Sierra99 Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I quadrupled the value of this old X-Fighter stick by putting in a real F-15 Trim switch and 3 Otto P1-71111 Push buttons. Not exact matches but they work REALLY nice. Paired up with a VirPil stick extension...flying the Huey has NEVER been this much fun!

MAXsenna Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Looks very cool. Is that the stick that is the same scale? Looking for one myself. What's "inside", and what did you use for the "ring" for attachment? Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Sokol1_br Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 X-Fighter grip is almost the same size of real thing, FCS/Top Gun is shrunk for ~80%.

crash test pilot Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Debolestis has a very detailed howto in this forum on making the x-fighter compatible with the warthog base (and virpil bases also): https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160114&highlight=x-fighter&page=12 I did it also (without the otto switches).

DeadMeat Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Good job. It really makes a difference when it works out :) My mods --> Mil-spec upgrades for TM Warthog, Hornet & Cougar grips | Mil-spec upgrade for TM Warthog throttle | Real Tornado gear switch modded into gear and hook lever switches
