Random Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I'll look into it. I'm a subcontractor for TNT so shipping shouldnt be an issue ... and mouser have a UK warehouse I believe
Random Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Not been back to the depot yet to see what they can do but royal mail is less than £20 for 1.5kg package to Croatia within 3-5 working days I'd be happy to pay that myself as it will help bring a great product to the community. PM for my contact details so you can check the postage from digikey/mouser to my place. 3
hegykc Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Problem solved, thanks to Random. I will be starting printing the first prototypes this Monday, so finally some long overdue pictures are coming... www.replikagear.com
MadCow Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 It would be truly stellar if we could get a simple fix for that infernal slew. That damned thing is the black spot on an otherwise immaculately designed computer peripheral.
hegykc Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 I have taken out the warthog slew, and will try to design my slew unit with the same diameter so it can fit into the warthog grip as a replacement part.There is a pcb inside the warthog throttle grip, and the slew connects to it with a 5pin connector, and both sides of the grip are removable plates, so slew replacement would actually be a super easy job. www.replikagear.com
Kuky Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 If you can get this happen (good F/A-18 HOTAS that can attach to Warthog, or maybe even Cougar) you should do quite well... I would get it, oh and then pattent the bloody thing! With DCS hornet it should sell quite well... wish you luck! No longer active in DCS...
MadCow Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I'm in for a slew fix and any current age jets hotas system myself :) If I ever got into flying the old birds enough I'd go for them as well, but it hasn't happened just yet. "Shut up and take my money!"
T_A Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I would buy F-18 and F-14 if those were to be made for sure! also i would defiantly consider a throttle with a normal slew button.

98abaile Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I would instantly buy a replacement slew control.
MA_Goblin Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I would get the slew replacement as well and perhaps the stick also if my budget allows :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _____________Semper paratus, In hoc signo vinces________________ PC: Intel i7-8700K (4.9 GHz), Aorus Ultra Gaming Z370 MB, Gigabyte RTX 3080, 32 GB DDR3 (3,2 GHz), Samsung EVO 860 M.2 500 GB SSD + Samsung 960 M.2 250 GB SSD Gaming: Virpil T-50 CM2, TM WH Throttle, Crosswind pedals, HP Reverb

Cowboy10uk Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I will also add here, that with the current plans for DCS Hornet, and a possible DCS F14 in the works, I would certainly be very interesting in purchasing replacement warthog grips for these aircraft. The warthog base and electrics and fantastic, so don't see myself replacing that anytime soon, but if I had an option to get different grips for the base depending on the aircraft would be a dream come true. I'm following this project very closely indeed.

Jonmarshall Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I do not reply often but I feel I need to say that I'm in for a f-18 combo and a slew replacement. If for some reason any other grips are produced for the current line up of aircrafts I'm in too. A mig-21 and a Huey combo would be awesome.
Potalien Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hey hexgyc, long time lurker here! Normally I wouldn't break the 1 month between update rule :D but I'm seriously physced for this project. Could we get a progress update as I thought we'd have seen pics this week. Thanks for this incredible service you're doing for the community and I'll definitely be ordering once I have my own wartgog !
hegykc Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 Hopefully the last update without pictures of actual prototypes. Looks like I will have to ask the admins to change the thread title to "... warthog AND X-55 compatible" 1 www.replikagear.com
cichlidfan Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Hopefully the last update without pictures of actual prototypes.

CodeToad Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Naîve question: could the slew switch operation be improved with "just" a better (longer offset) 3D printed switch cover/hat or does the actual switch itself really have to be replaced ? (Analogously to: the TM Joystick operation can be improved for some by adding in an extender) Edited January 28, 2015 by CodeToad Working on an open source "kneeboard" app (browser based, so runs everywhere) for DCS world: maps, checklists, reference, glossary, calculators.
hegykc Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Slew switch is like a mouse, it moves in a 2D plane with +/- 2mm lateral movement, so making a longer shaft won't do any good. It is also has a "brain" that does it's own calculations, so replacing it with a simple mini joystick is also not an option. It has to be quite a complex little mechanism that will translate the "mouse 2D" movement into "joystick-like 3D" movement. It's coming after the grips go into functional prototype stage. www.replikagear.com
