@Oldschool61: not really a nerd.

Today it's really easy to do this. All you need are 3 Potis with 3600°/100kOhm an old USB-cable and a Joywarrior-modul for 8 or 16 buttons.

I did this once with my good old Thrustmaster Attack-Throttle to bring it into modern times, since there where no more drivers for it.


The expensive part are the potis (3x15€). No wonder why Saitek only build one trimmwheel.

PS: I have still to decide for 8 or 16 buttons.

O/T for this thread sorry, but Kodoss, it sure would be good if you did a build log with pictures when you make this controller!

Thanks Luthier. Appreciate all your hard work.

well not ths friday nor the next.
SOW willay dorment untill.
To my sorrow the sim isn't generating any crash dump files other wise i would surly have sent them.
As it is i Bought the sim knowing it wasnt finnished but i think its no mean thing the developers are undertaking.
They came true with il2 in a fasion i think no other developer has done.
So they earn my support and I wish tem well.

Tree_Uk has already been seen on line.

It's a pitty COD isn't stable on his system because he was really getting into it. It must be extremely frustrating having a sim with so much potential, but not being able to run it for any length of time.

I'm glad it's working for me.

First things first, Although I believe that this particular and other image effects contribute to the immersion of the flying experience it, is far more important tho look at the graphic engine in terms of performance/stability rather to it's contents in terms of effects. There are several issues far more important to deal in the mean time. e.g. performance/stability increase, buildings poping/disappearing and sluggish smoothness flying low over villages/cities, lack of AA, shimmering shadows and of course those annoying lines on the horizon AMD users are experiencing.

After getting a bullet prof graphic engine, then "we" can start worrying about puting it more realistic/beautiful to our eyes.


Regards.

I reckon! Ever look at yourself in the mirror with your FT/TrackIR set on?

Not intentionally, but I have answered the door with it on!

You seem to be into potis and that stuff?
Speaking of Saitek: As I have two of those x52-bastards, I decided to disassemble one throttle. Those potis inside look rather cheap and the spiking annoys the hell out of me.
Now, the question is:
Are they available in higher quality, if so, where can I get them and finally: will they be compatible with the saitek software/PCB?
Thx.
