Elwood Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Hi, is anyone aware of a any small stick? I'll just fill fine to fly with that and keyboard. Something like the old CH Products Mach 2!
Sokol1_br Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 The most close you will find is a gamepad...
Elwood Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 The most close you will find is a gamepad... Yep but was looking for something more precise.
cichlidfan Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Yep but was looking for something more precise. They exist, but I suspect most of the decent ones are expensive industrial grade units.

Frusheen Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Chproducts still make small joysticks. They are expensive and more geared towards industrial applications. __________________________________________________Win 10 64bit | i7 7700k delid @ 5.1gHz | 32Gb 3466mhz TridentZ memory | Asus ROG Apex motherboard | Asus ROG Strix 1080Ti overclocked Komodosim Cyclic | C-tek anti torque pedals and collective | Warthog stick and throttle | Oculus Rift CV1 | KW-908 Jetseat | Buttkicker with Simshaker for Aviators RiftFlyer VR G-Seat project: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2733051#post2733051
ineth Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I use the speedlink Phantom Hawk right now till i am allowed to get on my wish list an X52 or smt. It is pretty cheap money wise and there are reassons for this. All in all a fine simple stick but despite calibrating the sucker everyday it still does not center and i have to apply a bit right rudder and roll. Precision manouvers are nearly immposible. Landings are like trying to balance an egg in a sppon in your mouth while running with boiled eggs under the armpits through hot burning ashes. OK it does not hurt that much but it sure gets you to sweat like you would. Fly safe. Greek/German origin. Flying sims since 1984. Using computers since 1977.

1.JaVA_Platypus Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I am sorry, but what is the difference between a 'normal' joystick like the TM warthog or the Saitek X55 and a 'small' joystick? Happy Flying! :pilotfly:

TomOnSteam Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Maybe something like the 3Dconnexion Space Navigator? http://www.3dconnexion.eu/index.php?id=26&redirect2=www.3dconnexion.eu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode

The LT Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Nice suggestion, Sokol, I wonder how it will work as a slew control for the A-10 TGP? My TMWH throttle slew annoys me :) My controls & seat Main controls: , BRD-N v4 Flightstick (Kreml C5 controller), TM Warthog Throttle (Kreml F3 controller), BRD-F2 Restyling Bf-109 Pedals w. damper, TrackIR5, Gametrix KW-908 (integrated into RAV4 seat) Stick grips: Thrustmaster Warthog Thrustmaster Cougar (x2) Thrustmaster F-16 FLCS BRD KG13 Standby controls: BRD-M2 Mi-8 Pedals (Ruddermaster controller) BRD-N v3 Flightstick w. exch. grip upgrade (Kreml C5 controller) Thrustmaster Cougar Throttle Pilot seat
Elwood Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Ok, seems that there are no much alternatives, I'll start to build one then once interfaced I'll probably order the one suggested from Sokol1_br. Anyway there is no much difference interfacing resistors potentiometers or hall sensors ;-) I'll give you a feedback soon.
Elwood Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) So after a while I took the decision to build both of them, the one with the taranis quanum and the fully and made. For some details please have a looks to both videos. Feel free to give me any feedback and suggestions please! :pilotfly: The portable all purpose joystick. [ame= ] [/ame] The hand made springless one. [ame= ] [/ame] Edited February 6, 2016 by Elwood
Sokol1_br Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 :D The portable all purpose joystick. The hand made springless one. Well done. :thumbup:
