I think his reply was aimed to the post above yours (object imported too small) For your problem: if B1-B12 used to work fine, but now stopped working, even using other physical switches, I'd wager the board is broken. You can try a different USB port, but I highly doubt that would fix the problem.

Holy hell... How did I not come across this earlier?? Well done! I'll definitely pick this up at some point soon. Looking forward to trying it.

Help required -TM Warthog how to open right throttle
MTFDarkEagle replied to hreich's topic in Thrustmaster
Ah, I see what you mean. Maybe check underneath first, the other end of the cable? There might be more cable slacked there to pull through? But, to answer your question: I don't know unfortunately... -
Help required -TM Warthog how to open right throttle
MTFDarkEagle replied to hreich's topic in Thrustmaster
Uhm... What's your problem exactly? Your post indicates you managed to open it? -
Do you maybe have TIR or something? That could interfere with zoom maybe. But, the slider is just like any other axis.. If you can assign like a throttle or something, you can assign the slider. It should really be as simple as that, either something *is* wrong, or you're doing something wrong.. Are you also selecting the correct axis box in the axis commands? The throttle column and such?
-
Didn't you know? :D:D:music_whistling:
-
Yes you can :) In the control options go to your axis setup and there is a zoom somewhere. Map it to the slider axis and you're good to go :)

Interesting question... Actually I'm in the same boat. I was planning on upgrading my RAM from 16 to 32GB, but have come to doubt if it wouldn't be better to upgrade my 970 to a 1070ti...

The geometry :D:music_whistling: Something like this would be nice to overlay during the design of my cockpit.
-
Do you happen to have a DWG or DXF file of this geometry?
-
Does anyone know where I can get a panel mounted 4-/8-way switch? I've only been able to find PCB mounted ones (and Leo Bodnar's off course), but would prefer a panel mounted one.
-
Below's a close-up of the UFC It's not finished yet, still ironing out the details. Also yet to implement a HAT-switch (or 4-/8-way switch) in the blanc are between the right encoder and rocker switch. Once finished I'll share the STEP file of the front plate here.

Time to pull this out of the dungeon, yet again :music_whistling: :helpsmilie: The front part of the cockpit I always wasn't completely happy with. It was a bit fragile, and if (for whatever reason) the pedals would need to be removed I would be in a world of hurt, because the -entire- thing would need to be disassembled. Since the end of September I've been in Singapore for work, and in my spare-time that gives me a nice opportunity to design an upgrade. A partial resulting project is designing/implementing a UFC. I got the inspiration from Brun's Hornet UFC (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218874). Upon investigating I discovered that this UFC was going to be far too large for my cockpit, so I desided to design my own. Another added feature to my cockpit feature is a replaceable top component. So if I want to change the UFC to something else (like and A-10C UFC, or something completely different) I can do so quite easily. This is what I've come up with so far. The front panel is blanc now, yet to design what cutouts/shapes are required in this... The cockpit comes apart in three mayor components: footwell/base, top assembly and rudder assembly. The rudder pedal assembly is designed to fit the Thrustmaster TPR system (drool), but obviously can still fit my current Saitek pedals. The footwell/base assembly is ready to be fitted with a couple of standard PC fans to get some airflow through. Still on my to-do list for this assembly: - Design front panel - Think of a way to cover the curved outside edges in the top assembly (if anyone has any ideas, let me know :P ) - Plenty of UFC stuff - Some optimization stuff Apart from this I'm thinking of making my own ejection seat, and possibly designing an upgrade to the sides of my cockpit, also in sight of easier maintenance and stuff...

Hmm that's a bummer... I thought I'd read you've modelled this in fusion, hence my question. You've no way to turn this into some kind of solid? If not, can you give some outline dimensions? And attachment hole pattern/size? Would be awesome :-)
-
Wow!! That looks really cool! Definitely going to give this a go. I have a question.. Can you provide a STEP export of this? CAD modeling is my dayjob, and the software I'm using has some serious trouble importing/using the mesh data, so a STEP export would be highly appreciated. I'm (re)doing my cockpit and designing in this UFC which is going to be hot-swappeable with an A-10C UFC (yet to be constructed), for this reason I want to get the 3D file into my CAD model of my pit and make some personalised changes. Google-ing said that fusion360 has the export option to go to STEP file.
-
Yes - exactly! :thumbup: It's a less-than-30-second-job to switch over.. So it doesn't compute in my upstairs area why you wouldn't do it:pilotfly::joystick:
-
Well if your aircraft is fitted with an A/B you'd obviously use a detent of some sort.. I just don't understand why you'd run with the WH detent when flying the A-10C... You'd have to make some curve which utilizes a smaller portion of the total axis range...
-
I see... Why you would want this is beyond me honestly, as it's a 30 second swap and you'll have the entire throttle range...
-
Why would you use the detend when flying the a10c?
-
In the axis tune menu, where you set the curves, look at which point in the curve it sits when you have your actual throttle against the detent and slightly change the sliders up/down to make it fit better.

:joystick::book: :P

Yea the Su-27 curve matches the Su-33. Had found that already, but forgot to update the post :music_whistling::pilotfly:
