Yes, I've scrapped the Logitech G940 and built my own base for the throttle. This model has the capability of 12 axis, (I use only 4) and 72 switch functions. I've been using it with DCS for over a year without any difficulties. This new version has the following features; The four axis available are Flaps, throttle 1, throttle 2, and wing Sweep(currently not used). The guarded switches and the 4 push buttons have only one function each. Each dial is an encoder, and all other switches are double pole double throw switches. Additionally, throttle 1 has 10 switch functions and throttle 2 has 25 switch functions.

F-14 Throttle Scale is 1 /1 and in accordance with a drawing from Mason throttle grips. This is the same drawing packet posted by PUNK on another F-14 throttle thread. I've had this drawing for about 5 years but only recently purchased a 3D printer and learned Blender. Grip measurements are 3.25 inches across LH to RH, 3.38 inches along long axis when looking at the thumb switches on RH grip. MASON throttlegrips.pdf

F-14D Throttle Grip Blender Model I am currently in the process of updating my Logitech G-940 throttle by adding grips modeled on the F-14D throttle grip. The drawing used to create the model was from the "Mason Throttlegrips.pdf. The model was created in Blender and I have printed everything in PETG. (see Attachments) I've elected to use Leobodnar 5 way hat switches in each switch position on the grips and a DPDT momentary toggle switch on the LH grip for lights. In addition, I have replaced all of the 8 push button switches on the base, 6 DPDT momentary switches and two rotary encoders. With a basic understanding of Blender it is possible to adapt the stl model to any base you might have. I have included photos of my current progress with the grips and a 3D model in stl format.

Heatblur F-14B Controls Where does one suggest control changes to this aircraft. I think we need to have the flaps controlled by an Axis instead of buttons. This will allow us to set the flaps to any position.
