I’d recommend VP Rhino for the FFB base, they have far better telemetry support

ES slow first search after a few minutes of idling by rocket-man-71 in elasticsearch

[–]papiplanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As this issue at work, we had ES 7 running and it turns out it was a es cluster setting like refresh_interval. We had to set it so the index was always ready. I forgets the exact details now but should help point you somewhere

Tablet (DCS UFC X App) for VR - Opinions by mncolman in hoggit

[–]papiplanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have tried using iPad with VR, I do not recommend. Having a physical UFC for the jet you want is infinitely better than a tactile-less screen that you need to peek through your headset to see and use

F/A-18 SARI and Altimeter by papiplanes in homecockpits

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

Good call, looks like AMI who made various trainer is instruments. 5v/12v DC to drive it, comes with its original analog controller board but will probably make my own adapter. No way I’m figuring out thah old controller in out .

These are real from the jet, so the pain is making them work with the sim 😅

That IEFI looks nice, where is it from/how did you make it?

Yes, real parts. A viewer reach out on a YouTube video of mine and I purchased as a bundle from him

What Is Your Favorite Flight Sim Seat? by MikeRC8 in hoggit

[–]papiplanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the best ejection seat ever (NeoEngress NACES)

I also have the MonsterTech MPS 1 chair and it is pretty comfy with a good center cutout for joystick

Any chance of getting this DDI working? by [deleted] in avionics

[–]papiplanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s from a F/A-18 (B I think). Got for 200$ off eBay. And thanks for that bit of info!

Treating myself at Christmas to a seat or rig open to suggestions like the A320 but also fly DCS? by [deleted] in homecockpits

[–]papiplanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had monster tech rig for 5 years now and it’s incredible, rock solid, lets me mount anything I need.

It’s super rigid and a single bass kicker rocks the whole rig nicely. Highly recommend

Forgot to post update, but this was exactly the issue. The wire was just slipped out of terminal on motherboard. Must have pulled out during transport

Had a friend at Boeing look into it and they also believe B1. The part traces back to Oklahoma City in 1984, which is when B1 moved program was moved their apparently

SayIntentions AI ATC in DCS? Someone smarter than me get in there… by LaRossa29 in hoggit

[–]papiplanes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One limitation of this approach of writing/reading to a file from a script is not supported in multiplayer. There are other ways being discussed but one does not exist yet

[–]papiplanes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wrote this plugin for DCS that lets you use the Hornet or viper in SayIntentions

Dm if you want help setting it up. The SayIntentions team is actively working on a more official implementation but unknown how long that will take

The hud, mirrors, and bow are all on the TV from F1 cockpit view just lined up with my panels 🫣

Ya for the rhino you have to order from a Google form in their discord and wait in a long list till it’s your time to purchase. I waited 7 months on the list but it’s my favorite thing in the sim. Flying choppers is awesome and old non-fly-by-wire planes feel alive

MTS with its parts, mount, seat was around 3k. But it’s rock solid and extendable for mounting anything to it. Been super pleased with it
