Bwaze Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looks and sounds amazing! Although I'm not sure I'm a big fan of realistic button forces and travels on sim sticks. In real planes you usually operate the stick with quite a bit of force, and this is true for completely mechanically controlled aircraft, hydraulics, or even fly by wire modern jets - even almost rigid F-16 sidestick reaches "full deflection" at 25 pounds / 11 kg. So a trigger that needs quite a bit of force and large travel is not really a problem on real jet, stick has larger mass, and the forces needed to move it are quite substantial. In the simpit sticks are usually easy to move. Hard triggers and buttons with large travels can in fact throw your aim off quite a bit before you activate them. Of course having longer stick helps with that, so small movements aren't as critical, but I still think these realistic forces on triggers and buttons, coupled with a "flimsy" stick forces can be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobinjaevel Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I love all of it! I'm happy that you still have your drive and will to build your brand, been looking forward to see all this for a long time! You'll definitely have me as a customer when you're ready to start selling gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hegykc Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 but I still think these realistic forces on triggers and buttons, coupled with a "flimsy" stick forces can be a problem. TM Warthog has 100% milspec forces and travel on all of it's buttons and no one complained, quite the opposite, that's what they loved most about it. Night and day difference between TM Warthog grip switches and VKB/Virpil grip switches. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruman Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Awesome stuff. Wont be interested in the WWII stuff, but definitly watching your stuff for the modern gear :) Interesting Interface to connect the Grips to the base. Spring loaded pins, right? Any more details about the interface? Quick swap possible? Variable rotation for center mounted sticks? And the realistic forces for the buttons is :thumbup:.

Joe Lighty Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi hegykc, Any Christmas update for us? What's the game plan - will you be releasing some of these goodies, soon?? Cheers, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lighty Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I desperately, desperately don't wanna be that guy - but is this the same as the last start-up by the same dude??? I'm honestly tryin' to stay positive, but, please, give us some info/plans?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hegykc Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Chill man The plan is to setup manufacturing of some good realistic feeling flight sim controls. I have been posting pictures and videos of every single detail I engineer, what else do you want from me? We're in the middle of a worst pandemic of the last 100 years, everything's under lock-down and international transport is in chaos, would you mind giving me some time I'm not going to do any holiday hype. I share my prototypes when they're done, not my ideas.

Joe Lighty Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi Hegykc, hope this message finds you well! Interested to hear how your progress is - I'm a keen customer for an F18 grip! Love you work AND your updates! All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
