Smoke_Eater Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I finally started actually building something, after a few years of watching others build awesome pits. I have decided on a A-10c pit, as close to real as possible, within reason. The first small , humble step consists of a real A-10a throttle, screwed to a piece of wood. The throttle was modified to resemble an A-10c throttle (added boat switch, 4-way mic switch, 4-way collie hat, replaced broken slew sensor with PS2 style mini joystick) I used an old Saitek Cyborg EVO joystick and two EG-Starts USB input cards to interface with the throttle. This project is expected to span a few years, but it's a labor of love. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke_Eater Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Where did you score a real A-10a throttle? That's awesome! I purchased it from https://www.flighthelmet.com/category/ACPE.html for about $250. They don't always have one available, so keep an eye on their stock.
