Hey guys, I will be hosting a training seminar on my Discord this Saturday, Oct 17th at 11am EST. I'll be going over setup procedures for the IRCam XTR as well as going through Opentrack and explaining all of its features and what they do. If you've purchased an IRCam and it hasn't arrived yet, you can still attend or wait until it arrives and attend a training at a later date. I won't be hosting training on a regular schedule, but if you need help just drop a message on my discord or message me directly and I'll get one scheduled with you. My username on discord is Hollywood83.

Try to arrive a few minutes early so we can get started at 11. The training will take place in the tech support channel on my discord.

Also, even if you don't own a IRCam XTR, you are still welcome to attend. The setup portion for the cam will be fairly short, so this will mostly be Opentrack training, and is open to anyone who wants to attend. I'll be sharing my screen and bouncing back and forth between Opentrack and DCS to show the effects of settings changes and how to optimize them, so those principles will still apply if you're using a PSEye cam or your own DIY camera setup.

My early Christmas sale is still running through Sunday the 18th and my etsy shop is located here: rjsimtech.etsy.com. This will be the last sale of 2026, so if you've been wanting to pick up an IRTrackStar or IRCam, now is the time to do it. Lead times will begin extending into 27' fairly soon.

Super pumped, tried it last night and it feels awesome. Takes some fine tuning but man it is fun once the software is locked in.

is there an easy way for me to mod my X56 toggle switches on the throttle so they hold position instead of resetting to center? i want to flip them, it sends the signal as normal and then hold it's position, then when flipping them off/centering them, it sends the previous signal again.

i.e
Flip up (pulse) > Hold position
Flip Center (Pulse last position)
Flip Down (pulse) > Hold Position

Title. I finally added Logitech G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, after dusting off my X24 professional HOTAS (yes for wardogs but I used it for elite dangerous and arma years ago)

The stick and throttle are acceptable (though there are likely better options?) But there is a pronounced 'bump' to move the Pedals away from, and through, neutral making fine adjustments from side to side difficult.

Do other pedals have this.. feature?

I was thinking of doing a bet with my brother where we have to complete challenges on regular games, but using a hotas instead of a controller.

What are some games that would be really stupid to play with a hotas setup?

Barely used, ad with seller profile here:

Can ship mainland EU. Offers welcome

I saw a few for sale in my country. And I don't know if it's worth buying one.

Hey everyone!

I recently bought the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One Microsoft Flight Simulator Edition, but I find it way too light. Whenever I apply a bit of force to the joystick, the base lifts off or moves around.

I'm also not a big fan of the all-plastic build. It feels a bit cheap.

Do you have any suggestions for keeping it stable, or would you recommend a different model or brand with better build quality?

I mainly play MSFS 2024, but I'm also planning to use it for DCS, War Thunder, Star Citizen, etc.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Chair is going soon, but keyboard tray blocks stick in front of chair so maybe one on each side? On top of desk is uncomfortable after a few hours of DCS. Any ideas?

been checking every morning and was just able to order

cant wait
