hegykc Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Believe me, all of your impatience combined, doesn't even come close to mine :) I am waiting for my 3d printer to arrive. It's bought, paid for and currently in assembly getting ready for shipment. 4-6 weeks delivery time, and now it's been a month so soon. www.replikagear.com
southernrebel Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 understand frustration. just keep us updated like you just did. al we ask. do you have the sticks / drawings ready to go. if so could you list what you have so far.
MTFDarkEagle Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Oh man good stuff.. Just the thought of a plug-n-play Ka-50 stick would get me drooling... (I can feel a collection incoming once you start producing :P ) Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
hegykc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Sure. I have several completed models of outer shells. That means I just need hollow them out to fit in buttons/switches and electronics. That will be the easier part. The hardest thing to do are the complex shapes of the grips. As of now I have completed shells for the following: F-18 grip F-15 grip F-14A and F-14D grip and throttles Eurofighter Typhoon throttles Ka-50 cyclic and collective P-51, P-40 grip (and others that use the same type) Bf 109 grip Fw 190 grip I think that's it for now.

llama Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Damn....I just had to get the x65. Looks lkke I may have to pick up a warthog (stick only) so I can partake of your goodies.

hegykc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 It would appear that they have the same type of internal setup as the stick, so I would say yes, throttles too. www.replikagear.com
agrasyuk Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 3d models looking good. Can't wait to see how the product itself ends up. F15 or 18 grip is definetly of interest Grip is a twist off so that's easy swap. The throttles however is a disassembly of factory device. so I'm guess his will be personal responsibility and obviously will void any kind of warranty Anton. My pit build thread .

hegykc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I just disassembled mine, no chance of braking anything. With a picture guide it would be a 5-6 step process, under 10 minutes, disconnecting two connectors - removing A-10 throttles - mounting X throttles - reconnecting two connectors. It's pretty basic actually. But, the left throttle has a fixed number of inputs, one button and one switch. I don't think it would be useful for any other airplane? P.S. There's going to be problems and obstacles along the way obviously. But the main thing is for something to start happening. Once I get some prototypes done, some molds, do some castings etc. Proof of concept, proof of market = someone will start noticing :music_whistling: Edited June 20, 2014 by hegykc www.replikagear.com
southernrebel Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 i got pic's of stick and throttle. i can pm you if you want. please consider the A-4 stick and throttle. there is a demand and there is a dcs mod .

Ktulu2 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I hope I won't make you guys repeat, but would the stick be a basi «plug and play» on the thrustmaster warthog (stick only, i guess throttle would be harder to install). I do DCS videos on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAs8VxtXRJHZLnKS4mKunnQ?view_as=public
Phoeniceus Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Ehm sorry, but if you would have read 4 posts up (#235 and #236), you would have found the answer to your question.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sokol1_br Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I hope I won't make you guys repeat, but would the stick be a basi «plug and play» on the thrustmaster warthog (stick only, i guess throttle would be harder to install). Ktulu Inside Tm Warthog/Cougar/F22PRO stick grip has a "multiplexer" circuit that need be "transplanted" to new grip. So is not possible a new just bolt on "pnp" grip. http://www.simhq.com/_technology3/images/technology_174a_018t.jpg Even for 4 button KG-13 or 3 button P-51 grip. Without this circuit the Warthog dont "boot up". Sokol1
geneb Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I would love a KG-13. If those chips are just standard parts and not programmed micro-controllers, it would be pretty easy to develop a schematic and produce blank board for people to solder up. g.

hegykc Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 There is no micro-controllers inside the stick, just some simple electronics. Of course the board would have to be replicated and I plan to do just that. So the stick would in fact be "bolt on" and "plug'n'play". That's the plan anyway. Also, I remember someone doing i replacement grip even without any electronics inside, still worked, but reckognized only one button. www.replikagear.com
geneb Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Ah, ok. The board wouldn't even need to live in the stick necessarily, especially if there was a stick extension involved. g. Proud owner of 80-0007. http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of her kind.
Ktulu2 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Geat, i'll be sure to buy one :) I do DCS videos on youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAs8VxtXRJHZLnKS4mKunnQ?view_as=public
Sokol1_br Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 In this topic - adapt a KG-13B grip on Warthog base - is say that Warthog dont boot without grip attached, due the internal "multiplexers". http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3502384/Re:_Modifying_Warthog_Stick#Post3502384 In case the guy use a Teensy 2.0 to handle the grip 4 buttons.

Buckeye Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 What price point are we looking at here? Or is that yet to be determined? I'd def have interest in a F-18 grip.

hegykc Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 Printer shipped, should be here next week, or the one after that. We are now officially two weeks away :) www.replikagear.com
geneb Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 So theoretically, you'll be ready about the time the Oculus Rift DK2 or Half Life 3 ship? *grins, ducks & runs* g. Proud owner of 80-0007. http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of her kind.
