Rainman

Thanks for the pointer to the manual ,I have had a good look at the details for the collective ,that will be the first unit that will be done as a Blackshark version

Blackshark collective & cyclic If I understand correctly there is no twist throttle on the blackshark but there is a hat switch and several other toggle switches along with a collective brake which has a switch connected to it ,I can get very close to the real thing including the brake handle and the flat black ripple powder coat. I am also able to do the the same thing with the cyclic ,but the grip would be a US type B8 or similar The end product will be similar to the micro class helisim on the web site at www.rainman.tv but with the changes to suit the blackshark combat simulator. A feature that I am developing for the comercial version of my controls is a force trim setup that holds the cyclic in place when the button is released and I will probably use that method to do the collective brake as well as having it on the cyclic.

Would you want that unit with or without a twist throttle?

Mark here from Rainman Simulators in Australia ,I design & build flight sim controls and cockpits for both the commercial and gamers markets ,my day job at the moment I am an industrial electronics technician/electrician some of my recent work has gone to the RAAF in Victoria and the Aviation High School in Queensland. I have my web site at www.rainman.tv and Facebook page of Rainman Simulators ,both of which still need some more work. Due to the overwhelming response I have had from the DCS forums I am seriously thinking of making a versions of my existing controls especially for the KA-50 Blackshark and the A-10C Warthog ,if anybody could let me know which features that you would want I can work out designs. I can also offer the cockpit with an olive type powder coat along with bolt on panels and indicator lights.
