Re: [profile] Black Mamba + Su-27 for DCS

Nice! The software seems very powerful and allows you a lot of neat little tricks with the limited amount of buttons the Mamba grip offers! Good stuff - and thanks for sharing. :D

Re: Which one for me? Gladiator vs Pro version

Here are some photos of my gimbal I took while changing springs. This is some serious quality stuff! :)

Re: Which one for me? Gladiator vs Pro version

Well, as a Mamba MkIII user I have to say that the steel gimbal is amazing. I haven't had a smoother flight experience with any stick, and I even bough a TM Warthog HOTAS and don't use it because the VKB gimbal is that much better...

Did you sell the TM Warthog adapter as well?

Re: VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

Quick update: I hired a welder in order to customize the Obutto Ozone center-stick flight control mounts to accommodate my Mamba with its extension. He shortened the center-stick mounting tube by 3.5 inches, and brought it in more by removing the horizontal tube. He also cut the Ozone's flight stick...

Re: VKB Throttle

Yeah I really hope the throttle is a modern jet variant - it's so much more flexible that a Space specific or WW2 specific throttle. I agree. Space-stuff should come from Saitek - that's their "thing". To me, VKB should look into replicas of existing military-style hardware for their mode...

ETA for Warthog Adapter for Mamba MkIII?

Just wondering what the official ETA for the next batch of Mamba MkIII TM Warthog adapters + W cams might be? Since this wasn't mentioned in the latest VKB announcement, I am a bit concerned that I might miss out on one of those now... That said, if anyone has any left-over W adapters + cam, I'll gl...

Re: VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

Thanks Jason! I have since updated it a tad, by replacing the CH Pro Throttle with a Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle (see pic); waiting impatiently for the opportunity to order a TM Warthog VKB Adapter. ;) 2016-04-21 21.46.26.jpg PS: Yes, I cleaned up my cable-chaos and ran the cables nicely since I t...

Re: VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

That should work, and it looks like you could cannibalize the parts from the existing flight controller mount to create the new mount. Honestly it shouldn't cost too much going that route either. Worse comes to worse, if you are willing to do the cutting and prep you just need to find a welder. But...

Re: VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

Thanks for the feedback, Satyrn! Here's what I think I need to make it work: Basically, cut the default Obutto center mount from the flight control mount pack so that only an inch or so remains from the vertical tube, and then weld a flat metal piece on top of it, onto which the Mamba + extension ca...

Re: t-rudder mk III, can't get them to work in dcs world

The only time I saw only the NJOY device in the Config was after I ran the Bootloader. Did you do that by chance? If so, after you're done using the bootloader (for, e.g., flashing your device), you need to unplug the pedals from the NJOY device, and plug them back in... maybe that helps?

Re: VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

Here are some pics of my current Obutto Ozone setup; I haven't figured out a way how to use the Mamba with extension yet, even though there are some pre-drilled holes that could be used for a custom connector. Maybe some metal shop can build one for me... :) Anyway - here's my Obutto Ozone, with my ...

Re: VKB Black Mamba + Extension and Obutto Ozone?

You mustn't forget, guys, that I am trying to add the Mamba + extension to the Obutto Ozone; that image above shows the Obutto TM Warthog adapter, for a Warthog without an extension. If I used that piece of metal, my Mamba + extension would be hard to reach when flying, because it would be to tall. ...
