Will anyone be producing a collective for the oh-58?

I wonder if anyone will be producing a collective and cyclic for the oh-58 like thrustmaster did for the a-10, f-16, and f-18? I know tm will not as they only look at the fixed wing side. Even 3D printer files would be nice as I’ve a old max flight collective that I’m willing to modmight even make it modular heads so I can go between the uh-1 and 0h-58. As for te cyclic would like a grip that would swap out with the warthog grip on its base. Plenty of time for some capable entrepreneurs to hit a niche market.

No pricing announced that I've been able to find.

 

 

If you have the coin, this is what I have on order (it's about $1000 for both stick and base): https://komodosimulations.co.uk/collections/collective/products/135-collective but I am nonetheless excited about the Virpil setup, as it's more suited to military helis.

I have the puma and planning on it to fill the travel need for helicopter controls by travel I’m moving it to my Motorhome for use on trips ranging from 3 months or longer once my medical stuff ic complied with. For the. Main I hope to use a Maxflight collective with a modified head for the huey I the future and probably rewiredthe axis to a Leo bednor pcb instead of the default Maxflight pcb. If the Kiowa stick and collective come out for sale I might give $500-750 each if it has all the buttons,switched and rotarys that are on the actual head also better quality switches buttons and encoders plus Hal or magnet sensors for the axises

Looks like Virpil will take alot more of my money. And I'm happy to say that :thumbup:

I've seen the komodo stuff, I'm sure its good but it is pricey. And aside from the UH1 there aren't DCS specific collective grips/cyclics. I'm hoping Virpil will make something more general, and hot swappable (I can dream right).
