Yet another warthog slew upgrade

[MTFDarkEagle]

Received it yesterday :)

 

 

In terms of feel, -this- is what the slew control should have been from the beginning.

Couldn't test it ingame though - only after replacing the control did I check which firmware version I have on my WH and it wasn't the latest LOL

 

 

So, back to pulling it apart when I get home later :)

[Deezle]

Got mine yesterday but I've been fighting a broken computer so I haven't had a chance to use it yet, looks great though!

[MTFDarkEagle]

F*ck me... So I've tried it for some time this evening...

 

 

If anyone is ever on the fence on getting this... Do it.

So much nicer controller the various sensors!

Order #2037 placed ... reading the comments, i can't wait... i have blisters on the finger using the original one

Best upgrade for the warthog. Looking forward to using it on the Ka-50 once they upgrade the cockpit...

I'll be honest, a bit dissapointed with mine. The stick gives all of it's output signal with only about half of it's displacement, no matter how many times it's calibrated. I've had this same problem with modern Xbox 360 controllers (use the same type of mini stick), while my old ones work great.

 

 

 

Anyone else experience what I'm talking about?

 

I have not had this bug... did you run the "throttle warthog calibration (v1.07).exe" ?

and load the file A10JoystickCalibration.txt?

 

Then is the standard windows calibration after that ?

Thank you! I had downloaded the calibration tool earlier and thought it was for both the stick and the throttle, and since I don't use the TMWH base anymore I couldn't use that program. But it turns out it was only for the stick.

 

 

 

Finding the correct throttle calibration tool through google was a lot harder than it should have been, but I now see it's also on the DeltaSim website :doh:

 

 

Anyways, the thumbstick now properly reflects the full range of motion. Now if I could just get the junk modern 360 controllers to do the same :rolleyes:

Received and installed my slew upgrade today. It's awesome. Worth every penny and minute of waiting time. But then, we in this hobby know that good things come to those who wait eh :)

 

I managed to get two AGM-65F's off in one pass in the hornet! Unmodded, I would often need five passes just to get one shot off.

[SDsc0rch]

if i could offer some feedback... i've actually had my hands on a legacy hornet HOTAS - the real-world TDC moves very easily and depresses very easily - and the cursor moves both slowly on the screen (and thus yields accurate cursor control) when you make small inputs and quickly across the screen when you make large control inputs

in my admittedly un-qualified opinion, the force currently required to depress the TDC is approximately twice what it should be

i find when i go to click (depress) the TDC, it tends to also record a movement of the cursor away from the radar contact (or IR target - etc) that you are attempting to designate

unless you apply an inward force *perfectly* along the normal axis of the TDC, you'll get some movement away from the desired cursor position

[sdmccorm]

Scorch can you increase the dead zone on the switch(axes) just enough so it ignores the slight deflection when you press down?

 

Probably a sweet spot somewhere that will work best. Enough to ignore slight deflections, but not so much as to cause issues when trying to actually slew on target.

 

I use the force sensor so I don't have that push option, but often wondered about that very question regarding the newer slew switch.

then you lose the fine control you need with small TDC movements

I think that's a "getting used to it" process.

Once you've got enough hours on it you can easily depress the switch without inputting X-Y motions.

At least, that's what happens for me :P :D

Yeah, that's my only gripe with this mod, it gets better after a while but still not perfect. Unfortunately here we are limited to gamepad hardware, and from what I've seen, all gamepads require such strong force on their axis controllers (as they are designed to be operated with thumbs).

[SGT Coyle]

Right now I can use TARGET Script Editor to assign the mini-stick to rX and rY axis, and setup a dead zone in the center. Does this mod change anything concerning TARGET?

[some1]

No, it's fully transparent.

[SGT Coyle]

Thanks.

I'm order #1992 and am having trouble being patient for my shipment eMail.

 

 

 

Must be patient....

[Jester_ITA]

Don't tell me ... #2037!

:helpsmilie::lol:

I received mine yesterday (#1878) and installed it this morning! Yet to test it really, but a 60 sec test using HUD as SOI gave a fantastic first impression! Need to fine tune my deadzone and curve on the axis to fit my preference, but I cannlt wait to give it a proper go tomorrow! Well worth the waiting time and money!

[Mr_Burns]

Got mine last week, only took a week to get to Aus once Damien had dispatched it.

 

 

Easy to install with good instructions, fits nice and works like a charm.

 

 

100% satisfied customer and a highly recommended upgrade.

 

 

If anyone is concerned, it does not involve any permanent modification to the Warthog, you can convert it back if you are insane! It takes 4 screws to get to and is a very simple installation using 2 screws provided.

 

 

 

Dont hesitate on this mod!

[SkipperSMG]

Don't tell me ... #2037!

:helpsmilie::lol:

 

 

#1986, im dying right now

More than 2k sold? Congrats Deltaalphalima1!

[Supmua]

More than 2k sold? Congrats Deltaalphalima1!

 

Considering my TMW throttle serial number is 90K+, he has a lot more work to do :)

[Deezle]

More than 2k sold? Congrats Deltaalphalima1!

The order numbers started at 1000, so 1000 sold which is still quite awesome :thumbup:
