Shouldn't this thread be about the TECS rather than business practices? Should we attempt to keep this thread on topic?

I know the TECS is a long way off, but I'm curious if an overall size/dimension of the base has been finalized...specifically I'm curious if the underside attachment points have been set. I'm finalizing my controller mounting scheme and was wondering if the holes either mimic an existing throttle (Warthog or TWCS), or if they're unique to the TECS. Thx!

I'm afraid to say that the dimensions are 100% defined. I hope so. At the moment, the TWCS layout has individual mounting points and they are located at the bottom of the case.
But in the end it will be known only at the last stage of design. Now we are dealing with the left and right grips-this is the most difficult in this device and the rest of the layout depends on it.

Copy all, thx. I figured it might not be finalized, but it was worth a try. Cheers!

Will you guys release new blackbox for the HOTAS system?
I mean the 2 (joystick and grip) connect into 1 blackbox or HOTAS & pedal into 1 blackbox... ?

Current Blackbox can do it. No need to wait for the new version.

I assume that means the TECS will plug into the "Bus" port?

Have different ways how to combine 2 joysticks together. Can use the bus port.

I realize you have had bad experience with DIY:ers before, but could you be persuaded to release a specification/pinout for the bus port, joystick port and grip connector?
I understand there would be a way to attach a grip directly to it without passing through a base, which would be quite useful for e.g. helicopter sims.
