Rogue Trooper Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Interesting product. I have no interest in the F-18 joystick but it looks superb.... A high quality base is a different story though. Especially if you did an apache grip for it (D or E of course)! Very interesting... I wish you luck. PS will the base use the Thrustmaster electronics and work as a mod?

Fantastic!!!! :thumbup: Looking forward to putting a Ka-50/Sukhoi and other sticks on my WH base! :D Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amigastar Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Looks very tempting. I would love to have a f18 stick. I can say this is one of the most exciting DIY Projects and use of 3d printer i have seen. I still have to look up information in this thread but will there be a programmable software and drivers for windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjsracer Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 There will my own base for these grips, much better then the warthog one. Well I will hold off buying a new HOTAS, till i can give you the money instead ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This is looking fantastic. I was very disappointed with the Warthog and am currently using just the throttle together with the G940 stick. So your news about your own base is very exciting to me. What I like about the G940 is the force feedback for realistic trimming. Do you have any plans to add a force management system to your base? I would also be very interested in a ground mounted base and a stick that bends over the seat (I have an Obutto seat) helicopter-sytle. Any plans in this direction?

Viersbovsky Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't put a direct contact friction gimbal on a 15$ piece of crap if you ask me. So yes, real gimbal with roller bearings, fully adjustable and separate forces for pitch and roll and oil dampers. Nice! One last question (I don´t want to keep you away from working on this awesome project!), since the F-18 grip has 2 buttons less than the Warthog grip, will the WH grip still work with your base (in other words, can I simply replace the base and keep the grip)?

hegykc Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) But wait, there's more... The grip has a built in, two stage, fully adjustable 150 mm / 6 inch extension. That's "built in", as in "it's in the grip itself" :D Along with a 30 degree twist offset. Everything on detents and fully adjustable. And the throttles will be re-worked so that the levers are a standalone piece, so once you install the levers on the warthog throttle base, you can disconnect and reconnect the throttle grips as you wish, without the need to go into the base each time.

aaron886 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The entire contents of my bank account are at your disposal, sir. That looks awesome. I like the extending idea, but any play/wiggle whatsoever should be avoided! That might be tough to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktulu2 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 How would target work with the new grips? would it work at all? It's not as much as a problem as for the warthog as it has less 3-way switches, but I would still like to use it with target if possible.
