Hawkeye91 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've been searching and can't seem to find a good joystick to use as the radar stick for the Viggen. I want something with a two stage trigger for the T0 and T1 and has a wheel dial for the radar elevation pentameter. Any suggestions for a stick that could work for this? Seems my ideal stick might not exist :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fri13 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I would look elsewhere than obvious products. Example Logitech product for Farming Simulator. You get a three axis joystick, that you can set Z axis (twist) as mouse wheel up/down, and you have a two buttons on top of the stick. There is a big wheel at the left side too for mouse wheel. Benefit is to as well extra buttons to be used for anything else. 1 i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

aniron Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) I use a left-handed VKB Kosmosima grip on a Gunfighter base. They have just recently released a cheaper base with the same stick grip built in, the Gladiator NXT (but make sure you get the left handed version), that also has both a throttle wheel and two rotary encoders on its base. It starts at $120. Edited October 19, 2020 by aniron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye91 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 I concur.. :pilotfly: wow, both of yours are awesome. I'm unfortunately too dumb and impatient to make something like that. How did you guys make them? 3D printing for a lot of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I concur.. :pilotfly: Oooooh! Nice! Gimbal or switches? I made mine with a gimbal, but I think I could’ve used switches instead, to make it smaller and easier to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSE1234 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 wow, both of yours are awesome. I'm unfortunately too dumb and impatient to make something like that. How did you guys make them? 3D printing for a lot of it? Thanks. Mine is indeed 99% 3d-printed, all but the ball bearings and the electronics (obviously). Oooooh! Nice! Gimbal or switches? I made mine with a gimbal, but I think I could’ve used switches instead, to make it smaller and easier to fit. It's a gimbal. It's not the best one there is, but it's small enough to fit the quite small body it. The outside wall is 55mm wide both sides iirc, with a wall thickness of 5mm. 1 Viggen is love. Viggen is life.

MYSE1234 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 How much did these cost you guys to make and is it hard to learn how? I believe mine cost about €40-50 or so. I guess it depends on how much you know previously, learning everything from the start will obviously take some time, but very possible. I believe I've spent about 300-600h designing this stick. :D yeah, I know... Viggen is love. Viggen is life.

Machalot Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 How many joystick-like input devices will DCS recognize at the same time? "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICHamilton Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm currently using Logitech pedals that are connected through an old G940 FFB flightstick that has a two-stage trigger. Once I get a new desk for my gaming station where I can center mount my A-10 Warthog flightstick I plan on having the G940 stick to my right and use as radar stick!
