Delta Electronics Thumbstick Replacement
-
Hi guys,
I successfully installed the delta electronics microstick in / on my HOTAS WT throttle yesterday. It’s extremely well made, installation was a breeze, no soldering whatsoever required and also I was very happy to find that the microstick now comes with the “center button” when you depress the little stick so I won’t need to get a replacement for that button, either. Thanks to the excellent installation instructions we finished the job in less than 20 minutes.
However I have found that the radar cursor now wanders across the screen randomly and I need to tap it very gently to get the cursor to rest in a single place. It’s especially bad in the up/down direction while left / right seems to be mostly fine. The original WT cursor did not exhibit this behaviour.
I’ve tried various settings in BMS regarding the x / y cursor axis deadzones and saturation under “controllers -> advanced -> avionics”, but I haven’t found the “sweet spot” yet that will allow the radar cursor to rest in its screen positiion easily. I’d be most grateful for any advice on which settings to use (TARGET is not an option as I’m using the device in DX exclusively).
There’s no way I’m going back to the old “pimple” that is the WT throttle microstick, so this needs to be solved quickly
Thanks in advance & all the best,
Uwe

Did you run the calibration tool?

Hello Gastone,
no I haven’t as the stick seemed to work OOTB checking the throttle in the control panel. I’ll give it a go tonight and report back. Thanks for your suggestion!

waiting in agony for the outcome!!!

Are you thinking of ordering one, too, Arty?

Can this be upgraded to accommodate the Cougar TQS ministick in any way? Seems like a reasonable fit on first glance…
EDIT: let’s ask:o
-
Will this work on a Cougar throttle?

https://deltasimelectronics.com/pages/install-instructionsPerfect, that did it.
I have no idea if that stick will fit into the Cougar throttle, but I’d wager it doesn’t or at least the installation procedure (which was rather painless on the WT) will be quite different.
All the best & thanks again for your help!
