For front seat flying I just have a toggle switch as a modifier that maps with the flight controls.

DYeah same here
I use the apu switch on the warthog for thst

DWaiting on Total Controls MPDs
VDo want, although cougars work ok-ish
DIf i ever get that far i think ill end up having to research how to make apps for android and just get myself a big tablet or two, three perhaps
Actually four? I dont think they have ultra wide touch monitors
And make an app that just creates the interface automatically depending on which airplane and such

DThats also my problem with the idea of building a complete multi-fit home pit
VI think Helios still works? I used it before I got VR
DWhats that?

DOooh but thats just for the apache, or for all modules?
VYou can make your own or download user profiles
DOooo
VBack when I used it there was just A10, Ka50 and BMS F16 visuals
DThats pretty cool
VBut that was many years ago
DIll give it a look
I mean im nowhere near able to make anything for at home yet
But ill give it a thought

VCertainly worth it if you find a cheap touchscreen somewhere
VAnd you're not planning to do VR
K@sko2408MCG Pro + 200mm extension. 50+50 was the max spring weight I could get.
I know that you're not supposed to use the use an extension with the VPforce.
How would the "throw" difference compare. I like how with the extension I can really throw the stick around and it actually has enough deflection to run into my legs like in a real aircraft.

Fwith extensions, you have to counter unrealistic, wider throw angles with lower axis saturation in DCS. i usually try to match the stick movement with the virtual stick in the cockpit.
VProtip, fly the huey, most joysticks can't match that throw
JThis is why the Virpil gimbal has a short throw
J(not the warbird)
JWith a 200mm extension it works out to like 4.5" of throw IIRC, I did the math out to try to make sure it was somewhat close to the jet when I was designing the setup
Fah alright, i only know the warbrd...
Fwell, with a FFB base you can configure it into nearly anything
JYeah that's one of the less flashy features I'm very excited about
Fyou can even set damping and friction to your liking and so on 
JHonestly the biggest thing I'm excited about is being able to go between helicopter and jet mode without doing a bunch of setup
JBecause right now I have everything setup with a printed cage and hydraulic dampers to hold the stick in place like a cyclic
Fyeah, i also like switching modules on the fly. the rhino does it by itself
JBut it means I lose centering force and need to reconfigure it all if I want to fly fixed wing... and that's not even getting into the cams
Fit's a nobrainer with a FFB stick
Pthat's what I'm most excited about with the Rhino - going from flying helicopters to space sim at the twist of a knob
TPossibly a weird question: what would the software support be like on linux? What programs are required to run the rhino on windows, a custom driver or some standard FFB driver? Is the configuration GUI built using some windows libraries or something like QT? Is the communication with the rhino documented so I could write my own configuration software if needed. I'm really tempted to order one, but would like some indication of how much work it would be to make it work for a sadist linux gamer like myself first.
DHow did you manage to run dcs on linux? 
DIm sure its more work than just using wine
TThese days it runs out of the box on wine
DOooo
T2 years ago or so when I started, it was a bit more painful, requiring some DLL overrides, modifying some DCS LUAs for some patches etc. I have spent more time than I'd like to imagine debugging it but anything to avoid windows

Instructions for running DCS World on linux. Mostly extracted from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1722 - GitHub - TheZoq2/dcs_on_linux: Instructions for running DCS World on linux. ...
TThat document is probably a bit out of date, not all steps are required anymore. The biggest remaining issues are some graphical glitches with smoke trails, some textures and such
TIt even runs in VR :)
DWhew! Now i only need to get good at making most pf my steam games run on linux and then i can finally make the switch forever
T
DAny idea what could be causing that?
DOr is that just the pain of building with windows dependencies 
TThe smoke trails seem to be related to tesselation, which I guess doesn't work the way DCS expects it to in wine. (The smoke trails are puffs at evenly spaced points rather than nice thick trails). The textures seem to be related to DCS using some encoding for some textures that isn't supported by wine. For most of the textures, you can open them up in gimp and just re-export them without changing anything.
The biggest problem is a similar bug on marianas which makes the ground pitch black. I think it might be related, but it seems like the textures for that map are compresed and/or encrypted so I haven't found a way to re-export them

DAh shit, maybe (however i doupt they'll care) we could bug them enough to fix that
But i doupt theyll care about just a few non-windows guys trying to play on whats simply just a better system than broken-windows
