@@REALSIMPILOT777 I’m afraid I’m not affiliated with Winwing in any way. This is just a video I shared from the flight sim expo. You might have more luck on their RUclips page: @WINWING-SIMULATOR

Something I have thought about. Thanks for the feedback. Out of curiosity, did you feel that about every portion of the show or just certain segments?

@@stewmanji The delay on the DCS update was something new to me.

Given that they were the only combat-oriented flight sim developer to show up and discuss their game, I'm willing to give them a ton of latitude. As someone hoping to see that side of the expo continue to expand, I'm thankful that Combat Pilot put themselves out there and engaged with the community. I definitely understand your point about the demo but for me it's almost irrelevant this early in the development process...but the relationship/community building is incredibly welcome in this niche market.

You're more than welcome! Thank you for the kind words and for your great content!

@@stewmanji Anything you need in the future just give me a shout. Any vox pops or anything like that, me or one of the discord boys and girls will happily give you our time.

Jabbers posted a quick video on Twitter which shows the base mounted on a Foxx or Monstertech mount: x.com/imjabbers/status/1807230306153599086 That said, @BluGames has a nice "first look" video that shows the full mounting pattern of the base which looks to have a ton of compatibility for various sim-rigs (5:03 mark): ruclips.net/video/SsZKy_dkMl4/видео.htmlsi=-mbr4YvU9jR0sRdj&t=303

Happy to spread the word! Thank you for developing such a great addition to DCS for the community!

You're more than welcome! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Best wishes to you and the team with your development process. I'll be sure to keep talking about the game here and I can't wait to play it one day!

Yeah, the "free plugin" was a great find by that other community member...options are always nice! And I haven't had the chance to fly the BSD serer yet but I'm really looking forward to it. I need to get back to flying helos in DCS more often and with the OH-58 and CH-47 releasing, the time is right. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I hope you continue to enjoy the show!

Great question. I would think they might end up building a full cockpit for both the Boeing and Airbus lines, ala what they've done with the F-18 so I wouldn't be surprised. It's really impressive how much hardware they're putting out this year.

You're more than welcome Jon! I really enjoyed the presentation and was thrilled you made it to the Expo. I already convinced my better half to travel up to Providence with me next year. Can't wait!

I did not! Thank you very much for letting me know. That’s now fixed.

i'm using my hotas setup for almost 2 years now and the only thing that happened was a broken switch for which they quickly sent me a replacement

It is curious that MSFS 2020 wasn't mentioned in the development plans for "Camera Boost." Per an article on fselite.net the developer said they are looking forward to announcing more titles that the feature will be compatible with "soon." You would have to think MSFS 2020 is one of those, but we'll have to wait and see.

You're more than welcome! I'm glad people have found the clips useful. It was a great show this year and here's hoping the military side of the show continues to grow. I enjoy your channel's content, btw. Keep up the great work!

Right?!? The nostalgia was real right away. So glad someone else appreciates that series (and it's incredible levels of frustration, hahaha). Totally agree about FFB...I too can't imagine not having my Rhino. What an absolute game changer it has been.

Per their website, it looks like you can enable it in the "Options Meu: COMMS, FOIP & Head Tracking" of Star Citizen. help.tobii.com/hc/en-us/articles/24508023042705-Camera-Boost-in-Star-Citizen

just have a look at the bubble on the screen taht buuble indicate <what are looking you eyes. It is fantastic

I've heard really positive things. Some folks seem to have a love/hate with the eye tracking functionality but I believe head tracking is pretty darn solid (especially with no requirement for any additional hardware on your head). Here's a very recent review from helisimmer.com: www.helisimmer.com/reviews/tobii-eye-tracker-5

I have them all, I love my tobii

I have it and it's really good. Give it a try!

Honestly its garbage compared to IR tracker. Complete night and day difference.

Really appreciate that feedback! I’ve been on the fence for a long time so this might be the “push” I needed. Thanks for listening and for commenting!

@@stewmanji it took a minute to get set up (easy but not what I’d call exactly intuitive, if you follow me). You WILL need to download OpenXR also(it’s free). But the first time I cranked it up and got in my F/A 18 pit, the first thing I did is I REACHED for a switch. Not moused. REACHED WITH MY HAND. Then after the DOH! Moment….well…..dude….you gotta get you one of those

I echo the Q3 recommendation. I had a Q2 for a couple years and almost hung it up. I just coukdnt get visuals I deemed worth the hassle until I got set up with a discord group dedicated to the Q2 and DCS. Gamechanger. I upgraded my laptop last fall making even the Q2 look so good I decided to step up th the Q3. I run everything maxed out and love it.

@@GaltAWG I've got the Q3 in my wish list now! Might have to take the plunge if we see a sale this summer or possibly this holiday season. Thanks for your thoughts and for listening to the show!

Moza AB9 entered the chat :) Seeing FFB pedals on the horizon now as well has me stoked. I've been wanting some since DCS Black Shark was released, because trimming without FFB is just a major pain in the plot. I had the MS Sidewinder FFB2 which I'm still using (which is why I want an affordable and available FFB base as well, I mean VPForce Rhino and Brunner CLS-E do exist...), but you still got to deal with the janky non-FFB trim solution or just disable trimming on pedal axis (used to run an Autohotkey from PeterP for ages until ED finally added an option for that). Getting an option for FFB pedals feels like heaven for any helo simmer...

I've had a cls60 on order for 6 weeks. Hope it comes soon. 😢

Agreed, they make good products. Did you not care for the design of their new PTO 2 panel? I thought it did a nice job of merging the original panels into one, but I could understand preferring the original panels instead.

Мне PTO2 не очень понравилось и тем более что у меня есть PTO1 и мне нужна панель PCR.

Great question. I was watching online via their digital pass so I can only speculate, but most of the "initial impressions" videos on RUclips from folks trying the game have been very positive. I've really enjoyed the demo on Steam so I think this is a game definitely heading in the right direction!

I was talking at a pretty fast pace, so it was hard for me to gauge personally the response, but I was told that people were paying pretty close attention and I did see a lot of folks take photos of the final slide with our links :) On the floor throughout the weekend, people were very positive in conversation. Go try our demo!

We’re gonna chalk it up to pure shock and amazement, hahaha. Definitely a more civilian flight sim oriented crowd though so I suppose it makes a bit of sense, but we needed the military flight sim fans in the room to make some noise!

Me too. Some folks on-site said they confirmed it was still in development, but sadly nothing official to share.

It's really turning into the golden age for flight sim hardware in a lot of ways. Force Feedback is going to be a game changer for so many.

Great to hear! I've got my eyes on one of their CDUs so I can use it with DCS. Pretty amazing prices for what they're offering.

I'm right there with you...I absolutely love my Rhino. As a former helo bubba, the force trim was the biggest thing I wanted and I haven't been disappointed. Seeing other vendors enter the space is incredibly cool and I hope they all push each other to develop even better products and innovate further. And totally agree about Thrustmaster...here we are and everyone's moving to Force Feedback and they only just realized they could make a customizable base. Maybe by 2030 they'll get in on this action. 🤣 In regards to the audience not reacting, my guess is that 95% of the crowd really didn't know what they were seeing as they fly with yokes or GA-specific gear. I've been shocked at how little crossover there seems to be between the two sides of the flight sim market (civilian vs military). Purely anecdotal, but even a lot of the major content creators who fly MSFS only dabble or never even try the likes of IL-2, DCS, BMS, etc. So, not sure if that explains all the silence, but it might go a long way. Thanks for your comment!

Me too! We've been waiting WAYYYY too long for WWII pacific theater carrier ops.

Good to know! I’ve always been tempted to try Tobii but my TrackIR setup is still holding up for now. Still 2D for me at the moment but VR is getting more and more tempting. Thanks for your comment!

Nope, you haven’t missed anything. All the manufacturers were light on details regarding release dates. The 737/Airbus stuff all mentioned 2025 but no date for the F-18 grip or Taurus force feedback base. Guess we’ll just have to stay tuned for more updates which hopefully won’t be too long of a wait.

Hahaha, truth! Next year I’ll do my part!

Yeah I noticed that too haha, very jarring

Force feedback anything 👍

There are decades of younger flight sim enthusiasts that have no idea what FFB can do because a sidewinder joystick has never been something they have experienced. Wish they would have spoken about the Super Taurus II throttle with auto throttle.

@@jakesixx2726 Couldn’t agree more…on both counts. Hopefully we’ll hear more from Winwing soon!

Yeah, that's a great suggestion. From a consumer standpoint, they would all the major vendors would would unify around one, standardized connection format. That's where Moza's base could be intriguing. They specifically mentioned aiming for compatibility with multiple base types so we'll see what they can do. The initial video footage of it from another content creator showed it working with the Thrustmaster F-18 grip so that's promising.

What happened? Did the patent expire?

@@maksciesielski3464 moza flight gear

​@@GW2Vids1yes. Finally

Has nothing to do with a patent! You know how many products have patents and still have companies that make the same shit to complete! It’s called companies have been lazy and over charging for none ffb stick because people were buying them lol. And if it had to do with a patent and it just expired companies wouldn’t already have ffb stick basically ready

There were actually 3, if you can believe it. Winwing, Moza, and Flitesim.com. You wonder how long it will be before VKB and Virpil join the race. Exciting times.

I can't wait to find out what the price is...should be a huge year for Winwing!

That almost certainly would increase the cost. Thrustmaster and Logitech are not even making most of the products they are releasing. I see no issues with the distribution model, but from what I hear it varies depending on where one lives.

@@corryGT Yeah, if you're lucky enough to live where they have a distribution center (EU, Canada, Australia, US, UK) then I think their model is working pretty well. We'll see how well they do shipping this many products to all those centers. Exciting times.
