I have the Alpha Grip on the WarBRD base and use the standard BMS DX mapping system. No problem at all. No need for any other launcher as BMS can “see” all 32 buttons and switches.
Lucky for us we have the best of both worlds. Join a VFW if you wish to reap the benefits of operating within a VFW and Discord such as Falcon Lounge and take advantage of those opportunities. I’ve been with a VFW for 6 years and with work and personal life I can’t make the flight nights however with Discord the pickup flights are plenty and at the Falcon Lounge it’s a learning vibe for the new guys and the old Hats are trying to do it as close to the book as they can, if that’s their thing.
Just to chip in, I have destroyed many mi’s (mi-8? forget the exact name) and AH-6s that were ‘supposedly’ on the ground with amraams. so maybe? This would be a fun test to do.
