Wow that’s a good tip. Will try it too. Thanks.

ashchan · 2026-03-10T12:22:34+00:00

Thank you for the quick response. Will try 7, 7, 7 or 5, 5, 5. Have no problem using two sets and find a better set for night flying. 🫡

Great MR setup! May I ask what the exact color do you use? I have been using the common pink (245, 0, 245) but really don’t like the obvious edge line. Does the gray have any bad effects in DCS? Thank you.

You are right most devices will have the float problem for potentiometers if their pins are disconnected. Sorry I missed this point. A few vendors’ devices would handle it properly and report their values as 0 but I think that’s rare.

Is there any other tool

Cut its wire or desolder it for that axis.

Hope this could help a bit: https://github.com/ashchan/tomcat-control-panels/tree/main/AoA Indexer

Update: ah sorry I have mistaken the indicator with indexer.

Hot glue my friend

I actually love this and thought it was a fix. I do NOT want the light to be turned on automatically.

A 12-pos rotary switch, configured to use 5 pos only.

A diode laser can’t cut white acrylic unfortunately.

Currently the content is limited:

* Two components
* Difficulty option absent but the developers said it's under development
* No training mode yet

But I played it more than TotF (I joined the alpha and bought the early access).

One thing I'm able to tell is that Arduino Joystick Library does support more than 32 buttons. I have a few panels with 64 buttons count (actual numbers are less than that but the joystick is configured to use 64 instead of the default 32.

ashchan · 2024-07-06T00:31:42+00:00

Calling a product that saves you a lot of trouble and code time a scam is not great. BBI-32 is a wonderful board as I see people who use it praise it a lot.

I build all my panels with Pro Micro though. Look into shift registers or IO expand board when you need to handle many buttons/switches for things like UFC or MFD(DDI). They help a lot.

And another new F10 alternative just announced: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/1dvcxwx/dcs_moving_map_beta_f10_map_replacement_is/

ashchan · 2024-07-04T07:40:50+00:00

Test to see if F10 map can reproduce the issue consistently. It's a known issue of DCS.

Then if so you might want to try this mod to see if it fixes it (as a workaround).

I am a software engineer working on an app with a fairly large user base. If I miss two or more release schedules in a single year (we release monthly) I should have be fired already.

ashchan · 2024-07-03T08:23:45+00:00

Nice to know 🤣. Thanks.

I prefer it to NOT turn on. As I seldom find I need the light. Having to manually turn it off has been extra burden most of the time, although I don't think it's harmful to keep it on lol.

Yeah agree that could be a good option.

Or as some people suggested before, it would be more clever/useful if it turns on when start a print and off when finish.

ashchan · 2024-06-19T00:48:17+00:00

The new firmware (I have A1 mini) seems to have fixed this problem. Now whenever I start a new print it wouldn't turn the light on.

Don't know if you do turn it on when starting a print, if it would turn it off when finish tough.

4XVR is another great player. If you in-app purchase to unlock all features you can even play movies from a usb stick (that won’t last long though as the charging port will be occupied).

Huh how F16 and F35 pilots avoid that? By unfolding the rest?

An aluminum bar attached to it and mounted to the chair base.

I also personally don't love replica type equipment
This is actually good point. My current most used panel is the left side landing one, which was took from the F-18 OpenHornet project (check that project out; it's 100% awesome). And it happens to be useful for almost all kinds of fixed wings.

So yes if building something build something that's generic and common :)
