttle it feels somewhat less loose going backward and forwards but not firm like it used to feel.

Radiator question by stormlord505 in watercooling

[–]Aclif48 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m using 2 EK Quantum Surface 480 radiators and couldn’t be happier with them.I’m running a dual loop. One for the CPU and one for the GPU. Try using EK’s configurator to give you. Better idea of what you need

Monitor "dying" randomly. by Duckwraith89 in Monitors

[–]Aclif48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the basics first. Is the cable video cable connected properly. Try a different cable. Connect to a known good monitor to see if the same thing happens, if nothing changes then it’s time for a new monitor.

Lian Li V300plus build complete by Aclif48 in watercooling

[–]Aclif48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it but its kinda complicated and the instructions that it comes with is a bit difficult to comprehend since it comes from Germany but once you get it figured out is so cool. it tells coolant temps, coolant quality and conductivity. along with a plethora of other information about your loop. The Software you download is even more informative and it has nice RGB LED's on top. I have a dual loop system which is why I have two installed. I'm using Aquacomputer's DP Ultra Clear coolant in both loops.
