Yet another warthog slew upgrade

[SkipperSMG]

Order received today, installation and calibration with the provided instructions was a walk in the park and only took 5 min.

 

10 of 10 would buy and wait for ages like a child for christmas again :thumbup:

Hello again! I would like to post another video showing a slew issue that I never noticed before the upgrade. However I am quite sure that it is NOT caused by Deltas mod and perhaps it might even be a feature for added realism. But still I wanted to show and ask for your opinion.

 

The "problem" is a heavy stuttering when slewing slowly. It does not always occur. I guess it might depend on range or whatever. It is very noticeable when zoomed in. Very interesting: the stutter is completely gone when I switch to active pause -> instantly buttery smooth slewing. Switching back -> stutter. So perhaps this is simulating a behaviour of the real TGP which is deactivated during active pause? I don't know but it is quite annoying.

 

Do you encounter the same stutters? Can you enlighten me whether it is a bug in the engine or a feature? Thank you very much and please excuse the shitty video with an annoying auto focus.

My TGP does the some and always did.

Just installed mine today, what a night and day difference. Worth every penny.

A shipment from order #1992 is on the way

 

 

Got it and installed it yesterday and am very happy.

Do people like the square pattern bezel or the round that comes ready to install?

[Joe Lighty]

I use square, since that’s the shape of the displays (DDIs) - works great for me!

Which does not affect the freedom or feeling of movement of the ministick or how to cursor travels. Its just your personal preference. I prefer the round one, since i want the cursor/ministick movement relation to be even in every direction.

A shipment from order #2037 is on the way

 

I can't wait!

Thanks!

Thanks, it is useful to know what serial number deliveries are up to.

You're welcome! :thumbup:

I am so excited to use this Slew mod upgrade! Order #2207 placed and now i just gotta wait. man i really hate how its 2019 and the slew issue has been around for more then 10 years. but thank you Delta for making an awesome work around/upgrade!

Hi !

 

Order #2027 received today(France) and product is just like advertised.

 

Installed in about 20mn (And I'm not very good at hand work and was cooking chicken legs on

BBQ).

Then tested with A-10: works really very very well ! A real pleasure to use it. (Now, the chicken is burnt).

 

I've the feeling that I lost six years of my life with the old 'mouse' stick... Buy it !

 

Thank you very much DAL 1 !

is there any way to check where I am in the order list or a rough ETA?

This thread helps you understand that. I am order 2052. Just received today.

 

My installation also took around 15-20 mins: it was easy... just follow the instructions. I probably had the most problem with calibration... do a search for Thrustmaster Warthog Calibration v1.07 to find the exe you need. That took me as long as the install itself to figure that out. Now I am playing around with DCS curves to get the TDC sensitivity just right for the Hornet.

 

Thanks to Delta Sim: it is a nice product. Good design, good instructions (but maybe link to the calibration software would be useful) and actually very well manufactured (high quality 3D printed parts, not low quality prints and beautifully soldered PCB... very professional... makes Thrustmasters PCBs look like amateur hour). Not inexpensive, but a worthwhile upgrade.

 

Well done.

I’m #2149. Patiently waiting for mine. It almost seems like this is the same kind of slew control that’s on the T.16000m. I recently switched to the warthog and I miss that control. Hope this is near the same.

[skunk160]

ok, where do i find my number?

If your order was taken, then you get a confirmation email from Delta Simulation Electronics titled "Order #2052 Confirmed"... well 2052 was my order number, but you get the idea.

 

If you did not receive such an email then maybe there is a problem with your order, or maybe you need to check your junk mail folder?

[skunk160]

ahhh, got it junk folder #2137.

 

Thanks all

#2079....I can't wait for it! XD

[peten52]

order 2065 arrived today.

 

installation is easy they said!

 

It was easy enough unscrewing the throttle, then the fun started, I think someone else has had a problem with short ribbon cables. The bottom one on mine was so short the throttle side wouldn't come off more than about 1/2 an inch. I have an early warthog throttle and it may be this cable is longer on later ones.

 

To complete the installation i had to remove the other side of the throttle, luckily this is relatively easy. Remove the throttle detant cover and there are two small screws at the base of the side cover, push the throttle fully forward, lift like lifting over the detent and you can access the first screw. push the throttle all the way back and do the same for the second screw. this gives you access to unplug the cable and free the other side of the throttle, installation was then a breeze.

 

when plugging the cable back in it helps to have a pair of small pin nosed plyers to hold the plug.

 

there were no problems with calibration,

 

Hope this helps anyone else who also finds short ribbon cables on opening their throttle.

Oh... still another 100 before I will received mine (#2165).

Nice little business for Delta Electronics. 2165 @ £40ish... revenues of £86,000 or so. I imagine that margins are quite good. Good for him for spotting this little niche and designing something that works nicely.

 

For anyone on the fence about whether it is worth an upgrade, yeah... I think it is worth £40. Thrustmaster dropped the ball and this guy picked it up and ran with it.

[SkipperSMG]

ahhh, got it junk folder #2137.

 

Thanks all

 

 

When ordering you get an estimated dispatch time. Proably 2 months or so. Thats pretty close.

I don't think Delta started counting his kits at 0001, so he probably has earned a litte less. Anyway, he had a great idea and he produces a good quality product. That's why I have no problem with him earning some money. :)

 

I bought his force sensing kit (https://deltasimelectronics.com/products/force-sensor-uprade-kit) and I can say it's worth every cent. :thumbup:

Thanks very much, I spend a lot a time getting the PCBs and soldering to look top notch, so I’m glad it is appreciated :thumbup:

 

If it help anyone I am currently up to shipping #2073, shipping around 20 units per week so you should be able to calculate yours from there.
