Archie Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Excellent! All you have to watch for is the extra strain on the plastic gimbals.
Fern Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Rendered the throttle and base buttons useless, but oh well. Couldn't find a way to incorporate the Swifter Jet handle into it though.
Fern Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Feels better like a real plane, but this game sucks dick to customize. No more accurate than it was before...
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Not the game's fault that the 3d Pro is a bad stick to put an extension on (low resolution potis, lots of jittering, bad gimbal design). Bought mine in desperate need because I had no money and extended it by 10cm with 15mm plumber parts. Soldering the wires was a pain but I got most buttons on the grip working which for my needs is good enought. Still the jittering is an issue that can not be simply overcome with settings. Software can't cure bad hardware.
Archie Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) When I built an extended stick for CloD a few years ago I used a Bodnar controller for the axis and button box, it was much better. I didn't bother wiring any of the old buttons in on the AV8R base. Edited October 15, 2017 by Archie
Fern Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 That's a nice stick Archie. Was it worth the trouble? Thanks for the input Stuka.
Archie Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 That's a nice stick Archie. Was it worth the trouble? Thanks for the input Stuka. It worked really well, but I didn't use it much as I prefer LW planes, and especially bombers so just today reconfigured the button box for that.
SAG Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Funny to see more people modding the 3d pro as i have i used a standard pvc pipe and some teflon as a coupling and it fit perfectly with no added wobble :D and i can still use every button i use it alongside my diy WIP pedals and my a control box i made that are also in the pictures in VR and its pretty awesome! it is a little better but i have to admit that i would prefer a better stick, i want to buy a VKB Gladiator MKII which is only a hundred dollars but there are some reviews out there that make me want to hold on on making that decision (and even if i where to take the plunge they are not available )
Beazil Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Fits perfectly Fern wins the internets for this extension. Bravo sir. I salute your efforts. o7
