Ron i will ask you here and on il2 forum, i just wanted to mod my grip for LH usage which i did, love that kg12 grip even i'll go eventually for MCG for more modern combat planes and spaceships.
I have question regarding sidepanel with switches selfbuild.
I would like to build one myself using some 2position switches and few potentiometers, it will be;
-2xpositions switch for landing gear, nav lights, canopy, and 2-3 spare ones.
-Two potentiometers for radiators.
Do you have any advice which usb mainboard to use for that purpose, can i use some from old devices or should i go for teensey boards.
Thanks!

The above information only concerned the Gladiator board, as you know.
On the BlackBox is a slightly different situation. You can try to connect additional axes and buttons to the unused connectors.We are not talking about configuration in the configurator yet.
X1, X2, X5 are busy. To RG45 you can only Mars.
You can connect 2 analog axes to X3 and X10. Connector X10 should connect an old handle from the Cobra with two registers on the CD4021. And this is 16 buttons or toggle switches (depends on the connection). Agree that a lot.
If this seems unattainable, you should wait for the release of new VKB products. I assure you that at the sight of them, the lower jaw painfully hits the table :shock: . Protect your face and health :) .
p.s. sorry for my english, this is Google.
