hegykc Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Believe me, all of your impatience combined, doesn't even come close to mine :) I am waiting for my 3d printer to arrive. It's bought, paid for and currently in assembly getting ready for shipment. 4-6 weeks delivery time, and now it's been a month so soon. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTFDarkEagle Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Oh man good stuff.. Just the thought of a plug-n-play Ka-50 stick would get me drooling...

hegykc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Sure. I have several completed models of outer shells. That means I just need hollow them out to fit in buttons/switches and electronics. That will be the easier part. The hardest thing to do are the complex shapes of the grips. As of now I have completed shells for the following: F-18 grip F-15 grip F-14A and F-14D grip and throttles Eurofighter Typhoon throttles Ka-50 cyclic and collective P-51, P-40 grip (and others that use the same type) Bf 109 grip Fw 190 grip I think that's it for now.

Scrim Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Will the throttles be Warthog compatible as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hegykc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 It would appear that they have the same type of internal setup as the stick, so I would say yes, throttles too. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrasyuk Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 3d models looking good. Can't wait to see how the product itself ends up. F15 or 18 grip is definetly of interest Grip is a twist off so that's easy swap. The throttles however is a disassembly of factory device. so I'm guess his will be personal responsibility and obviously will void any kind of warranty Anton. My pit build thread .

hegykc Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I just disassembled mine, no chance of braking anything. With a picture guide it would be a 5-6 step process, under 10 minutes, disconnecting two connectors - removing A-10 throttles - mounting X throttles - reconnecting two connectors. It's pretty basic actually. But, the left throttle has a fixed number of inputs, one button and one switch. I don't think it would be useful for any other airplane? P.S. There's going to be problems and obstacles along the way obviously. But the main thing is for something to start happening. Once I get some prototypes done, some molds, do some castings etc. Proof of concept, proof of market = someone will start noticing :music_whistling: Edited June 20, 2014 by hegykc www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktulu2 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I hope I won't make you guys repeat, but would the stick be a basi «plug and play» on the thrustmaster warthog (stick only, i guess throttle would be harder to install).

Sokol1_br Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I hope I won't make you guys repeat, but would the stick be a basi «plug and play» on the thrustmaster warthog (stick only, i guess throttle would be harder to install). Ktulu Inside Tm Warthog/Cougar/F22PRO stick grip has a "multiplexer" circuit that need be "transplanted" to new grip. So is not possible a new just bolt on "pnp" grip. http://www.simhq.com/_technology3/images/technology_174a_018t.jpg Even for 4 button KG-13 or 3 button P-51 grip. Without this circuit the Warthog dont "boot up". Sokol1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneb Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I would love a KG-13. If those chips are just standard parts and not programmed micro-controllers, it would be pretty easy to develop a schematic and produce blank board for people to solder up. g.

hegykc Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 There is no micro-controllers inside the stick, just some simple electronics. Of course the board would have to be replicated and I plan to do just that. So the stick would in fact be "bolt on" and "plug'n'play". That's the plan anyway. Also, I remember someone doing i replacement grip even without any electronics inside, still worked, but reckognized only one button. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneb Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ah, ok. The board wouldn't even need to live in the stick necessarily, especially if there was a stick extension involved. g.

Sokol1_br Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 In this topic - adapt a KG-13B grip on Warthog base - is say that Warthog dont boot without grip attached, due the internal "multiplexers". http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3502384/Re:_Modifying_Warthog_Stick#Post3502384 In case the guy use a Teensy 2.0 to handle the grip 4 buttons.

Buckeye Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 What price point are we looking at here? Or is that yet to be determined? I'd def have interest in a F-18 grip.
