Those look cool, would be nice to have a set of touchscreens that were USB! P.S welcome to the forums gents.

I want one!

It was a poll on their website about what kind of stick customer would like to see on shelves, and X52 with FFB was the #1 vote. That was right after they were purchased by MadCatz so maybe soon...

Welcome back!

Sweet!

While driving you are constantly scanning the treelines for that telltale puff of smoke that signals a manpad launch.....and even though the launch never comes, you dare not stop because you know those bas**rds are just waiting for you to let your guard down.:unsure:

Nice website, no prices though; you ask for quotes it seems. Also noticed these on the site...http://www.apem.co.uk/Switch_joysticks.html There is a USB2.0 joystick interface board to program with 3 analog axis and 8 buttons or so....that could be useful. The switch guards you found look good, and there is a few different types. Let me know what kind of prices you find!

I'm excited about this release...something different!

This is the best stick I've used so far!! I just finished it today, and WOW is it fun to use!

Take your time finishing the pit, looks amazing so far!

I tried to find them, but I think they may be rare, or I suck at use search engines. However, take a look at this site, it's given me all kinds of ideas on switches... http://mechanical-components.globalspec.com/Industrial-Directory/switch_guard_toggle How about an emergency off button for a chaff/flare dispenser?? what an easy rig to build, it gives me an idea! http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Telemecanique-Mushroom-N-O-Push-Button-Switch-XB2A_W0QQitemZ320224095620QQihZ011QQcategoryZ58169QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 what about buying long toggles and drilling your own hole in the guard?

Great looking pit Tango!! The fuel shutoff handles look properly worn! What program do you use to paint the new textures?

Have you tried (or can you use) the newest Xvid codec? I know I use it to compress my Fraps vids when using V-Dub...although it doesnt compress THAT much.

While in the Real World, when a conversation turns to helicopters you immediately sieze the podium and begin informing everyone of the dangers of mast bumping, VRS, and dont forget the autorotation..............while eyes glance from side to side... but you dont let up and start lecturing on ground attack tactics, entering a quick hover and how to use the trim button, then taking a detour and marveling the crowd with the benefits of Kamov's contra-rotating blades. (and the danger of a rotor strike!) The lecture comes to a halt when one in the crowd asks "how do you know so much about Russian attack helicopters, anyway?" You respond, "oh I'm just a beginner..."

Heh, I think i spent more time wondering what secrets those shortcuts on GA's desktop had in them! @ Skydoc, is that a 27' Cat? @ Sharkster, good job, mind if i use that....course my wife wouldn't miss the busted beauty if i put it on a pinhead!

Still nothing in Abby/Chilliwack area.... London Drugs shows up as 'Back-ordered at warehouse'...nothing at Future Shop, mind you getting an answer from somebody there is ....

Good flying Frazer!

Because that would be too simple for everyone, and Saitek knows that nobody likes simple software.... ...and no word of a lie, i just fired up my saitek programming to see if i could copy my profile to post it up for the OP, and i got a BSOFD for my troubles.... my profile wont do you much good anyway, because I have remapped my ingame key bindings as well.

Nice job Flatlander!! I've got an AV8R just waiting to be flanged into something else!

Yes, the X52 throttle has mouse functions mapped, 2 buttons and mouse wheel. This allows you to click buttons and turn dials and knobs with the scroll wheel built in. If you want, you can also map mouse click to a button on the joystick.

I had this same problem because i was running Vista and a Realtek audio card....I had to install the drivers to get my 3D sound back. If you are using vista, google the brand of your audio hardware, vista, and 3D sound, and you will most likely come across patches or drivers to help you.

Thanks, I'll have to check in there from time to time!

I've never encountered that error, sorry.

Wow, nicely put together man!! That will machine some great parts...cant wait to see!

sorry for offending anyone, i see now the comment was rude... I do not think the situation is funny whatsoever, like i said in my previous post, i was very close to sending my money as well...again, sorry for the rude post.
