marques Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Hello fellow pilots! I´m an avid reader of this forum, although not a writer, possibly because english is not my native languaje. Nevertheless, I´m starting to advance in the construction in my cockpit, and I need help, so.... here I am! One of the things that I want to improve is my joystick. I have a g940 and as I love FFB I have no intention of changing it, but I have some ideas for making it better. In any case, my first question is about joystick extension. I currently have the joystick in the chair, between my legs, and the distance of the chair (and me) to the screen is limited by the travel of the joystick, wich is slightly enlarged. I have the intention of putting the joystick base on the floor, and then enlarging it much more, like 40/50 cm. But then, the trip of the joystick handle will be greatly increased, and it will simply not fit between my legs or in the aforementioned space with the screen. The solution is simple, I guess, and is to limit in the base the possible travel of the joystick. It´s the only one I can imagine. And this is my question. If I limit the travel of the joystick, can I mark that limit by software? I guess that using curves it whould be possible. Whould I lose accuracy in the joystick virtual movement or the hall sensor is precise enough? Any showstopper that you can imagine?
