Rep inbound! But one question though- isn't the collective reversed? Because this way pulling full collective will bring the throtle to idle position, while minimal collective will be at max throtle settings. I don't know how they've modelled it in BS i.e. which throtle position coresponds to min and max collective. Is it possible to reverse the throtle action by software, LO or SST?

Yep. You can reverse axis in LO.

This answers my question, thanks. I'm not at home now so I couldn't check it myself, it was a long time since I've been messing with joystick options after I bought the X52.

It is kinda similar if that what you want to ask. There is a startup procedure of Ka50 video showing collective for a moment. Fallow the link http://www.thebattlesim.com/index.php?end_pos=133&scr=products&lang=en

 

 

Well my main question would be is does the collective have all those keys and buttons on it, like a joystick does. I ask because it would be easy for me to put a stick type deal onto my x52 but i dont really have the money to mess with getting that keyboard, taking it apart (probably breaking it in the process). I want to know if it is at all realistic just to put a stick there with may a button or 2.

and when you have seen it you will also know why i want a collective with more than 100 programmable commands.:smartass:

Can i ask how much that would cost?

Or is there any collectives out there that can be bought to work on computer?

Just a thought:

 

My brother (he is a metal worker) would

help me to built ready to use metal rods.

So I would estimate the costs at 70-80€.

 

I would ship it like this :

I voted : will not buy it.

But only because I'm not really interested in having a collective. But otherwise the idea is superb. I find the cost is a bit expensive (based on the quote I saw in Russian forum) but it's a good idea. Good luck.

(Uh..,sounds familiar to me... :lol:)

 

This thread will soon be closed!

He Urze,

 

I just tried your little marvel in Brussels at Simware! Grrrreat! Incredible! Just what you need to control that chopper.

 

Keep up the good work!
