Mostly for the flight controls? Or some how key my keyboard to work
-
@nismo451 Possible? sure … but even a $10 PC game controller will elevate the experience, massively

I fly with the keyboard.

Viper-0…? Really…?
I would never have guessed in a million years that you flew with a keyboard.
I took you for a HOTAS man from day one…!!Why a keyboard, man…?

don’t worry my dear GORN. I have a logitech x52 pro and a x56 rhino, 2 3d printers and an ICP and 2 MFDs printed in 3d and in the assembly phase. as you see, peripherals I do not lack. the question of flying with the keyboard goes further and it is a question of ethics and professionalism, as I am the head of the virtual wing and representative on both sides of the FALCON BMS community in my country, many of our pilots lack peripherals or power Purchasing to buy one I, as an example of our community, put aside all my peripherals, I look for the method of how to fly with the keyboard or with the mouse as a joystick to serve as an example to my subordinates and demonstrate that it is the man, not the peripheral.
Greetings my old crazy kangaroo friend.

It is the man not the HOTAS

I admire you. That is quite the commitment.

Here are a example of what can be done with very low resources and with a lot of desire to fly FALCON BMS
ACV CUBA
Pilot – SKYHUNTER

@VIPER-0 what is the current situation in Cuba … is it possible to get joysticks or PC game controllers?
is it possible to ship gifts, person-to-person from US to Cuba?
-
@VIPER-0 That’s dedication, right there.
-
@nismo451 You definitely can fly using the keyboard. I think the more important question is — SHOULD YOU?
Not going into the topic of ££££ but suffice to say even a simple joystick or game controller with thumbsticks would improve your experience quite a bit. I know someone who flew using an XBOX controller and the dude can even do aerial refuelling!
-
When I fly, there are times I use throttle rudders and joystick and comms switch simultaneously. How is that even possible with a keyboard only?
-
@VIPER-0 You are great at teaching the boys in your wing that if you want you can… That the difficulties of life do not steal your passion. Proud of you brother

The government does not sell gaming peripherals and the times I have seen something relative the prices are astronomical, 50 or 60 times a basic salary.
What we do is with friends or family, they bring the joystick or hotas as luggage on one of their trips or the luckiest with a family outside the island, they buy the joystick or hotas from Amazon, they send it to one of the companies that send it to the island that are based in miami and from there it arrives after months of waiting. The government calls the person who was sent the package and through a tariff a payment is required depending on the imported equipment.
In my case, I am going to give my peripherals to some pilots of our wing. our computer engineer who made us the program to count the flight hours that takes the X56 and the X52 pro to the pilot who reaches the 200 flight hour mark in the wing’s official book. It is not the first time that I give away my joysticks. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a virtual pilot receive a gift joystick from his squad leader. I wouldn’t change that experience for anything. That’s why it’s called community.

APO, I will always be the example, that is how I was trained and that is how one earns respect among the pilots, there is no difficult task and no unattainable goals either. A persevering person goes further than an intelligent person.
Here on this island there will be FALCON BMS for a while.

I think this article was shared here before, but Havanas underground gamer culture is pretty amazing and inspiring
There is the saying, “constraints breed resourcefulness” but this takes it to the extreme

We are not going to stay still, we are not going to be intimidated because they (the government) have the control.
we are going to… Adapt and Survive.
