Title: Greatest CH FighterStick mod ever!
Post by: HomeBoy on October 26, 2007, 08:47:16 AM

Here is some work we've been doing over at the CH Hangar (http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php) ...  

It's called the FrankenForce (http://snomhf.exofire.net/frankenForce/intro.html)  and once you've used one, you'll never go back to a stock FighterStick again.

Enjoy!

Beautiful writeup Homeboy.  Now I know why you havn't been flying.  :)

I can vouch for the pluses of the Frankenforce.  Homeboy built one for me and I wouldn't want to go back to the standard Fighterstick.  :aok

Ok JB,
Sorry, I don't quite get what's so hilarious about this.

What stick exactly is being destroyed?

As for spending "that money",  the Logitech stick can be found for less than $20 and I've gotten reports of guys finding the FX stick for $20 or less.  That's about $40 to do this mod (assuming you have a FighterStick already).  I call that pretty darned economical.

Heh, I enjoy a good laugh too.  I just can't figure out what's funny about this.

Maybe I'm a little dense today.

! JB

The FrankenForce is made up of three separate joysticks:

    * The CH Products Force FX stick
    * The CH Products FighterStick or CombatStick
    * Some sort of Force Feedback stick such as the Logitech Wingman Force 3D (the only one I've tried) or the Saitek Evo Force.

If I hadn't gotten my CH stick at the con I would never be able to afford 1 let alone multiple CH sticks.

add the expense of mess ups experimenting and creating these things, how many CH sticks have you actually gone through over the past oh 3 years?


It just cracks me up that someone would buy a $150 stick, then rip it apart, and piece it back together. it obviously voids the warranty, so if something goes wrong you are out of luck.

I don't see it as any more hilarious than someone in the game who doesn't know you can get a Fighterstick for under $100.

Money aside, and it's ours, not yours, Homeboy has done an impressive piece of work.   What's the point in ridculing what he's done?
