Cheb2006 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Recently, a lot of different flight stics are avalible, for a greater immersion to the gameplay of the flight simulator, but that I have not found any replica of the IL-2 spade grip ... With minor changes, it was used on I-16, LAGG, MIG-3 and LA-5. We have started to build the model for using in flight simulators, with basic mounting and avilibility to using it on the Warthog base. For now, we already have mechanical model, we are will test in the sim when som electrical parts will be delivered from china. Also we have no planned springs, so used what we can found. Here is some renders: And photos: Original russian thread is here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/6584-zabytye-rusy-ruchka-lopaty-ot-lagg-il-2-mig3-la-5/ Our KG-13 grip model is here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/23860-kg-13-kbtt-another-one-look-replica/page-3 3 5

Marvel Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Wow!! Very cool! My congratulations :good: Marco
Jade_Monkey Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 That's great! Im assuming it's compatible with the Virpil base (same pins as warthog right?). What's the finalized color scheme?

It have plug compatible with Warthog, never tested with Virpil base before. About color scheme - it is discussable. I like green, but it could be black like this: 1

Sokol1 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) That's great! Im assuming it's compatible with the Virpil base (same pins as warthog right?). Yes, any grip that work in Warthog/Cougar base work "PnP" in VPC or BRD bases. "PnP" = Screw the grip in the base and go play - no need dismantle grip, install electronic and mechanical adapters, update firmware and profiles like is required for VKB bases.

BP_Lizard Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 This is amazing! Any estimate on how much it’ll cost when it goes into production?
Cheb2006 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I redrawed several parts. Were hard to decide which option to choose, stopped on the version of the levers of the hooks according to the drawings of IL-2, not MIG, as well as pressure plates now looks like on ILs of the beginning of the war. the upper button holders were completely redesigned (originally was sketch) and now are close to the original. If everything will goes well, then next week I'll try to cast some small aluminium details. Edited March 14, 2018 by Cheb2006 1 3

You are not the first, who interested. We are need time. My friend, that will cast aluminium is very busy now. And it is too cold in the Moscow now. If it will be about 0c degrees next week we will try to cast gashets, fixer and top button holders, i'm alreafdy finished forms for it. If it will be suxcesfully, i will prepare form for body. Gashet arms are on factory cutting. And... there will not be plastic version for close future. Only metal, as original. 1
Cheb2006 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Posted August 15, 2018 I recently dug one IL2 spade grip... :))) 2
Cheb2006 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Posted August 24, 2018 So, this is the result of the three weeks hard work... (1 houre before and 1,5 hours after the main work) Tomorrow i will cast intercomm button as well... Here is video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Z31EU7NaE And some pictures: The next step will be housing for brakes with VPS interface board and magnetic sensor. 3 1 2
Cheb2006 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Posted August 24, 2018 And.. don't miss video.. link is upthere..
1CGS LukeFF Posted August 25, 2018 1CGS Posted August 25, 2018 @Cheb2006, that is really impressive, good job!
LLv44_Kanttori Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) That looks cool! Why you don't use Baur's BRD gimbals and long shaft with it? Table joysticks are toys, I recommend floor mounted sticks with these bases... Edited August 27, 2018 by LLv44_Kanttori

Table joysticks are toys, I recommend floor mounted sticks with these bases... Current placemet is just for my convience only. Basicly it will be placed on VPC base or BAUR, i told about it. VPC base support analog axis on stick, so it is possible to use analog brake. For the Thrustmaster bases it will be only with extention tube and trigger brake, or additionlal board for analog brake with separated connetion to the PC.

Cheb2006 Posted October 19, 2018 Author Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I'm sorry for so long time without news.. A test of the buttons in IL2 Battle of Stalingrad showed that the fire triggers in game not corresponding to the original IL2 flight expluataion guide. In the game the upper one trigger for machine guns, and the lower one for the cannons. But by original exactly the opposite. I don’t have a Warthog base now, I gave it to a person who promised to made metal adapters for me ... I can’t wait when he finish it. So I had to put it on a plastic adapter and connect it without the Warthog, so for a while there is no way to fly Do not forget to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4OBTW1RQSo&t=16s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygr0YZ3Qy8g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCUISiP_vdI Edited October 19, 2018 by Cheb2006 8 2 2
1CGS LukeFF Posted October 19, 2018 1CGS Posted October 19, 2018 Great work. ? Wish something like this was available for the VKB Gunfighter.
Danziger Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Are you taking orders? I would love a MiG style spade grip!
Cheb2006 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Last news... 1. Finaly got my new metal adapters for М36 Х 2 thread. 2. Made extender, to get correct ergonomic Spade Grip position. Not yet recieved thread cutting tools, but it will look like this: Main tube - 30Х1 и Ends - 40Х5. Material - aluminium Д16Т with aviation sertificate 3. Finished Grip for MARK_II cocpit. It is not for Thrastmaster base, so placement looks different. On this grip was made some thins, that could not be made at the beginig, because some elemets is very hard to found in Moscow. correct Fire Triggers axis, Nuts with split-pins, New fork for pneumo valve pressure imitation, painting with airbrush, titles made with patterns. Brake link was also remade. 3 1 3
Cheb2006 Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 Finished extender tube. I'm not sure should i paint it or not... 1 1
Cheb2006 Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 If somebody wants bluepints of extender, i can share it...
kissklas Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Neat! Not sure if I would paint it. Looks quite good in metal. Now the bare metal will kind of emphasize where the handle ends, and neck begins. If the front panel of the handle went down the neck like in the real cockpit, I think I would paint it though, since then the whole thing would be more a single unit.
Sokol1 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Exceeding work. Just need a better joystick base, e.g. VPC T50 CM2, WarBRD. Edited April 10, 2019 by Sokol1

Cheb2006 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Posted April 18, 2019 Got my WarBRD base and WarBRD grip. It's amazing! I will finish placement for it and post images
