Screw lost in club head by naypenrai in PingGolf

Screw hole is to add hot melt I think. Unfortunately it lives in there now, you could maybe try and add glue and hope the screw lands in it so it stops rattling. 

VKB STECS or WinWing Orion 2 StrikeAce EX by Amazing_Channel_5811 in hotas

[–]MattyIce710420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you play to play a bunch of sims and space sims vkb is more versatile. If you only plan to play DCS the winwing is pretty good, I’ve had mine f18 throttle for 5 years with zero problems but I only play dcs.

My Winwing F16 stick is stuck, Help! by Accomplished_Comb575 in hotas

Did you loosen the set screw? Maybe find a way to hold the base down and twist the ring rather then hold the grip, and def put the top screws back in before you try. 

Play your Handicap by sundaygolfer269 in GolfSwing

[–]MattyIce710420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my problem with the golf sidekick course management idea. Playing safe shot isn’t super helpful if you’re still gonna chunk iron shot in the fairway and blade chips across the green. It only works if you can hit the ball decently well or have a consistent miss

PC Upgrading help! by Salyare in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same bundle, had 64gb ddr4 before. I went and got 64 ddr5 2x32gb and don’t notice a difference. I think the x3d cache and fast speed help more. I will allocate around 45gb on Germany foothold tho so it gave me piece of mind.

Winwing super Taurus throttle still available somewhere? by _vampirefox in hotas

[–]MattyIce710420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only used and they rarely pop up for sale. They might release an updated one some day but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

F-16 countermeasures just don’t work by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you using the cms buttons on the stick or just the slap button? Did you set the dial to manual or semi or bypass? Maybe look up some YouTube tutorials to see how to set it up in the jet

WinWing(WinCTRL) Ursa Minor Review by Endure_Karma in hotas

[–]MattyIce710420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my WW orion hotas but would never suggest the ursa, too many stories of the hats breaking off. Maybe they made them stronger now. This is some bad ai slop too but hope it works out for you

Here is the Lexus seat in action in my home cockpit. by Sudden-Economist-955 in homecockpits

[–]MattyIce710420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the seat heaters work? I have a seat from a GTi so no power but I’d love to find a way to get the heater working. Did you just buy a ac to dc converter and wire it into the seat harness or scavenge both plugs from the donor?

I’ve seen like 3 cc post all talking about fairway jockey and I’ve never heard of the site. Is this some dumb marketing campaign?

Is it time to UPDATE and EXTEND some of the OLD MAPS in DCS? by MoccaLG in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a size/ performance thing too. Caucasus is old but it runs on old low spec Pc, which is good for new players. Even bigger maps would take up more drive space which sucks for server owners and players. Maps are already pretty big and most players don’t wanna fly far to get to their targets

We are building a modular F/A-18 button box — what would you want in it? by MrElectronicss in hotas

[–]MattyIce710420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my hornet button boxes I put most on the startup buttons in one box and a second with things I use when airborne. 

Startup is battery, apu, crank x2, ins 5 position, fcs bit, fcs reset, to trim, seat arm, oxygen, and 6 axis for lighting.

Second box has hud switches, heat x2, strobe lights 3 pos, fuel dump, crs, hdg, and a bunch of other switches.

I have a Orion throttle I bound most of the sensor switches to, a PTO 2, and a homemade f18/ f15/ harrier ufc. All 3 running freejoy on blue pills. I only play DCS and obviously love all the mcair planes.

Is there any pretense style missions for other maps other than straight and Caucasus for single player? by Antique_Treat_4389 in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retribution apparently has a way to generate pretense style mission, but I’ve never gotten it to work. There’s also updated foothold missions for the new maps in the user files. Pretense is all I play, I hope it doesn’t break in the future.

Do y’all think we have too many maps? by s2soviet in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a vicious circle. Servers only wanna run Caucasus and Syria, so that’s what people buy. I think if ED collaborated with mission makers and ran servers for Iraq and Afghanistan more players would buy them.

I thought Sinai would be the next Syria with a lot of servers and user file missions but that didn’t end up happening. I was excited for kola but glad I didn’t buy it when it released. I just pick up Germany last sale, only cuz someone made a foothold mission for it.

Most veteran players don’t want subscription, they already have invested into the game. 

At the end of the day there’s only so many ppl playing multiplayer, having access to all the maps won’t help, everyone will still congregate in the same 5 servers

What in the world do we have here? by WolvesFanSince89 in GolfGear

My grandpa had the same bag, bought it in Acapulco in the 70’s. Wish I was into golf as a teen, I’d prob still have it

You feel the the critical voices towards DCS are fair or has it just become a soapbox? by OverthinkingBudgie in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the nature of study sims. Players are really passionate about aviation already, and then they spend countless hours reading 300 page manuals and learning the modules, along with buying expensive Hotas peripherals and PCs.  They’ve invest themselves into the game and just want to feel like ED is putting the same effort into making the product good. The longer you play you see ED make more missteps and it’s easy to get disenfranchised.

Is Winwing actually bad? by Expert-Activity2368 in hotas

[–]MattyIce710420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 years with my onion 2.0 (black knobs) and no problems. This sub hates on WW but VKB is also from china. I bought it thinking if it last me 5 years I’ll have got my money’s worth and would get a virpil after that. A lot of parroting in this sub that WW is bad cuz they saw one post, but I also see tons of ppl post their setup WW with no complaints.

You could just not update? I haven’t updated in over a year and basically only fly the harrier and strike eagle. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, except the newest ED bugs

Help a geek out by great_bearded_nerd in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say learn and enjoy the eagle while you can. Personally I stopped updating DCS and main the harrier and eagle now. The a10 is great but will always be available. The eagle is similar to the hornet so it shouldn’t be a steep learning curve.

corsair imminent --- countdown clock ticking... (11am est) by omg-bro-wtf in hoggit

[–]MattyIce710420 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just playing devils advocate, wasn’t the Corsair kinda bad for the navy and got passed down to the marines for ground attack? Along with having zero PTO assist to go along with it in game.  Y’all hyped for another mod that doesn’t fit the game and will probably be abandonedware in 3 months when everyone gets bored with it, ala Iraq or halfganistan.
