My crap DCS Thread

Right? lol

Lol

Tu-160's attacking Las Vegas... Why would you get in their way?

For you guys that have a TrackIR and also use the Track Clip Pro, when the clip breaks use Sugru to fix it. It's a moldable glue that turns to rubber when it dries and so far the fix for my Clip has been great.

DCS Free to play event - try any (ie all of the modules) for free for 2 weeks for each module, over a period of 6 months. Once that 6 months is up, you can restart for another 6 months. This should allow every DCS player to try every module they don't own. Pretty slick deal, I bet they capture a LOT of new sales from this. Hope it works out for ED.

The trim indicator thingie I was looking for a while back? Finally found it.

RCNTRL + Enter and Bob's Your Uncle. Again.

Heh, I had several of the Track Clip pros break myself. I spoke to Natural Point on the phone, the guy there told me that they had a large shipment freeze during shipping, and the material did NOT react well to this, making them very brittle. They didn't know about this until after they starting selling them and getting a huge number of returns, at least that's what he said when I asked why the efff they decided to let them get into the market in that condition. Anyhow, I had one break just from me picking it up off the top of my pc and gently bumping it against the side of the monitor beside that tower. "Ting", snap, break. Ridiculous.

Anyhow, I'll try some of that stuff myself, I'd bought a few aftermarket battery powered track clip replacements from Delanclip, but it'd be nice to fix the originals that have fractured.

When I realized the new one was broken in the package I wondered why they are using what looks to be ABS plastic instead of Delrin. Delrin shouldn't be as brittle as ABS and it should be more resilient to repeated locking/unlocking.

I also did a Google search on this and found out the locking mechanism is VERY brittle and that this is a huge problem. I saw comments like, "if the locking mechanism isn't broke it will be", "use black tape", "I'm an expert at getting it taped back on".....on and on and on.

Mine after the repair. You can see the glue on the left side and there is more on the underside.

Pew pew pew.
