[simpits-tech] Directx input

[Joseph Fagner]

Whoa!!  You are using a real F-16 throttle grip?   Did I read correctly that
you have built a circuit that takes the data from the real microstick (ala
transducer) and converts it to a readable signal (ala POT)?  Would you mind
sharing that circuit with us.  I have a real throttle grip that I'd like to
use and the biggest hurdle was trying to figure out how to use the original
microstick transducer.

Yes and yes ;)

 

EPIC can do what you are describing - that's how we have our throttle arms
hooked up.  We built a custom amplifier for the microstick in the MILSPEC
throttle grip to provide a 0-5V deflection as you move the control - makes
it look just like a pair of joystick pots - really works nicely.  Makes the
Cougar microstick look very sorry indeed.

 

We have 21 analog axis controls hooked up at the moment and all are working
all the way into Falcon4.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

Oke is there a way to convert custom knobs into directx input ?

 

Except for the known solutions like the cougar, gamepads etc.

 

Now with all those directx inputs available i started wondering if i could
get my origional throttle to

work with directx instead of connecting it to a keyboard emulator such as
x-keys.

 

Second to that it there anyone out there that has the radar cursor switch
working ?
