I saw Blauk had a pretty interesting setup lol, any good pictures of your rigs?

You lika the joysticks eh !
-
A joystick with the trickest pots and a realistic long throw would be impressive.

i will cheer to that.

does a guy who GVs most the time need a dual throttle control ?
-
It'd be useful as independent track controls if we ever got the ability.

Check out Blauks setup this is what I meant.
Dudes got that thing Tricked Out

Except tracks aren't controlled by the throttle which is why we will probably never get independent track control.

I guess on/off track brakes might be what we'd get. Dual throttles would be great for true clutch/brakes tho.
-
From left to right I have a throttle quadrant, a home built dual throttle, a G15 keyboard that does all my macros (including killing/restarting engines, and .ef), my pedals on the floor, and a CH Fighterstick.
My wife already hates AH as it is, as much as I would love to build a simpit I think I'd end up being divorced.

Sticks and stuff :)

Del, this is what you do....
Take up bar hopping! Then make a deal with the wife, "I'll stop bar hopping, if you let me build a simpit, it will keep me home and off the road"
I've had my simpit for a few years now and the beer is cheaper when you buy it in bulk :aok

I think this thing is about 11 ft. long.

well if HTC was to offer it, I am sure people could make use of one of the "modes" for this particular function and the throttles ( both ) being pushed forward would provide the forward motion and speed? perhaps? you just wouldn't need your joystick except for firing the guns I would think.......

NERDS

Well they may be nerds but they are spending their time and resources on something they enjoy doing. Of course the same thing could be said about people who listen to lady gaga or the jonas brothers.

Love the triple CRT setup there Dawger. Reminds me of the antiquated contraptions we'd come up with at the computer/engineering/physics lab at my high school. Like dual CRTs hooked up to an Atari 800XL...
-
For GV's a way to set rudder pedals for clutch/brake would work, then use throttle, and joytick for steering,
on Rudder pedals z axis for "clutch" and "toe brakes" for brake pn each track.
I think that would work :aok

I have an actual F-4 Phantom stick (B-8 grip with no handguard plus full stick assembly) and have that uses a Microsoft Precision Pro 2 USB stick to interface with the computer.
I have not tried powering up the real-life stick shaker, but if it works, I am sure I could make it run off of "force-feedback" signals to get its original function to work: stall warning.
All buttons and thumb hat are fully functional, including the nose-gear steering level mounted on the stick shaker box.
This is an older photo that does not show the relays used to interface the stick's button wiring with the joystick board.

This probably close to what your thinking about

How did you add the resistance..like caused from a spring on a normal gaming joystick?
-
That's not it but the Hall bits are excellent.. Bookmarked, thanks.

I want to get a setup from these guys... wife says i gotta wait till my current one dies though...

I work for my parents currently in a metal fab shop, I bet you I could make a sim cockpit exactly like any airplane except for the glass canopy thats outta my league.

Yes you can. Only factor is how much one wants to spend. Single off fabrication means all tooling and setup is piled onto one item. If 100 are oredered then tooling and setup is spread across all units making it more cost friendly.

I think I might make one but then i'll officially be a NERD.

Presently I only have one source of resistance: the rubber seal at the front of the tube, which makes the stick go forward when released and resists pulls to the rear.
Left/right inputs have no resistance.
The real stick used a bob-weight system to simulate stick forces since hydraulics elimnated all feel.
More g's put more force on the bob-weight.
When the F-4 was parked, the stick could be moved freely to any position and would stay there.
I bought some springs to provide light centering forces for left-right, but have yet to make time to install them.
I actually like the precision and feel of a long throw stick with no centering forces!
