Yeah ditto on this being a expensive hobby. I was trying to order (on)off(on) toggles and 16 was going to set me back $60-70 and that was at reasonable prices. I still think its cheaper than getting pro pilots license and renting planes by a long shot!

Cool stuff is always worth waiting for!

I dont have anyone to play with but I'd love to play that online too. Not enough hog fans around for my liking to play multiplayer.

Havent had that much time with the sim but anything that challenges me to just get engines started is good in my book. Right now I'm just learning basic flight manuevers and trimming in general. But I have to add that this is the first true flight sim I've owned that used all 6DOF for TrackIr and the result is amazing and it really shines on my projection display. Thanks to ED for such an awesome sim although it would have been nice to have a working windshield washer resevoir........ j/k of course!

Great stuff your offering pit builders an A10 pit would be awesome to say the least!

Thats cool it cant be that much different to go thru with the trouble besides I should be focusing on how to start the Sharks engines! Maybe even how to fly the thing. Thanks for the help though!

Am I crazy or was it maybe the other way around, oh boy I think I'm going crazy. UFO comes to mind "Doctor, doctor..........." there goes my mental state lol. Thanks GG!

Wasn't there a way described a while back that you could fly the new terrain using LOMAC? I tried searching but didnt get the results I was looking for. Thanks for any help! Hitch

Well if its like LOMAC certain missions force game settings. I think a lot of missions in LOMAC were locked and some werent, if you had the password you could change the settings to your liking. I could be talking out of misunderstanding though so take this with a grain of salt!

Yeah I think I'll swap them out then when I get a chance. I managed to grab three so my old PCs gonna go SLI (if possible) while the new one will go single 8600! Wish the new PC had dual PCIE slots....... dam! Thanks for the advice, got sidetracked for a few days and remembered I posted this lol!

Sweet deal on the room CAT and cool job on the rudder pedals! That X-36 should show up just like it normally does. Gonna hook up with you for some shark action for sure! Trigger as always your project is outstanding you Norwegians have much too long of a winter!

As a word of warning on your approach it may not turn out like you envision and might lose the functionality of trackir. I tried this once with BF2 for aiming and it was more work than it was worth. Looking around with trackir is great but not so great with pinpoint accuracy while keeping your head perfectly still!

Thanks dude! Well if you have any questions and you trust my answers just let me know! Another knowedgeable guy here is Hannibal as he hacked the AV8R too but I think he broke it down much more than I did!

Precisely what I mean, I love their products but cmon........ And whatever happened to the original SST version (w/ X52) that showed you what button you were programming?! Arrrrrgghhhh!

Does anyone have an opinion of these two cards compared to eachother? Some backstory, I already own both cards so I can try one or the other with no financial issues! I'm not up to speed on PC hardware anymore so thanks for any suggestions. Hitch

Watch out for the monarchs henchmen!

I'll be creating one tonight but for the most part it will match the sharks cyclic and collective. I should add that since Saitek is mentally challenged when it comes to SST that you'll have to have the EXACT same SST version as the person your getting the profile from. I can never understand why saitek doesnt make SST backwards compatible with the profiles.

For sure I will have beer next time, fill that half full glass right on up! Well heres the link to part three, just gotta add another support to hold together tighter and I'm good to go! http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2712940.html#Post2712940

Thanks Cat been meaning to jump on MSN and let you in. I installed BS and just finishing the mount. Didnt work out as I planned but will do for now, actually I'm kicking myself for rushing but sometimes I'm a kid in a toy store. Didnt wanna wait to play with the toy I want it now! :cry_2:

Do the obvious things inlcude messing with the deadzone. I'm not exactly the wiser around here but its worth messing with if you havent tried.

Thanks for the comments Trigger! Heres tonights work hoping to be attempting to start the black shark! Heck maybe even crash takeoff! http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2712476/Re_A_Good_Joystick_to_Hack.html#Post2712476 Then its off to figuring a way to scavenge the parts of this thing and turn it into something really cool! Right now this will hold me over without tearing the rest of the stick up.

Heres a link to my simhq thread! http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2711990/Re_A_Good_Joystick_to_Hack.html#Post2711990 Nothing fancy but great experience for future projects and a slight confidence builder!

Yeah that will be interesting for sure!

I understand that but if you program the controller thru SST it shouldnt matter technically speaking. At that point the game isnt seeing a controller its seeing a keyboard well in theory at least. Cant imagine saitek would make a boneheaded move like this, its a waste of a decent product.

Very cool does this grip work with the other stick system you guys put together? Or am I lost and talking about something else.....?
