Sporg Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hey Sporg, I've seen some great reviews on the 229th forums and I plan on picking one up hopefully within the next couple of weeks! I heard they offer different profiles for the various dcs modules which sounds amazing! So I'm really looking forward to it! You will be in for a treat. ;) Can't recommend it enough myself. And yes, they develop different profiles for each and every module. In different modules you can feel gear movement and weapons release under you in each side, and fixed wing AB vibration in your back for instance. They are working on different gun feeling now, depending on type and rate of fire. The important thing is that it transformed my flying in both helicopters and fixed wing to "seat of the pants". I react to feeling the increasing vibration rather than seeing it on the monitor. I hardly had any VRS or stalls since I got the seat, can fly nicer and more precise with it. And for the Huey especially, I always felt that the effects were spot on. Sorry for OT'ing a bit, just thought this gadget would go well with a good cockpit like yours. :) System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebear Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 There is a German shop who offers controls for the Huey. I use them for quite a time and am very happy with it. They are 3D-Printed and much cheaper then the Kommodo controls: https://shop.microhelis.de/UH-1D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebear Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Here is a picture of it: The only negative is, you have to solder the wires and buttons yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, how much did those controls cost you? They look great! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 About 600 Euros according to the website.

Icebear Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Both, the collective and the cyclic, are made with oil filled dampers from rc-cars, I think. Take a look at the cyclic basis and you can see them. Ohm, now I am unsure... Perhaps only the cyclic was with these dampers and the collective is with a break... But it works ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintifaxl Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 About 600 Euros according to the website. Icebear, does the collective have hydraulics, do you know? With the bases it's ~1000 EUR. :music_whistling: Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.

slimheli Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Does the cyclic stick stay in position when you leave it? Or do the springs cause it to return to center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 slimheli, Which cyclic/collective are you curious about? hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebear Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Slimheli, the cyclic does stay in the position you leave it, when it is around the center. For normal forward flight it stays in the Position for example. Bigger cyclic movements won't stay in Position. But you can adjust this by adjusting the springs.
