Love it. I'd pretty much decided not to buy anything more until 2.0 & Edge, given that I've been waiting for Nevada since purchasing the A-10C in beta (though this was a fairly recent decision - I already have CA, FC3, BS2 and the Mustang). The $15 price on the Sabre caught me, then I discovered a completely digital product was "out of stock". Ridiculous.

Do you have a link handy for what the price might be? IIRC, these were not cheap.

^^^ +1 Welcome to the insanity, and good job on the interface. :)

Isn't it also possible to adjust the slew rate using the MFD menus in-game?

Google images turns up a bit, like this: http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/521177-looking-some-helicopter-switches.html

Well done, ED.

That's a builder, there ... "when", no "if". Great pit - clean, functional, ready for more.

I'm betting 64-bit Win 7 is what most folks around here use, so I'd doubt the OS is your problem. I for one use both the Cougar and Warthog and have had no issues (I don't use TARGET at all). Have you tried connecting the stick to a different computer? Were the stick and throttle both up-to-date on their firmware? Are you connecting through a USB hub?

+1 The mouse cursor already disappears after a short period of inactivity, which could be when it resets to the middle of the viewport. It'd be a non-issue for touchscreen users, since their "click" position will always be relative to the current view. This would be a great option.

Always appreciate your contributions, Flim!!

We pit builders wouldn't need anywhere near that resolution/quality, so I feel like it's just a matter of finding the right product. Like you, I know I've seen this sort of thing before, and I certainly wasn't playing with a $1000 product.

I did a little more hunting, since this sounded like such an awesome idea ... This is the only page I could find with any prices. http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/fiber-optics/fiber-optic-tapers-faceplates/1599

I'm hoping someone can help me track down an issue ... I have no axes assigned for ground vehicles, but the Y axis of my joystick appears to be acting as brakes. When driving around in a ground vehicle, I can't go very fast unless I pull back on the stick. I also discovered that my stick will steer the vehicle left and right, too. Again, I have no axes assigned for ground units. I've checked my control mappings and even gone as far as deleting my input folder entirely. Am I the only one with this problem? Anyone have an idea about how to fix it?

Could you clarify your question? Are you basing the 50% estimate on the RPM gauges in the front panel? If so, then you're fine - you don't actually want your engines to shut down at minimum throttle. Otherwise, if your joystick is only providing the "upper half" of it's travel, I suspect a calibration issue - open Game Controllers in Control Panel and calibrate your stick. Were you using a different controller before this?

See if you can find an old radio control transmitter (the kind used for model airplanes and helis). Make sure at least one of the sticks is 2-axis, and with a little fiddling you should be able to hook the pots up to whatever board you're using. You'll probably have to remove the springs from one of both axes to eliminate the return to center, and it'll probably still be too large to fit into a stick grip, but it's probably your best bet before a complete DIY solution or shelling out the money for a specialty component.
