Simpit all folded up and put away.
Set up with throttle quadrant attached.
Set up with collective.
Specs:
Microsoft Sidewinder2 FFb with stick extended about 8". I tried to give it as little extension as possible because the longer sticks are very hard to calibrate.
The base of the Sidewinder is actually sitting on a wooden base I made. The Sidewinder base sits just under my knees/legs, that way the extension didn't have to be too long and I can use the throttle /slider on the base as a elevator trimmer.
5 axis throttle quadrant using the wiring bundle from a Logitech wingman USB joystick. 2 throttles, mixture , prop, and flaps, or 1 throttle , mixture ,flaps, prop and rudder trim. For the 5th axis ,I ran the wiring from the Sidewinders rudder (Z) axis to the quadrant. It wasn't being used because of the Ch pro rudders. All the buttons and hat switch work on the throttle grip.
The Landing gear switch was made from a momentary on/off/on toggle switch with a wooden wheel attached and wired to one of the buttons that used to be on the base of the Logitech joystick
The black box on the right side is the amplifier for the Aura Force Feedback cushion that is built right in to the seat back.
