In the end i used 180 ohm resistors - just what i dialed in my variable resistors. -

Windows only sees 8 axes from one game controller. You can split your device into two virtual devices with software like joystick gremlin. -
3-way lever switches with axis wanted...

The Apem switches do have this, albeit they are a bit expensive... But sometimes you find them on the bay... https://www.reichelt.de/hebelschalter-10-4-a-400vac-1x-ein-aus-hs-631-h2-p105644.html?&trstct=pol_10&nbc=1 -

I managed to open and repair it with the help of someone on reddit. Here are some pics of the disassembly: https://imgur.com/gallery/AUc0ARj -
Repair grimes cockpit utility light
crash test pilot replied to crash test pilot's topic in Home Cockpits
Yes, it was sold as scrap. I was very delighted to see it light up - when i shake it. The 28v bulb was already replaced by a 12v bulb, which i really appreciate, because my homecockpit has no 28v - only 12 and 5v. If i cannot open it without destroying it i may better leave it as is. -
Hi! I managed to to aquire an original grimes cockpit utility light. https://imgur.com/gallery/ZSVYSzH Sadly there seems to be a bad connection somewhere in there. I fail to open it to have a look and all i found online are manuals to purchase. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to open this little gem in a non-destructive way to get it fully working again? I can take out the lens and the bulb, and the little screws at the back - the dimmer unit the rotates freely but does not come out. The screws at the pivot do not come out sadly. Thanks!

There WAS the super taurus from winwing, which was about 98% actual f-18 throttle, but it is no longer in production and sold out a long time ago. I have seen many people asking to buy a used one , but no one selling one. Rumour says winwing is working on a succesor, but dont take my word for it. At the moment your best option is to build one yourself - openhornet project has a lot of plans to offer.

If you have a 3d-printer (or acess to one) you could use this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4543158 Alternatively you could use the alps rkjxm/rkjxl/rkjxt switches or these: https://pcflights.com/navigation-switch-joystick-2-axis-4-ways/ -
What version to download for openbeta?
crash test pilot replied to Msiipola's topic in Home Cockpits
I always use the latest, dcs-bios doesn not seem to care about open beta or stable... -
What version to download for openbeta?
crash test pilot replied to Msiipola's topic in Home Cockpits
The zip file contains all you need. Under releases you can find older versions (if you ever need them) and you can download the arduino-library (DCS-BIOS_0.7.48.zip) if you want to program your modules on a computer without dcs. -

Any news on this? Just found the arc-210 display in the newest dcs-bios reference and wanted to get out the tank hunter again, but nothing works. The "old" Hog works in with dcs-bios, but not the new one.

HELP! MS FFB2 "on steroids" resistor mod gone wrong?
crash test pilot replied to Ganesh's topic in Input Devices
Hi! I was looking at your pcb and two spots hit my eye: 1. Is this a shorting? 2. Is this contact ok? Maybe you check with a multimeter... Good luck! -
Hi Lesthegrngo, the hub version has not seen updates in 4 years. Active Fork is the Flightpanels one: https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios
