moespeeds Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Finally finished my Nozzle/STO lever. Pots track both levers in-game, and the STO detents even correspond to the proper positions. There is a pull-though stop at 82 degrees.

Orr89 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Anyone ever thought of custom moding a Warthog throttle to make a AV8B throttle? I'm no exbert but I keep thinking I could just re-engineer the two throttles and swap the buttons over to make a complete AV8b set up. Maybe I'll need to draw something up for you all to see.
Marcq Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Nicely done sir!! :thumbup: Hope mine comes up as nice Sure looks heavy duty Marc.. Edited January 3, 2020 by Marcq
SGT Coyle Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 This question for the OP, but really anyone with knowledge, how do you adjust the friction level for the levers in your build. I was wondering how to keep levers from flopping around in a build I'm working on. Is it a series of washers at the pivot point or some thing else? Looks awesome! Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS
moespeeds Posted February 9, 2020 Author Posted February 9, 2020 Tundra sorry for the late reply, (1 year!) I never saw your question. It's all one off, machined with a manual lathe and mill. I drew it up on a napkin, and winged it from there, so no blueprints, sorry. The curved cover is a section out of a 10" diameter aluminum tube. I've since made another for a guy that's only a bit over 2" wide, just like the real thing. For friction, each lever just rotates on a bolt with bronze washers for bushings, threaded into a block inside. The block has a set screw that runs into the bolt, so you loosen the set screw through a little hole in the front of the unit, set tension by dropping a wrench through the slot on top, then tighten up the screw. Yeah, I imagined something similar for electronics. But my main focus would be the metal structure attached to the WH throttle, not the consoles..

Bog9y Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Would consider making another one and selling it?
moespeeds Posted December 7, 2020 Author Posted December 7, 2020 The price would be off the scale. For my time it would be somewhere around $1500, that's why I never bothered to try and sell them. Thrustmaster is now producing a set of airbus levers. These are made to work with their airbus throttle quadrant, but with a Bodnar board and some light fabrication, you could easily make these into Harrier Nozzle levers.

Bog9y Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Ah ok, that's a bit more than I want to spend. Great idea on the Airbus levers although I think it might give me work related nightmares....I got over 8000 hrs on the Airbus .
Bog9y Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Moespeeds, where did you find those red push buttons for the NAV , A/G and STOL mode buttons?
moespeeds Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 Ebay. Every shape and color can be found there. Moe "Moespeeds" Colontonio vVMA 231 http://www.vvma-231.com/ Looking for a serious US based Harrier Squadron? We are recruiting!
Bog9y Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Cool, thanks , I did find some good ones there. It looks like you got a pushbutton there for the flap BIT test however, there is no key combination under control options for the bit test. Did you modify the LUA to create one?
Fri13 Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 I have question about the stop lever positions holes, that is there just a simple math to figure the holes positions or was it easier to go through trial-and-error that move the lever and mark the positions the game corresponds them and then drill the holes? Like I could think that just marking first and last holes and then place proper pacing to right amount of holes is enough? i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
moespeeds Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 The DCS in cockpit lever does not seem to follow a linear path when you apply it to an arc. I initially tried to use math, but it didn't work so I had to actually mark each position and drill. If you look closely, you can see those holes are not evenly spaced, yet in game they line up just about perfect. The recent update that gave the STO axis "detents" screwed it up a bit, but it's still close enough. On 2/11/2021 at 3:52 AM, Bbow said: Cool, thanks , I did find some good ones there.
