Dragon completely missed the point so let me reiterate it…you can still have a load of fun using a force sensing stick on aircraft that never had such in the first place

RE: General HOTAS advice
@oakdesign- I truly hope that worked out good for you but a simple hall effect mod and stiffer spring doesnt make up for a poorly designed gimbal. Try a virpil or vkb and come back to this

RE: General HOTAS advice
I dont understand where people get the automatic assumption that force sensing sticks are exclusive only to f16 (or fbw). Ive flown with x65 since it was released and have no issues flying precision maneuvers with traditional aircraft like ww2 and helos alike. As long as u have a concept of trim then its more than adequate for most everything. From my personal experience, you will have a frustrating time with X52/55/56/or warthog doing precision flying. Sometimes i might come off as a troll on these forums because i rear my ugly head to reiterate this repeatedly and sound like a broken record, but its because ive flown in wings with countless people who buy those junk sticks thinking theyre great mid level sticks only to quickly get frustrated and quit altogether because they dont think they have what it takes to AAR for example, when its really more to do with crummy hardware they have to contend with (yes, those sticks are THAT BAD). Not saying that with a butt load of practice it cant be achieved with these toys, people even do it on gamepads, but i recommend doing yourself a favor and saving the headache. You dont have to spend extra money either to get good quality. Fighterstick, t16000 and warbrd are all far superior choices if u cant find an x65

RE: CH HOTAS
I used the fighterstick for years, and as far as moving sticks you wont get a better unless you get maybe expensive VKB. Its got a longer throw than any of the other mainstream stick which leads to better precision. I “temporarily” moved to a warthog, and after trying so long to like it i would take ch over it every time. Ive since moved on to a force stick and will never go back to something moving, but if thats your thing then imo ch is top notch

RE: Why go for the merge?
What happens when the enemy flies same aircraft as you? Is TGP enough to be sure before the merge?

RE: Devs real question
when your resolution gives you a quarter mile tally range, you have to start recognising that the resolution is too low.
I used to play AF @ 1280x1024 and don’t remember having problems with tally. In DCS, I can actually spot things easier in VR (although still abysmal) than on a 32" 1080p, and I can spot things way easier in BMS @ 1080p than I can in DCS @ 4k. I think the game engine has more to do with tally than does res. Besides, they already have higher res versions coming out.

RE: Is it possible to get tobii eye tracker 4C support ?
Have you tried facetracknoir or opentrack? I think they can take the tobii signal and convert it to a trackir output that falcon can recognize. Probably your best bet
