  1. Well, at least that makes the wait for my Rift to ship easier. I can just tell myself that DCS doesn't work with CV1 yet.
  2. Here is my current prototype. The goals of this gimbal are: 1.) No center detent (smooth transition in the center), with lighter spring force than the Warthog 2.) Can be constructed with off the shelve and 3d printed parts 3.) Durable enough to support metal grips from Thrustmaster 4.) Size should be small enough to be desktop friendly For the next prototype, I want to make this gimbal smaller. I'm waiting on smaller bearings to arrive to make this happen.
  3. Yeah, I have a mechanical prototype working right now. Will post some pictures when I get home. If everything goes well, I may release all openscad/stl/svg files.
  4. You can't, I bought the last one :) It seems like this is actually a garage operation. Just a guy making boards sold in small batches after requests from other forums. There are still a few TLE5010 & CD4021 boards available though. https://shop102607058.world.taobao.com/?spm=a312a.7728559.2015080705.3.tAQske Ordering is pretty rough, you'd need to understand Chinese pretty well. You'd need to create a Taobao (Chinese equivalent of Ebay) account, then an Alipay (PayPal equivalent) account, then you may need to get your CC company to approve the purchase.
  5. Ooo nice. How did even you find this in the first place? :) In any case, my Chinese is pretty rusty. After about half hr of wrangling and talking to my credit card company to approve the purchase, the order finally went through. ~$23 netted me: 1 x Arduino Micro board 1 x CD4021 shift register board + cables 3 x TLE5010 board + cables The reviews seems good for the items, lot of talk about the seller being helpful and patient. Now comes the waiting game. I am almost done designing my cam-based gimbal, so a TLE5010 will be a nice upgrade from the existing HAL based design.
  6. Oh no, you don't want that. You will get motion sickness if moments are not one to one.
  7. Good to hear that there is a possibility! Thank you!
  8. Hi Slaw, Would you be able to produce an upgrade CAM kit for the existing 109 owners? Thanks!
  9. Just disabled it.... wow my take offs much better now.. still wonky, but better....
  10. Is anyone suffering from eye focus strains problems with certain cockpits? I have a hard time with the p-51d cockpit - for some reason, I can focus fine on the gun sight (NO HAND HOLD text) ... but if i focus out, i get crazy eye strains.. Less problem with the TF-51D, and even less with the Huey... It seems like when there are objects close to me, I can only focus on that depth and not the distance... However, when nearest object is further away, everything is much much more comfortable... I wonder if it's my IPD settings (yes I did calibrate the config before hand).
  11. Yes i have tfs3 working... via custom the LUA export method.. Not sure about native support, since its implementation is not to my liking (vertical g effect is weird and no pre-stall buffeting)... If you want, i can post my messy (but working) export.lua when I get home...
  12. MSFFB2 feels like a toy, but stock Warthog is hard on the wrist. I have both, and I prefer to fly using a modified Warthog with lighter springs and dampening grease. It's buttery smooth and very light center detent.
  13. Wasn't planning it, but couldnt resist..... My wallet is now thinner :-(
  14. Mine's shipped! I really hope 1.2.9 supports DK2 out of the box!
  15. Execellent, can't wait to see your mechanics guides soon! I'm thinking of starting such project this fall, would love to see some pointers on the mechanics.
  16. Wow looks awesome! Makes me want to build my own now... Do you have a BOM? :-)
  17. Just tested it with 1.2.8 beta, still have the fps issue :-(
  18. Ordered mine too! I hope EDGE will support it by the time it is shipped to my door at July!
  19. When LoGetPayloadInfo() with export.lua, the game crashes as soon as you hit the 'fly' button.
  20. http://www.newgateonline.com/nyogel-767a-100gram-tube.html This looks like a European shop... In fact it seems like the only shop that sells in small quanties right now! The grease is expensive but really good. FYI, I also use it on the Cougar throttle, and gets rid of any semblance of friction - no need for the NXT bushing. In addition, it's a good candidate for replacing the worn out dampening grease on the Saitek rudder pedals.
  21. I highly suggest Nyogel 767A, a heavy dampening grease. It lasts a long time unlike the lighter EM-50L. I havn't had to regrease my stick for almost a year now, where as EM-50L was almost a monthly task for me.
  22. Hey Joe, when are you releasing this? I was writing my own bridge, but got side tracked couple months ago. Would love to get this to jump start my projects! Thanks.
  23. i wonder if there is going to a be pro metal version...
