Toni Carrera Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Hi All, As you know, the grips on the TM HOTAS are smooth. Does anyone know of a company that does replacement texture pads that can be overlaid in order to provide a rougher sort of texture. I have seen something similar to what I required on the following video; You can see the textured looking throttles in the left had side of this video thumbnail I would appreciate any assistance on this, Oh, If anyone know where to get a good set of throttle uplifters also, that would be helpful too Thanks Edited June 6, 2021 by Ice Rhino Spelling Mistake Toni Carrera (Ice Rhino) ThrustMaster HOTAS Warthog Throttle & A10C Stick, ThrustMaster F/A-18C Stick, ThrustMaster TFRP Pedals, ThrustMaster Cougars x 2, fitted to CubeSim USB Screens, TrackIR 4 Active LED & Cap Reflector, Stream Deck XL Intel® Core™ i7-5820K 12 Core Processor, 32GB RAM, 1 x 500GB SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD, 1 x 1TB SSD 4 x 4TB Western Digital Mechanical. 2 x ASUS GTX 1080's SLI, ASUS 29" Ultrawide flanked by 2 x 22" IPS Monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qzxjkvb Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 As lame as it might sound, I think anti-slip tape (search on amazon) might be just what the doctor ordered. I was there - AG2, CVA-41, CV-63 1972-1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I bought skateboards adhesive tape, it´s like sanding paper. After two years, some parts of the coating have thinned, showing some wear which I somehow like However, your left hand rubbing constantly against the sanding part creates some thin dust, powder like black stuff which reaches everywhere within the throttle, inner parts of the throttle rail included. The original idea I think came from customized grips for pistols and guns. i5 8400 | 32 Gb RAM | RTX 2080Ti | Virpil Mongoose T-50 base w/ Warthog & Hornet sticks | Warthog throttle | Cougar throttle USB | DIY Collective | Virpil desk mount | VKB T-Rudder Mk IV | Oculus Rift S | Buddy-Fox A-10 UFC | 3x TM MFDs | 2x bass shakers pedal plate| SIMple SIMpit chair | WinWing TakeOff panel | PointCTRL v2 | Andre JetSeat | Winwing Hornet UFC | Winwing Viper ICP FC3 - Warthog - F-5E - Harrier - NTTR - Hornet - Tomcat - Huey - Viper - C-101 - PG - Hip - SuperCarrier - Syria - Warthog II - Hind - South Atlantic - Sinai - Strike Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Carrera Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 OK, well, I guess, Amazon here I come. I can understand the liking of the wear pattern, sort of gives it some authenticity of an actual working office Thanks to you all, much appreciated Toni Toni Carrera (Ice Rhino) ThrustMaster HOTAS Warthog Throttle & A10C Stick, ThrustMaster F/A-18C Stick, ThrustMaster TFRP Pedals, ThrustMaster Cougars x 2, fitted to CubeSim USB Screens, TrackIR 4 Active LED & Cap Reflector, Stream Deck XL Intel® Core™ i7-5820K 12 Core Processor, 32GB RAM, 1 x 500GB SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD, 1 x 1TB SSD 4 x 4TB Western Digital Mechanical. 2 x ASUS GTX 1080's SLI, ASUS 29" Ultrawide flanked by 2 x 22" IPS Monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Carrera Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Thank you.

Dang3r Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 You're welcome. Yeah, its pricey for those pieces. Anyone got experience with this add on here? Seems to be simply added to the lever but the cable baffles me and I have no idea where it comes from the base. 1 WS: i9-9900K@5.0Ghz, MSI Z390, 32GB RAM@2166, MSI RTX2070S X Trio, TM HOTAS WARTHOG, 2 TM COUGAR, Saitek Pedals, Open Cockpit Fighter Radio, XL2746S NB: Acer Predator Helios 16, i9-13900HX@5,4Ghz, 32GB RAM DDR5, RTX4080, 2TB Hynix Platinum PCIe NVMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it's going to be its own usb controller, with its own wire all the way back to USB A. 1 ___________________________________________ ASUS Strix Z490-E, i7-10700K, Corsair Vengeance 32GB Ram 3200MHz, ASUS Strix RTX3080, Corsair 465X case 32" 4K, TM Warthog Stick/Throttle, Winwing Orion Rudder Pedals, Cougar MFDs, Winwing Combat and Takeoff panels, Rift S, Tobii Eye Tracker 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBStu Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 This stuff is a bit on the expensive side but works well. 'Granulate' is like sand paper. Rubber is much nicer long term. TALON Grips DIY 5" x 7" Material Sheet (talongungrips.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
