My love for the F16 style throttle continues…

… and this time it’s the ancient, all plastic TM TQS!

I’ve upgraded the main throttle axis to hall sensor, using 3D printed parts, Allegro 1324 hall sensor and N52 magnet.
Powered by Leo Bodnar BU836A + matrix board. All 32 digital inputs, 4 POV and 8 analog axis are fully utilised.
Acrylic panels are laser cut/marked. The fonts are not perfectly white, but serve the purpose well.
I especially love the F-ACK and MASTER CAUTION industrial switches… long smooth firm actuation, loud CLICK. I find myself mashing them just for the heck of it LOL

This is WIP…but it’s 95% done. Just need to shorten the bottom row of 4 screws so they don’t stick out.
Not shown in the above pics are 2 additional push buttons + 3-way pinkie switch on the throttle grip, and a PSP ministick replacement for the red “eraserhead” cursor slew. The ministick performs well in testing, but needs a large dead zone.

In my design, switches like the LASER ARM/MASTER ARM and autopilot switches are excluded because I feel they are best located as a separate MISC PANEL button box.

I feel this modded TQS looks much cooler than my Cougar mod…what do u guys think?

Will update with more pics soon!

This is everyone’s father, that’s when it all started!
I have one of these, it’s all dismantled!

@jayb said in Lost ability to take screenshots in 3D:

Hello,

I am unable to take screenshots with the PrtScr button on my keyboard. It has worked in the past. I suspected an nVidia overlay to conflict but disabling that did not help.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what to check or look for?

Thanks,
JayB

Hello!
Please see if this helps!!
Alt + Print Screen keys
When using the “Alt + Print Screen” command, a screen capture will be made only of the page that is active, disregarding the Windows Taskbar in the lower corner. The print will be stored in the Windows clipboard and can be pasted into an image editing software or another app using the command “Ctrl + V”.
Alt + D keys
The shortcut “Alt + D” is not activated when the keys are pressed, but with a delay of 1 to 5 seconds after the action. Thus, this alternative is ideal to take a screenshot of a later time, or to start recording the screen in Windows.

Hello,@justonce01 ,how are you?
Very interesting this tool of yours!
Thanks for sharing!
Stay safe and stay tuned!

@mystic_j
Not all the questions, but a frightening lot of them. They need to specify what Block and Engine they are referencing… I saw a lot of questions that “used to be true, but doesn’t work like that anymore”. They also need to specify what OFP their data is from, because their sh-… stuff… appears to be pretty dated. CZ, RALT, ALOW, MMC used to work like that, but have been changed… plus many more.
