If I understand this correctly, the plastic part cannot be screwed onto the metal nut of the grip? Maybe that is too easy of a solution, but maybe it is just the plastic center pipe that collides with the plug of the grip? You actually have to do some cutting to get everything to fit properly. Shameless self advertisement, maybe this helps you? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=153088

I really do not want to litter this thread, but: -An additional button on the front, so you can mimic the Sukhoi and Mig Layouts. I liked that about the X52 over the Warthog actually. - One of the 3 way switches latches to forward position (aitbrake), but not the other way. That is very specific, I cannot find much use for it otherwise. The other is a two way that latches, the other is momentary. They also feel quite awkward to use. I really prefer pushbuttons or momentary switches. May be personal preference, I really don't like it and it always a hassle to find a proper setup for my modules. - Pinky buttons on the grip are great, yes. On the throttle, there is one pinky button (the red one), and I cannot reach that button without contorting my hand. Pushing that button has also at one point caused me to "unhinge" my tendon! Not comfortable in the slightest, so there is no way I can use this for often used commands. Also once again, rotaries. I want some buttons for my left thumb to operate. The comms switch is nice, but it will almost always be set for Teamspeak. I like to go by a "left hand does control the mode, right hand executes" regime. By using pushbuttons on the throttle I set a mode like sensors, weapons etc and then use the stick to do that. That cannot be done quite well with the hats on the throttle. I know we will not agree here, it is a matter of preference. I actually greatly prefered the layout of the X52 to the Warthog. All buttons and hats are easy to reach. I just wish there were more hats on the stick. When it comes to quality, my X52 became borderline useless (jittering) some time ago, so there is that. I also do not quite like the Warthog because of the insane stiction my unit has. And to reiterate my point: I would simply prefer a HOTAS system that does not simply mimic an existing layout, but takes a kind of "best of" apporach, where ergonomics (don't need to contort your fingers) and an attempt to make it compatible with as many modules as possible is the focus.

And it has its own slew of problems (layout is very uncomfortable for people with small hands, all rotaries jitter)... From the one I tested at a shop, it does have some stiction problems like the X52. So no more cheap plastic for me, only ball bearings and aluminum. Hegykc's base looks very solid, it just lacks a grip that I can use for all my modules. The grip is okay, could just use a bit more (push)buttons. No rotaries on the throttle and a low quality slew limit the usefulness to me. The 3 way switches are very specific. Also, two easily reachable pushbuttons for use as modifiers would get more mileage from it. I also feels quite awkward when it comes to ergonomics for me. My fingers really don't like that pinky button.

Because the TM WH base/gimbal has severe problems that make me search for an alternative. And the WH grip is also kind of impractical (more buttons, slew control, better ergonomics would be nice). So since this project entails grips, a base and a throttle unit, I would rather have a universal throttle and grip instead of an F-18 grip and a BF109 grip, and a Mig-21 grip etc etc etc.

To be quite honest, I am not that interested in grips for individual planes. The problem: They are way too specific for a plane. I like to fly all kinds of planes - sometimes I like to do a bit of WW2 dogfighting, sometimes I like to fly the MIG21. Sometimes I do a bit of sightseeing in the Huey. I want a stick with a grip and throttle that allows me to fit almost all HOTAS buttons of every module onto it. And I don't feel like having a collection of grips that I quickly exchange before flying. The TM-WH at least has a proper grip with loads of hats and is used both in the F-16 as well as the A-10. I still would prefer an additional push button somewhere. The throttle on the other hand, is way to specific. I want more hats, more buttons (not 3-way switches), and proper rotaries and a mini-stick. The TM WH is a godsent for all those that want to build a hog-pit, but in all other ways it is pretty limited - it is simply designed like the real thing, and that was designed to work for one specific plane. So, what am I rambling about? I would actually prefer ONE proper grip that is ergonomic, has loads of buttons, hats and the like as well as a proper gimbal/base to go with it. The throttle as well should have everything I should ever need when simming. So, do you plan on building some kind of universal grip and throttle? I know this started as an F-18 grip, but became so much more.

That is a metal part by the looks of it. You could try to solder or weld it, though that depends on the metal - looks like cast iron to me. edit: Looked at my WH, and am pretty sure it's pressure cast aluminum - there is no (easy) way to weld this, sorry.

Da gab es mal vor kurzem einen thread, mal sehen ob ich ihn finde... Hatten glaub ich auch die deutsche Version installiert.

Um nochmal auf die grundsätzliche Frage von Zoom anzusprechen: http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Export_1_0_1 https://github.com/jboecker/dcs-witchcraft http://deadfrogstudios.com/warthogpit/index.php?title=Exporting_DCS_Data

Und trotzdem werden Bewegungsplatformen in echten komerziellen Simulatoren eingesetzt, weil sie einen Immersionsgewinn bringen - wobei gesagt sein muss, dass hier Stewart-Plattformen mit 6 Freiheitsgraden verwendet werden. Ich muss dir natürlich Recht geben, man kann/muss aber natürlich tricksen. Wir haben nur 1G zur Verfügung, aber das können wir einsetzen. Wenn das Flugzeug nur leicht in Schräglage ist, aber keine G-gezogen werden, kippt man einfach den Stuhl. Der Gravitationsvektor verläuft jetzt wie im simulierten Flugzeug schräg auf den Piloten. Wenn dann G gezogen werden, verläuft der Vektor (bestehend aus Fliehkraft und Schwerkraft) jetzt wieder etwas senkrechter zum Piloten. Je mehr Gs gezogen werden, desto senkrechter (1 G in Richtung Erdmittelpunkt, aber 5 in Richtung entgegengesetzt Kurvenmitte). Das heißt, dass man den Stuhl einfach wieder etwas mehr in die normale Lage bringt. Wenn man wieder weniger G zieht, kippt der Stuhl wieder. Gleichzeitig rumpelt der Stuhl etwas in der Höhenachse - bei weniger G lässt er sich auch schnell ein bisschen Fallen, bei mehr G schnellt er nach oben um zusätzliche G vorzugaukeln. Kurz gesagt, diese Überlegungen sind das wahrscheinlich schwierigste am ganzen Projekt. edit: Hab deinen Vorschlag nochmals gründlich gelesen, du schlägst eh das gleiche vor... Wie gesagt, durch Kippen den resultierenden Vektor simulieren (und nach meinem Vorschlag dann durch die dritte Achse verstärken/abschwächen). Leider hat man nur 1 G zur Verfügung... Der von f4I0 gepostete G-Stuhl schaut für mich ehrlich gesagt leichter zu realisieren und ähnlich gut aus. edit: Und dann kommt ja noch hinzu, wie der Gleichgewischtssinn das ganze verkraftet. Denn der merkt ja, dass gedreht wird und nicht nur die resultierende Kraft.

Also laut diesem thread wird die M2000 wohl erstmal nur für 2.0 kommen... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=120580&page=250

CH products look like cheap toys but are actually pretty high quality. Some claim that they "last a lifetime" (CH actually makes most of its profit with industrial joysticks). I only have the pedals, and they are pretty solid. One disadvantage with the CH throttle is that it is only 8 Bit resolution (256 steps). However, that's still more than my X52 throttle with its constant jittering. The CH throttle does not look all that ergonomic or cool - it has a proper ministick however. It also does not move at an arc but is slid forward and backwards To set up all functions you will probably need to use modifiers. The CH throttle has some handy buttons for every finger on its backside that can serve that purpose. CH throttle + T1.6000m may actually be a pretty good combo. You can get the T1.6000m for s little as 40 bucks and the CH throttle will probably outlast you.

Ah, obviously. Never been a Presley fan myself.

Already taken down by DMCA... What was the song used?

You know of prototype PCBs, right? Especially stripboards. https://www.futurlec.com/ProtoBoards.shtml You can transfer your breadboarded circuit more or less directly to the protoboard. You will still have to solder, but it is pretty easy with the help of these boards.

Mit genug Eigeninitiative geht fast alles, aber man wird sich sehr viel selbst beibringen müssen. Eine Software für die Steuerung und Regelung mehreren Achsen ist jetzt kein Pappenstiel -dazu kommt noch, dass man die G-Effekte ja Simulieren will, da muss man aus den vom Simulator enthaltenen Daten ableiten. Selbst mit meiner Ausbildung (Master im Bereich Robotik) würde ich für soetwas eine Zeit tüfteln müssen. Als jemand mit einem Hintergrund im Maschinenbau ist Zoom sicher schon mal auf gutem Weg. Nicht falsch verstehen, ich find es immer super wenn jemand soetwas selbst auf die Beine stellen will. Wenn du dran bleibst, wird es sicher was.

Wird in diesem thread beschrieben: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=153607&highlight=nevada+key Du musst dich auf der ED Webseite einloggen und dann auf die Seite des NTTR Moduls gehen. Dort solltest du den Key abrufen können.

Du brauchst einen key für die map: - musst sie also entweder gekauft haben, oder - sie als Teil der A10c bekommen haben (vor einem bestimmten Stichtag, IIRC Februar 2011 das Warthog Modul erstanden haben) Wenn du also keinen Key hast, ist es sinnlos sich die Alpha herunterzuladen, da du keine Karte hast (Kaukasus geht nicht in der Alpha).

I bought mine 2 years ago and had to return it two weeks after purchase - had some kind of short circuit or something, so was completely unusable. The replacement has jittery potentiometers and mushy buttons (unfortunately that is no reason for a refund in my country...), so I had to life with that. So, out of the two X52 Pros I had, both have severe problems. I do not think that quality assurance has improved in those years, if anything Saitek has gotten worse (look at their newest pice of plastic, the farming simulator controller. The pedals are thin plastic sheets!). The problem is of course, that we as customers don't have much choice between products in this price range. If you can get your hands on a properly working X52 pro, it is actually a nice beginner hotas system. I have no idea how the g940 performs though.

Ah, sorry, need to stop skimming posts. When it comes to the X52, it is pretty good when it comes to ergonomics. The problem is the rotaries in the throttle. Every single one of them jitters. Furthermore, my X52s had constant disconnects so I returned it. The replacement one on the other hand has buttons that feel way more mushy. Quality is all over the place. In the end I think it is good enough for the modern birds, since you don't need extremely precise inputs. Flying the SU25t or the Mig21 was no problem for me with the X52. The Huey is kind of okay if you get used to it. The german Warbirds like the FW190 or the BF109 don't work well, since they have no trim. Holding the stick 2° to the right while flying is not much fun - and the X52 somehow manages to have a certain amount of stiction in the low deflection ranges that make small adjustments hard. I only ever had the chance to try the X55 at a store, and my sentiments mirror Ralfi's. Not comfortable at all to push buttons. Maybe with a palm rest mod like Sokol sugested it may be bearable, but I could not stand it. TBH, I am very hard pressed to recommend ANY hotas system at the moment, since every single one of them screws up some very basic feature.

Probier es über die Befehlszeilenmethode (in diesem thread beschrieben auf seite 28 )

Kann jetzt nicht alle deine Fragen beantworten, aber... Es gibt eine Bemühung, wobei ein paar User den Torrent selber seeden - dann geht es zumindest etwas schneller. Wenn ich den thread finde, link ichs hier rein. (edit: sniped von roadrunner... der ist aber ja auch ein sehr schneller Vogel) Download sollte eigentlich über den Modulmanager gehen. Nur der scheint bei großem Andrang einfach schlapp zu machen. So war es zumindest schon bei der Beta und jetzt eben bei der Alpha. Die Befehlszeile brauchst du also nur, wenn der Modulmanager einfach nicht will. Habe heute ohne Probleme meine Flieger über den Manager bezogen. Nachdem du die Alpha installiert hast, wird normalerweise nochmal gepatcht. Wenn du die Alpha dann startest, schreit er das keine Terrains installiert sind. Danach kannst du über den Manager Nevada herunterladen, er wird es dir eh vorschlagen.

Ralfidude made a very extensive video on the x55: [ame] [/ame]

Someone make a video, please. Also, what are the other options aside from "equally responsible?"

Was heißt hier Gerüchte? Fakt ist: - 1.2: stabile Version mit der alten Engine - 1.5 Beta: neue Engine, nur Kaukasus Karte - 2.0 Open Alpha: neue Engine, nur Nevada Grund ist, dass die Karten nicht das gleiche Format haben, 2.0 kann die alte Kauakasus map nicht lesen. Mit release der vollen Version 2.0 wird auch Kauakasus dabei sein, das Übertragen der alten Karte in das neue Format braucht eben seine Zeit. Wie das ganze jetzt mit der Mirage aussieht? Ich schätze mal, die wird es sowohl für 1.5 und 2.0 geben, korrigiert mich wenn ich falsch liege.
