Why imagine???

My Dragon wife got me a HOTAS set up to play mechwarror 5 with and Ive been loving it! Its so satisfying to use!

My copilot has also been enjoying it too. She rubs her head against the throttle encouraging me to complete the mission faster and give her more scretches

I made a buttonboard thing.

It's for playing games with, innit.

I'm also working on a better, upgraded version. Updates on that soon.

Originally, I posted the development of this on Hackaday. I'll be mirroring those posts here on this blog now.

Special thanks:

A special thanks has to go PCBWay, for providing me with free PCBs (and discounts on PCBs when I ask for too many of them, because this project is voluminous).

I would also like to thank my girlfriend, who gave me enough money to buy the first set of electronics I needed to make version 1 of this project. It was very expensive.

I wonder if I can control some mech combat games with my HOTAS. I mean both mechs and planes work with a throttle and stick (Depending on universe) and some even have rudders. It could work... fuck now I have to see if I can

Don't think I've posted it here, but my new flight stick from WinWing arrived Thursday

And goddamn does it improve my flight siming experience

This game is actually way better with twin sticks.
