AdurianJ Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 I'm thinking of buying a joystick to operate the radar but i've noticed the radar stick has a scroll wheel and i can't find one with a scroll wheel. Anyone know of one ?
some1 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 There's none. Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro
Derk Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 i have this one: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/farmside.html Not perfect, but has a scroll wheel on the side. Joystick has 2x3 axis wich you can toggle between with the grey button on the top. So you can use it for both radar and missile if you like. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

That's a pretty neat panel..............damn you I might need to splash on that
Duckling Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I'm thinking of buying a joystick to operate the radar but i've noticed the radar stick has a scroll wheel and i can't find one with a scroll wheel. Anyone know of one ? Same problem here, need to find a base where the handle not returning to center when "hands off" and with some level of stiction. Got a Cougar base at hand but the quiz is how to get the handle to stay in a chosen position edit: have'nt checked the handle of 37 yet but plan is to do it next stop on VFM in early -17. If it's same or close as in the 35 Draken, the scroll wheel is with limited movement with a center detent, need a good quality mini pot to mod a standard handle.

Justin Case Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Preferably one with a scroll wheel, a 3 way switch and a trigger with two detents. An old X-52 sort of have two of those. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
Snail Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I wonder if the cougar throttle will do. It has a microstick and two rotaries. Plus some switches. How (s)low can you go

AdurianJ Posted December 24, 2016 Author Posted December 24, 2016 Preferably one with a scroll wheel, a 3 way switch and a trigger with two detents. An old X-52 sort of have two of those. I have an old X52 but it needs new springs because it wont center properly and i cant find any. But the lack of a scroll wheel is annoying. The Warthog would be my main.
Suchacz Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Imho the only stick with a scroll wheel was Saitek Cyborg X, aka Mad Catz F.L.Y.5 Edited December 24, 2016 by Suchacz Per aspera ad astra!

Dingo_Bob Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Imho the only stick with a scroll wheel was Saitek Cyborg X, aka Mad Catz F.L.Y.5 I had one , it wasn't an axis, it was 2x button switches and the wheel had dents & ridges on the inside that would depress and release the depending which way you scrolled wasn't very accurate either would sometimes not register the the press if quickly scrolled form one direction to another [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Modules are like Pokemon you gotta catch 'em all :joystick::lol::pilotfly: AMD Ryzen7 3700x, G-Skills 32Gb RAM @ 3200Mhz, MSI GTX1080Ti, TM Warthog (20cm extension by Sahaj), MFG Crosswind Pedals, Oculus Rift, Track Ir5
MickeEinSweden Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 I only have extra my old Cougar. Joystick: Trigger with two detents - check, no threewayswitch but can simulate with CMS up/dn/left - halfcheck, scrollwheel - shit. TQS: I set my hope to Snail here find a smart solution for that instead I think..

bones1014 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Any further thoughts? Maybe some input from the dev team and what they have been using for testing.
bones1014 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Maybe something like this with a thumb joystick http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-tartarus-classic
Snail Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Maybe something like this with a thumb joystick http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-tartarus-classic Looks like a kind of Logitech G13 (also with thumb joystick). How (s)low can you go
MAD-MM Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Time ago i search for good Joystick for Gazelle/Bo-105 controll Panel, there way more Joysticks out there for Work Station but sadly they quite Expensive... http://www.apem.com/Handgrip-Hall-Effect-Joysticks-v9-p-28.html#3 Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward.

BravoYankee4 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Is the radar joystick spring centered? Is it analog or digital? The questions goes for the RB 05 controller as well...
Schmidtfire Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Im going with my CH flightstick as a secondary radar-stick (or for controlling the Rb05) The hardest part would be to find a good "safe-unsafe" button on my X52, since I always use one hat for zoom.
bones1014 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 How do you plan on overcoming the right handedness? It's not an ambidextrous controller unfortunately.
Schmidtfire Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I do not have to overcome any "right handedness". You cant get a more ambidextrous stick than the CH flightstick =) I use it for the Gazelle Viviane system atm. Edited January 4, 2017 by Schmidtfire
Snail Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I have two options: the microstick on the Cougar throttle and the 4-way switch on the Logitech G13. Hopefully one of them will do the job. How (s)low can you go
Hawkeye60 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Ah I was thinking fighterstickI use a CH Fighter stick USB for the WO in the Gazelle. It works perfect! I will use it with the Viggen as well. It has a throttle pot which can be assigned as you wish Plus lots of buttons. I have two joysticks, one home made cyclic, a home made collective, a Warthog throttle and two button boxes using Leo Bonder boards as well as saitek panels. The saitek TPM panel is recognized as axis's in windows without any other software installed. They work great for the Gazelle Fuel and rotor levers. I also have a multi switch panel from VR insight that has a small joystick included. There are many options to choose. Check the leo bonder web site. With some of his boards you can connect old non-working joysticks so they are recognized as USB devices. This is what I did with the cyclic and collective. I re-purposed three old non working joysticks into the cyclic and collective. They work perfect! Up dated the pots to encoders as well. They were 15 years old! Now work again! I knew I did not throw them away for a reason! Hope this helps Hawkeye "Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three.
