hegykc Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 So, I was about to throw it into the trash, as I'm not interested in anything less then perfect. But decided to give it some cleaning, to rest my eyes from the computer screen. And what do you know, it's actually... fine. And that's with the machine at it's lowest quality, some wrong settings, no after treatment and no curing chamber. ( I sprayed some water on it because the damn camera picks up every single dust fiber and makes it look way worse then it actually is) That's a good start even at my standards. Can't wait for upgrades so I can ramp it up to the highest. And then.. aluminum baby! :D www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmarshall Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I am really impressed so far by the work being done, really. I might have missed a post or two but I still wonder of what material the grip will be? Aluminium, resin, plastic? Also, would it be possible to add the small button in between the castle and the trim found in the f-18e so it could be used for anything else like views or map display? Thanks and don't forget to let us know how the grips are coming along too! If your plans are to make any or all the other DCS planes I will be more than happy to buy the other ones too.

T_A Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 btw not exactly specific to this HOTAS , but in the F-18C , can you have almost full control of the MFD`s like in the A-10C ? what is the purpose the castle button?

hegykc Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Aluminium, resin, plastic? Yes :) aluminum, resin plastic. Also, would it be possible to add the small button in between the castle and the trim found in the f-18e I could do that. But wouldn't it be possible to add modifiers. Like, pinky button or lever + castle hat = view If your plans are to make any or all the other DCS planes I will be more than happy to buy the other ones too. All of the DCS planes will be covered. I already have 80% of the models ready. Just need to produce the F-18 ones as proof of concept first.

Invisibull Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Hegykc, this all looks great. I'm really enjoying following you through this process. Could you talk a little about the new joystick base you'll be offering? How will it differ exactly from the TM Warthog base, and are you planning on allowing for any sort of tension adjustments? Oh, and will the 4 mounting screw holes on yours match up with the Warthog's too?

T_A Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The money notes hit the screen , but nothing is happening! hehe about adding buttons that don't exist on the real deal , it could be interesting to add some , it would be a shame to have less buttons then the Warthog stick. perhaps a master mode button like the a-10 or a second pinky button or something can i assume from the pic you are adding a lever switch?

hegykc Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Each grip will come with a nice thick embroidered "remove before flight tag" that will be hooked to a snap lock on the shaft between the warthog base and the grip, so the grip won't be able to move until you pull on the tag and remove the lock: I'm still working on the dust covers. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSqdn Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Wow... This is getting better day by day! My question is about interchangeable throttle grips. How will that work, and can it be quickly done, or should we consider ordering an additional throttle?

How will it differ exactly from the TM Warthog base, and are you planning on allowing for any sort of tension adjustments? Oh, and will the 4 mounting screw holes on yours match up with the Warthog's too? It's a bit early for that, but it will have individual gimbals for x and y, instead of direct contact and friction like warthog. Both tension and oil damping adjustments, adjustable extension built in just like this grip and yes, mounting holes to match the warthog's. My question is about interchangeable throttle grips. How will that work, and can it be quickly done, or should we consider ordering an additional throttle? The throttles will come with replacement levers, once you install those, you can connect and disconnect the exchangeable throttle grips as you wish. Installing the replacement levers would be a 5 step, 10 min job with detailed instructions. I've done this about 20 times now and there's really nothing to damage. Just unplug and replug a few wires. Piece of cake, especially with a detailed picture guide explaining what everything is/does so you don't go in blind. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSqdn Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks. I think I can make do with the one throttle then. However, I forgot to ask: does your Hornet throttle have the antenna elevation control? I didn't see that in your pictures, and wonder if there's enough wires for you to do that. I imagine it would have to be a momentary 2 way switch, since the only other axis is the slider on the throttle base.
