FraserNZL Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 What im wanting to know is if we buy a joystick base could we use any of your sticks on it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hegykc Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Are you also going to make your own throttle bases? Yes. What im wanting to know is if we buy a joystick base could we use any of your sticks on it???? Grips will be completely interchangeable, that's the whole point. For my bases I will most likely adapt the warthog 5pin standard. If you're ordering a complete hotas with the bases, this doesn't concern you. For anyone interested in only grips/throttles, they would choose either warthog compatible grips, or x-55 compatible grips, and those grips would be completely interchangeable with either their warthog or x-55 bases. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smirkza Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 As has been said a hundred times, great work here! Very much looking forward to trying one out. Sorry if this has already been asked, but are you going to offer extensions too? I would gladly pay for a decent extension for my X55 and I'm guessing (but could be wrong) that a fair few others would like one too?

Sokol1_br Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Hegykc, In joystick market there as need a standalone throttle that meets the needs of WW II era planes - not a P-51 or Fw-190 replica - but one that can be used for various kinds o planes, with levers for Propeller Pitch, Mixture, Supercharger, trims... F-15 or F-18 throttle is nice for... F-15 or F-18. :) Edited April 16, 2015 by Sokol1_br mistype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadCow Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I've been following this thread since it was created (along with the Warthog replacement slew). This may have been asked, and I forgot...but I think it's a good review question :) Are there any plans at all in the far future to build your own Force Feedback system? Excluding that dastardly crap slew on the warthog, it feels like the manufacturers are slighting us simmers by making mostly great sticks, without the immersive quality of FFB. If you are planning this, I would probably suggest getting your initial line out first, and then a FFB collection. Obviously that would require more money for you, and from us. But if you built it to the quality you're projecting for a standard stick, I think you're going to have a lot of people throwing money at your face. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingHighAU Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 This is looking spectacular! I love this whole 3D printing idea, it's a shame you can't 3D print the electronics and wiring, that would save you a lot of time :D perhaps someone will figure that out in the future.

mhe Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Just read through this whole thread. My puny warthog now somewhat seems less awesome in comparison to what's coming. I'll happily put down the money for full A10, F-18 and Typhoon setups, stick base and everything. Will you be doing a modular throttle base as well (if you said yes, I missed it)? Given the speed at which you can design stuff and also produce it, it might be a good idea for you to keep an eye on the Star Citizen developments, there is a huuuge market emerging for spaceship input devices right now. I'd love to have a space HOTAS on top of the stuff you already announced. And please make the stick base round like the Warthog, the Obutto folks will appreciate that... Can't wait for you to start taking pre-orders! :) | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
