Sokol1_br Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Not clear if this is an individual project or commercial venture, construction similar to BRD, with laser cut metal pieces and bearings in pivots. Sensors in the picture are analog GVL224 MagREZ (KMZ41 magneto resistence), compatible with Cougar original controller. https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/14239-механика-рус-для-cougar/
Rudel_chw Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Looks amazing, specially if it eliminates the standard Cougar center play ... wonder how much it would cost.

Lange_666 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Unlike the Cougars original gimbals, there is no centerplay in gimbals as designed above. And they are smooth in all directions, even at the axis cross points. You will probably get them with center or no center cams. Price: a Virpil WarBRD base costs 190€ + VAT. Since this is a drop-in, it should be cheaper (no housing or baseplate needed) when the production is the same.

Dudikoff Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) So, is this made by the same guy who designed the Virpil War BR-D (can't remember what it was called originally)? How does BR-D compare with the NXT Ultra, if anyone has tried both?

Lange_666 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I did (not the NXT Ultra but one of the first batches of Uber 2's). Both are practically the same in feel, just that my Uber 2 mod had sometimes a little "clunck" in it when one of the springeye's on the X-axis moved along it's brass fitting. But then tension on the Uber 2 springs was a lot higher then on the WarbRD.
