... i had to remove the dust cover and slide the grip mount down in order to plug the cables into the connector. If anyone is going to rotate their connector too, I recommend you start with this. Or ask walmis to do it for you during assembly, if possible.
I honestly think nvidia has been stock piling these for a few months so wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a shortage.
Now they'll dripfeed stores to keep prices from falling but I suspect they have stockpiled them in advance, at least in the US to avoid future tariffs.
Not a conspiracy, just business, when a future president has been shouting about implementing a day 1 tariff of 20%+ for the last six months maybe he means it.
While I am eagerly awaiting the invoice (not pushing here), is there any newbie guide or video out there telling how the base would work with DCS et al?
It almost is plug&play. Basically get the VPForce configurator, TelemFFB (optional) and set them up. Check mark force feedback in DCS, set up instant trim for every module in the special settings and you are good.
TelemFFB is optional, but I definitely recommend it, although its all a but overwhelming at first, evn now with adding FFB pedals I am overwhelmed lol.
