    Wow!

    Very impressive, and well made!

    Now that I have access to a Tormach770M CNC mill I have been thinking of resurrecting my collective project.
    Original I 3D printed parts, but seeing how you designed and created this has inspired me :)

  6. Disabled Some Applications Temporarily

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    Hi all,

    As topic title suggests I have had to disable some applications, and customizations, temporarily whilst trouble shooting some errors as requested by our software support people.

    The search function has also been affected by the errors, once system has been fixed I will be re-enabling the applications and cutomizations one at a time to ensure all continues to run well.

    Found my CAD drawings and models, originally I was going to make an X55 connector to slip over the original MSFFB2 stick stub.
    I canned it because of the complexity getting the electrical contact pads implemented.

    Any way, I can very easily modify the model to suite other applications very similar to the SopGrip idea.
    I can also machine it out of Delrin, much faster than 3D printing too 😉

    Read this thread if you want to see what is possible if you have access to 3D printers and cnc machines

    his seat tensioner/ G simulator is awesome :)

    Awesome work that guy has done, he has one heck of a man cave!

    My CNC is a much larger affair, will machine 1.4M x 400mm.
    I never considered machining carbon fiber, that is giving me bank account draining ideas!
    Must get back on my collective project, not having to print everything now makes it a more feasible proposition...

    Pretty sure I have that drawn up in CAD already!

    It is possible to print an adapter similar to that and have it transition to whatever diameter shaft is required, or even into the screw type connector the X55/56 and warthogs use.

    I can even machine it out of delrin or aluminum with my CNC.

    I grafted an X55 stick onto my MSFFB2 and it worked really well, there was space inside the MSFFB2 base to keep the X55 controlboard, so I was able to carve a hole and pass the USB cable for it out alongside the MSFFB2 USB cable.

    There may be photos of how I did it on here somewhere!

    On the shelf currently until I finish moving my office around:

    I have the X55 and it is good, the X56 is reportedly better quality, and has a thumb stick on the main stick too.
    X55 did have cable issues, they can break after long usage (mine did) but I was able to take the throttle apart and rewire it.

    Split throttle is useful too for multi engine, or chopper flying in DCS.

    The software is pretty good, and easy to program for those that want more from their button presses too, especially with 3 modes.

    For those that are adventurous I have a mod that can be 3D printed to mount the X55/6 stick on a MSFFB2 base too.

  18. Country Flag

    in Propaganda Room

    Posted

    Hi all,

    After the recent upgrade some users have the wrong flag for their country (seems to default to the UK).

    This is due to geoid location failing.

    Easy to change though:

    Click 'Account Settings' and then 'Country':

    You will see a drop down to select country:

    I totally forgot to check on ISP service for this new house, I never dreamed it didn't have broadband in this subdivision.

    It's been here since 1965ish not even cable tv made it here.

    but a 1/4 mile away in a newer subdivision built in the 80's has it all, and we're closer to the city limits than they are.

    When we bought our house last year I asked Spectrum/Charter if they could provide service. They said they would send out a surveyor to confirm, came back and yep no problem.

    Moved in and then was told no service, team lead for engineers came through, dropped a 400' cable and got us 1Gb internet.

    Alternative was satellite, AT&T can only provide 74Kb lol. Dark ages!
