homepage Forums Technology Flight Sim Controllers My engine control unit and mechanization

i would like to order one of your throttle units based on your 109 +111 designs BUT due to the space constraints of my sim pit it would have to be the same width as a thrust master wart hog throttle it could however be a bit longer than the warthog, also the side would have to be clean of switches and dials. would love to buy one from you i've liked your work for some time, i will have to send you photos of my set up by email as i have not yet learnt how to post proper photos on this forum would this be acceptable ?

thanks for your time GVL224.

Hello.

So it will be more convenient.

I want to ask your opinion, is such a revision of the main lever will be in demand?

If someone don't understand the purpose of this "red L lever" in the drawing:



The red lever under throttle grip is for bi-pass the the stop/detend near end or throttle course.

This "stop" purpose is simulate the 'gate'* of some WW2 era throttles that need be overcome for engage boost/WEP, similar of some modern jet's the "afterburner" detent.

The mechanism purposed is based on the one used in Mig-21 throttle lever for by-pass the stop before afterburner range, is choose because don't require changes in the other parts of the throttle.



Now with WW2 games using more detailed engine operation, the Emergency Power is controlled by throttle course instead that generic "gamey" WEP key of early IL-2, for example in Bf 109 of IL-2 Bo'X the rated power is up to around ~83% of throttle course, after this is engaged the Emergency Power.

The purposed "stop" is for avoid player engage Emergency Power inadvertently.

* The 'gate' in WW2 era throttles generally require force the throttle lever for left for by-pass a small 'steep'. Example of this 'steep' in Hawker Typhoon throttle.

Force throttle lever for left in domestic throttle is not practical, in the "heat of the battle" the virtual pilot probable end tilt the entire throttle.

Sokol1, thank you.

Hi GVL did you get the photos can you make me a throttle? i would like to try the new throttle lock too if possible

On the basis of "RUD Me109".

Hi.
Today I received parts for one copy of the supplement to the mechanics.
Write to me on my mail, I check it more often ...

Individual order.

Here is an ore (Throttle) on an individual order.

My friend has this throttle, but can't get the axes to calibrate properly. All axes are erratic even during the calibration process.

Disregard, we had an issue with a USB hub. It's fixed now.

Yes, 90% of the problems are due to problems with voltage over the UBS.
