SlapStik Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Hi All, I recently bought a Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog and am very happy with it. I'm wondering though, has anyone modified it so the Warthog stick is mounted to a small base versus the large plate? It seems that it would be so much easier when using the center mount..... I'm thinking of fabricating something with plywood to reduce the size..... any thoughts? Thanks, Doug SlapStik TM Warthog #1547, TM TPR Pedals, TM MFD pack & TIR4

streakeagle Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 If you don't mind the price, the JetSeat despite its limitations adds a "feel" to flight simming that is hard to give up once you have tried it. Bumps on runways, turbulence at high AoA, vibration with weapons fire, etc. It is a given that it cannot match the real forces, but it provides feedback that you can't get from a visual display or your speakers/headsets. If I forget to start the software before starting DCS World, I immediately notice and end up quitting to desktop to get my JetSeat active! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk The other guy got you the dimensions but I've seen some people use thick Plexiglas to act as an adapter and that seemed to have worked well. I am sure if it's feasible for you, a think piece of sturdy metal would work even better. In any case, should be pretty easy to fashion something to do the trick :thumbup: Rig: SimLab P1X Chassis | Tianhang Base PRO + Tianhang F-16 Grip w/ OTTO Buttons | Custom Throttletek F/A-18C Throttle w/ Hall Sensors + OTTO switches and buttons | Slaw Device RX Viper Pedals w/ Damper Tactile: G-Belt | 2x BK LFE + 1x BK Concert | 2x TST-429 | 1x BST-300EX | 2x BST-1 | 6x 40W Exciters | 2x NX3000D | 2x EPQ304 PC/VR: Somnium VR1 Visionary | 4090 | 12700K

GregP Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Unfortunately, for me, using the T-50 base's U-bracket to mount it to the WSP Warthog attachment plate (after drilling a hole as noted above) did not provide the stability I was looking for. So I went with a less elegant solution as shown here: two small C-clamps. Thought it might be helpful for anyone else who has the same issue.
P5138 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) I had no idea there was an option for the smaller center plate. I printed one out in PLA. It's a perfect fit, of course, but it does tend to fail after 4 or 5 months. Once it fails, I print another. I'll probably cast it in epoxy at some point, or order a print of it in aluminum.

Hey Greg, I was also thinking of going the WSP Warthog + T-50 route. Do you have a side shot of your assembly? I'm not entirely sure how this all holds together.
