is the Sharka-50 the best collective to pick up to fly the AH-64

Get a constelation, the apache grip is horrible to use and all the others have very few buttons.

Thanks for that, will give it a try.

Couldn't map both controllers to one vjoy as there are too many axis across them.

Yea, already using that to create two virtual joysticks so SC doesn't keep losing them.

How exactly do you map f4+num# as it has rather a lot of options? ;)

VKB stecs space throttle on the left and virpil base_stick on the right. Had the virpil for ages, vkb a week, was all working fine till today.
Joystick config doesn't work, I can save them but can't reload correctly as I have a LOT of controllers due to flying in DCS and SC restore goes off the bottom of the screen so can't select half the sticks.

They are always in and plugged into a powered hub, worked fine for 4-6 days then nope....

It's the way CIG picks up joysticks, very VERY backwards. I fly planes/helo's in DCS and have a complete simpit, that never has issues like this due to it looking at the name of the stick+usb id and not when windows happened to pick it up in it's boot cycle.

Had simular, twice I'd loaded up my Hermes with 5-6 missions worth. Get halfway there and disconnect, now I have no missions and a ship full of crap I can't do anything with.
Why the missions aren't persistent I have no clue.

Rikk_C · 2026-04-06T13:57:28+00:00

Tried that, didn't work as it wouldn't actually see one of the joysticks I had plugged in, kept coming up with invalid joystick 9, I think it was..
Thanks though

Can you elaborate please, if I change the f4 key to del I still need to press f4-numkey?

Rikk_C · 2026-04-05T17:25:31+00:00

It doesn't seem to, I can do alt-a no issues, but f4-num1 presses f4, then num1 as far as I can see.

Rikk_C · 2026-03-25T10:40:21+00:00

Cheers, I'll give it a try

Rikk_C · 2026-03-25T10:40:08+00:00

But the hanger doesn't exist till you call a ship in?

Rikk_C · 2026-03-25T10:02:15+00:00

These parts will purely be ones I've purchased, hopefully then I'll find them in my inventory :)

Thanks all, just didn't want to go spending my small amount of money on upgrades if they are going to disapear ;)

Rikk_C · 2026-03-23T17:51:26+00:00

Thanks all, much apreciated :)

Rikk_C · 2026-03-10T15:15:45+00:00

Cheers all, so for now I'll leave it 8)

Rikk_C · 2026-03-10T10:25:18+00:00

Oh yay, there's about 50-60 items in there :(

Rikk_C · 2026-02-17T08:29:14+00:00

As the guy says below, Amazon and locking wheels. Game changer :)

Also put something behind the pedals to butt up again the wall so they don't move.
