  1. Well, I have the 3D files and the switches are regular cheap keyboard switches.

    The springs was scrounged.

    But this isn’t rocket science.

    Just experiment with the trigger, springs and at what distance you need to put the switches.

    I made a simple jig, like this:

     

    Oh! BTW, Fusion 360 works on Mac.

  2. Just look at the claimed Phoenix kills during the Iran-Iraq war

     

    There will be errors in that list, naturally. Just like in any other war. But that war has been scrutinized by external intelligence agencies as well. You can be sure that the US had a huge interest in collecting data about the performance of the Tomcat and its weapons.

     

    So, unless you claim to have a better reference... :)

  3. According to the SFI the SNURK will take any mode or sub-mode and bypass directly to the SA06 “on” requisite.

    There is no possibility for the SNURK to step between the modes.

     

    Another way of looking at it is you can’t have HÖJD or ATT without SPAK, and SNURK cancels SPAK...

  4. Is it worth upgrading to Rift-S or should one wait for "next gen"?

     

    I went from the Rift CV1 to the Rift S and I think the upgrade was worthwhile.

    You get better resolution but also better FPS since the S is only 80Hz, so 10 FPS less needed and if I use pixel density of 1 with the S, the picture is a lot better than the CV1 on 1,5 (or above).

    You can also ditch the external sensors and get better handcontrollers.

    But, as always, there are even better headsets out there.

    So if the cost vs. benefit is good enough for you, only you can know...

  5. If it disables spak, is this function designed for something like emergency stall recovery? Not sure why I would want to do this in normal flight.

     

    You don’t.

    Normal autopilot (Styrautomat SA06) mode is SPAK and the AJS 37 is normally flown in this mode. There’s really no reason to disengage SPAK mode unless there’s a failure in the SA06 system. So you normally switch SA06 modes by pressing the buttons under the glareshield. The SA06 can fail for any number of reasons as there’s a lot of servos and sensors involved. In most failure cases the SA06 will disengage automatically. The SNURK (Snabburkoppling or rapid disengage) button on the stick is for those cases when the auto disengage isn’t working, giving the pilot full authority.

  6. but the way this spring force acts on the stick is still assymetrical and this is what you feel I think.

     

    That doesn’t explain why I don’t experience assymetric forces with the kosmo sim cams.

     

    Have a look at my review and at the pics of the cams a bit further down. Were there no ”two hole” cams with your MT-50 CM2?

     

    I fly real world aerobatics

     

    Cool! What do you fly? I got my aerobatic license, but I haven’t practised the art in almost 20 years. Just flying to eat (and buy expensive flightsim controllers :helpsmilie:) these days.

  7. I use the non center cams that were provided together with the CM2, not sure if those are Kosmo.

     

    The preinstalled cams are the Avia-sim soft center cams.

     

    However the asymetry comes not from the cams, but from the design of the gimbal.

     

    Well, yes and no. The design of the gimbal creates assymetry but the cams are supposed to compensate for this, as well as regulating the spring force along the stick travel. This is why the cams are assymetrical.

    The Avia-sim cams seems to have an irregular compensation in one direction, but the kosmo cams does not.

  8. No offense but why don't you guys have data for the Viggens top speed. How can it be a proper FM simulation when a fundamental parameter like max speed is subject for discussions ?

     

    What is the top speed of a Viggen?

    It’s cited as a Mach 2+ fighter, yet, I have never heard a Viggen pilot admit to have exceeded Mach 2...

     

    There are several truths when you consider aircraft performance.

     

    * The official performance data

    * The classified performance data

    * PR

    * Actual perceived performance

     

    And then there’s the performance you are able to simulate on a personal computer.
