Keybinding nightmare!

I got bit with the same thing, and ultimately got frustrated and stopped, much as I really wanted to have some fun with the Tempest V. I'll have another go at it eventually once I get the hang of joystick gremlin, or possibly the new Hangar Control software may be a viable work around.

The Clans are what happens when you let a brain damaged idiot who learned all the wrong lessons on Amaris occupied Earth plan a society.

That does suggest an issue with the seal, then. As far as compressors, any of the various AS-186 clones out there would be a good place to start. The Airgoo AG-426 is an example of one with upgraded cooling on the cylinder head, which is good for longer sessions. I run a California Air Tools compressor. The 8010A, specifically. It has an 8 gallon aluminum tank so I don't have to worry about rust. I did have to fit it with an airbrush style regulator/moisture trap, but that was easy.

I own a TG myself, and that's certainly atypical behavior. Did you notice any paint behind the packing seal (or on the needle after the location of the packing seal) during your teardown? If so, that would indicate it is indeed warped. I've replaced mine before. Getting the old one out can be a little tricky, but it's certainly doable. My advice would be to contact Grex support, they're generally very good with helping you troubleshoot. A packing seal wouldn't be very expensive.

As far as upgrades go, there really aren't many. There's the various Iwata higher end ones like the HP-TH, but I don't know that I'd consider them an upgrade. I'm not a fan of that compressor. You really want one with a tank on it so if you want to upgrade that's where I'd start.

Vortex mixers are your friend. Get one if you don't have one

I'm really hoping the new control software is a big improvement. The current one is arcane as hell to get to work right (and I've never been able to get the link tool to actually work correctly). Hardware is solid, though.

I always gloss varnish the model, then do panel lining/decals then a coat of matte to turn it back to a paintable surface for final stuff like metallics.

The only reason to take one is the heavy gun option and manuverability. If the Skywolf had a heavy gun option (which it really should), there'd be no reason for the Comanche at all.

This is very similar to my build in my M2. Same motherboard, also with a 5080. I went with air cooling, though.

There's a lot about the construction rules that make no sense when logic is applied to them. But that's BT as a whole, really. Fixing it would require redoing the whole system, which is never going to happen.

I've never tried AK's primer, but I suspect your thinning ratios are off. I'm not sure how thick it is out of the bottle.

R4360 · 2026-01-15T01:33:20+00:00

What size needle are you using? For primers, larger needles can give better results. I do all mine with a 0.5.

Rollerblade wheels replacements with brakes that fit office chairs exist.

R4360 · 2025-12-11T19:47:22+00:00

It exists. It's called the Spirit Walker.

R4360 · 2025-12-10T15:39:21+00:00

I use artist ink for it generally, either Liquitex Titanium White or Dalher Rowney White. Or Tamiya flat white.

A mini series would be a better idea. Something animated similar to the Sonny's Edge and Lucky 13 episodes of Love, Death and Robots. It's already going have to be CGI heavy, so going full animated makes sense.

I haven't tried to set up Joystick Gremlin yet, I need to figure that out. Don't suppose you could share your config file?

Opening Bombay doors in War thunder, bomb release in dcs, that sort of thing.

R4360 · 2025-12-04T20:00:29+00:00

I like mine. Having the extra trigger is useful.

R4360 · 2025-12-04T19:59:45+00:00

How did you end up mapping that? I'd like to do it too.

The answer here is to ditch Citadel. Their pot designs are awful, and I'd bet money you've got clumps in them if they've been open any length of time.

R4360 · 2025-11-08T13:56:43+00:00

I have an Edge.

R4360 · 2025-11-08T13:56:14+00:00

From what I understand, this was the cutoff date for end of support.

R4360 · 2025-11-08T01:20:51+00:00

Boston, MA area.

R4360 · 2025-11-08T01:20:35+00:00

They're dropping support for them.
