@msboi1218 I see you are using the logitech rudder pedals with your sim. Does that work ok, and is that plug and play? Im just getting started in dcs and need input where i can find it.

@msboi1218 23 күн бұрын

Yes indeed! The Logitech pedals work ok, I had to use some different bolts to mount it to the sim seat though. Everything is plug and play for the most part. The F18 specific panels from winning Automatically map most of the functions but you can always change them if need be. The only thing thats a little more difficult is getting the screens with the Top Gun MIPs to play with DCS. You just basically use them as external monitors and the software configures the rest. you have options for which plane you're flying too. They're pretty dim out of the box but you can boost the brightness doing some tricks with Reshade. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

PLEASE READ! I was planning on getting the WinWing TOP GUN MIPS set, but I am concerned about whether it will work with the F-16 and/or other aircraft in DCS World. Any info would be extremely helpful & appreciated I'm getting ready to get a gaming chair cockpit. I'm talking like the kind with the leather recliner, massage chair that reclines to 170 degrees, the monitor arm is independently controlled so it can be raised, lowered, forward & backward. I'm putting a 49" Ultrawide Curved monitor too. I also pre-ordered a Meta Quest 3 (I sold my Quest 2 & Quest Pro which more than covered the cost of it). Should I get WinWing HOTAS, Vipril or the new Thrust Master?

@msboi1218 8 ай бұрын

I think price to performance wise, you would be better off going with the winwing hotas. My buddy has the 16 Stick/throttle combo and he loves it. The Top gun mips WILL work with the F16. in Winwing's software, you can choose which plane you are flying so the mfds display correctly.

@msboi1218 8 ай бұрын

If you want, I can send you a screenshot later today of what the software looks like with the F-16 selected for the mips!

If you don’t mind, could you tell me what the largest width is required for the print files? I have a Bambu labs x1C, but the bed is only 250x250.

@msboi1218 4 ай бұрын

Yeah you need a LOT of bed space. I used an ender 3 s1 plus, I think it’s 300x300x300. It just barely fits the left and right dash visors

@CrashEd1664 2 ай бұрын

I’ve also got an X1C, real shame it won’t fit. Also, HornetSimShop’s prices have gone up a lot since this video went out 😢

@msboi1218 2 ай бұрын

yeah they have, but I know a lot of it was because people were buying his STL files and then reselling them on different sites. Which is a bummer because he puts a LOT of time and effort into his design process.

I do have a trackIR 5 and a Tobii eye tracker for when I don't do VR with the index. I just couldn't find either of them for a while so I had been using the trim hat on the stick to look around lol
