Pochi Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hello, I am really interested in your HOTAS Warthog Spring mod / Any news about its availability? Best regards, Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestroCrimson Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 could i suggest a module based system? Take that panel (pro aviation panel). Maybe make it where each section could be made and sold individually? And have the possibility of a full purchase. I could see me purchasing a few over time verses all at one.

SimHog Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I haven't read the entire thread but has OP mentioned or considered if he needs permission from Lockheed Martin and / or Boeing to actually make these replicas? I only ask because I have made direct contact with Bugeye and Aerotronicsllc to see if it was possible to buy the aluminium castings for the grip and throttle bodies so I could do exactly what OP wants to do ... they just laughed. They're under strict legislative controls to make their HOTAS products and they can't sell to the general public unless the buyer has gone through all necessary hoops to gain permission from the rights holder (i.e. Boeing and Lockheed Martin etc.) and the US government to obtain them. Even scrap items from the production line are recycled or destroyed. A lot of these products are governed under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) so I don't know exactly what "homework" the OP has done but I don't think it's going to be that easy. I mean - if DCS themselves, or any third party developer, make an aircraft module they need permission from the manufacturer to actually build and sell it. 2 Ryzen 9 3900X @4.6Ghz | ASUS STRIX ROG 570-F Gaming | 32GB HyperX Predator HX432C16PB3AK2-16 DDR4-3200 | Corsair Force MP600 1TB (OS and Games) | MSI 3090 Gaming X Trio | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on how closely you make it to the original. If it's just based on the actual planes and not a 1:1 replica, and as well as not using offical brands and logos then I doubt any of that legal stuff applies. (I doubt Thrustmaster did any of that with the cougar or warthog, and I doubt CH did it with their Fighter Stick) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I doubt Thrustmaster did any of that with the cougar or warthog, and I doubt CH did it with their Fighter Stick) CH wouldn't have a problem because their designs are unique and their own. With Thrustmatser they do acquire licences to make to their products and they do have a current licence with the U.S. Air Force.

TomOnSteam Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That's what I mean, you only have to make a few small changes and it becomes a "unique design". The CH stick is more or less the same as an F-16 / A-10C stick, but they've changed it enough, and they aren't selling it as an official replica so the licensing isn't required. From what I understand, the warthog throttle is only licensed for marketing purposes. It looks more credible for customers to by buying something with the US Air Force logo and branding on it - which is different to being licensed for production by the manufacturer because your using their blueprints 1:1 I'm fairly certain this will go down the same round as CH. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimHog Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yeah that will work, I just hope OP gets somewhere with this because there is a market for it.

Mars Exulte Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'm glad people are finally starting to make use of 3d printing. If licensing becomes an issue as some have said, it's simple enough to switch to semi generic designs. End result =/= the same. Lookimg forward to your progress, sir =) Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_soupdragon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) I think a lot of the angst contained in this thread is due to the fact that what started out as just a couple of different handles for the X55/Warthog has now gone off on a massive tangent with the OP now designing whole cockpit panels and god knows what. It is almost as if he has lost his original focus and is trying to diversify without actually producing anything. I would like to see him stop prototyping and just concentrate on one thing. if he had just concentrated on the handles i'm sure he would have something tangable by now if already in production which in turn would fund any further protoyping. Anyway thats my tuppence worth :) I am still hoping to get my hands on an X55 extension and maby a few different handles for it. Cockpit panels and such are well out of my remit.
