bunraku Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Just wondering how people protect their throttles from dust etc. Do you have it covered and if so what with? I've noticed since I got mine that dust settles on it and the channel that the throttles sit in is quite large and must allow lots of dust in. Thanks
Sporg Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 I got these from Aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cloth-Cover-for-Thrustmaster-HOTAS-Warthog-Cougar-joystick-dust-cover/32326240077.html They don't look exactly like on the photos, the ones I got are made in neoprene rubber instead of fleece. But they work and fit fine, and the rubber surface is probably easier to clean dust off from. ;) System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use

Sokol1_br Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Well are this option: :D http://danceforce.stesoft.com/sock.jpg Alternative, take some measures, cut in paper, test, then find someone that can sew the thing in proper material for you, similar to this: http://simhq.com/forum/files/usergals/2011/01/full-22630-4470-img_0628.jpg Then buy this "ornament" and add: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Goody-Remove-Before-Flight-Embroidered-Canvas-Specil-Luggage-Tag-Label-Key-Chain-/291454075990?hash=item43dc044456 Or maybe the France "haute cotoure" still making the covers: :thumbup: http://hotas-cover.jimdo.com/shop/ Edited January 9, 2016 by Sokol1_br

Ok I will check it from time to time, I would not mind having something like that. In the meantime I will just continue to do what I have been doing, wiping mine down regularly to keep as clean as I can.
