My ejection handle use a teensy2 microcontroller with MMJoy2 firmware which makes a USB gamecontroller in windows. I then have a regular door alarm magnetic switch that closes when the magnet is removed. MMJoy2 software allows the teensy2 to output repeated button presses when the switch is closed. Works really great! The one in this video uses a regular microswitch that closes when the handle is pulled.

Absolutely magnificent! I have actually tried the real Rb05 simulator, back in 1993 :) Please make an iOS version!!

Thanks for the tip! Never heard of that one, but I lived in Gävle when I read Op. Garbo when I read about the Russians rolling past Hemlingby, where I lived. I felt like looking out the window to make sure it wasn’t for real... ;) Very good books! Back then I was a high school student and couldn’t afford to buy the books. Found them at an old bookstore a few years ago, so I have them in my bookshelf.

I’ve used MMJoy2 firmware and software, with a teensy2 board, for several controller applications. Works great. MMJoy2 is written by the same guy that does the software for Virpil. https://github.com/MMjoy/mmjoy_en/wiki

Yeah... Trying to help here. The reason I asked was that if the springs aren’t tightened, the stick will lean out of center. Try the Kosmo sim cams. The Avia sim cams seem to produce an uneven force distribution.

What happens if you tighten the springs a little?

Thanks! I do have some plans. I’ve said I will tidy them up and post them, but I haven’t had time. Here’s the build thread.

I made something similar... :)

The P-51 is famous for its whistling sound from the gunports... Could this be what’s simulated?

Smallest F-16 style cockpit I know... But perhaps too small? ;) https://www.xflight.de/pe_sim_sml.htm

Fun making your own controllers, huh? ;)

I’d do what Sokol1 recommends, or use an o-ring.

Using Win7 you are below the recommended system for VR... Why not upgrade to Win10 and newer Oculus runtime?

Well, I have the 3D files and the switches are regular cheap keyboard switches. The springs was scrounged. But this isn’t rocket science. Just experiment with the trigger, springs and at what distance you need to put the switches. I made a simple jig, like this: Oh! BTW, Fusion 360 works on Mac.

Here’s mine

It’s hard to check your setup when the wiring diagram ports doesn’t match the ports in MMJOY. Have you set columns and rows according to this? https://github.com/MMjoy/mmjoy_en/wiki/Controllers-(compatible-base-boards)

Could you show how you set up the matrix? Did you swap colums and rows, perhaps?

That’s going to be awesome!

Ok. Well, it’s not the creepiest of bugs I’ve seen. But probably an easy fix for the code wizards. ;)

Yeah, it retracts with the landing gear and deploys when the nosewheel strut compress on landing. Last time I checked in DCS it retracted when the nose gear strut extended. Is this still the case?

RaTzo, have you tried changing gamma?

There will be errors in that list, naturally. Just like in any other war. But that war has been scrutinized by external intelligence agencies as well. You can be sure that the US had a huge interest in collecting data about the performance of the Tomcat and its weapons. So, unless you claim to have a better reference... :)

:thumbup: I’ve tried to make this point a couple of times now... Just look at the Phoenix kills during the Iran-Iraq war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Iranian_aerial_victories_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_war

But, the fact of the matter is that the Phoenix has killed a number of fighters... So, evidently it can be done.

So, what’s the beef here? That the Phoenix is just for bombers? Iran got quite a few fighters with theirs, during the Iran-Iraq war. But it is a stand-off weapon, so I guess it usually hits unsuspecting targets...
