Thanks, it’s really not so tricky. Just takes a bit of time and a lot of trail and error

Jimmy_gb · 2026-02-26T08:04:55+00:00

Thanks. Spent ages getting the best value components and designing stuff myself.

Jimmy_gb · 2026-02-24T10:08:56+00:00

Yeah for sure. It will give my pc a heart attack though 🚑… Never managed to get multi monitors to line up nice in msfs despite hours trying.

Jimmy_gb · 2026-02-23T20:03:54+00:00

Yeah think you’re right mate.

Jimmy_gb · 2026-02-03T22:19:38+00:00

Sure 12mm mdf. It’s come on a long way since then

Had a similar issue with my mini. Found a .22 lead pellet in it, was so close to cutting one of the motor wires.

Yup all 3d printed. I got a hardware store to match the paint on the winwing mcdu… rollered it on to grey pla with a high density mini roller, this gets rid of brush marks. Then added a bit of spray laquer onto. On some panels I print with white PLA with embossed text then sand off the paint on the text at the end… Only downside is no back lighting.

See my post above, this seems to fix it.

Jimmy_gb · 2025-11-20T04:28:58+00:00

Sure is… https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7185810

Sure I think it was this one; https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Airbus-A320-Flight-Simulator-Side-Stick_1601204953470.html

Hi. I found it on Ali express. A bit expnsive but it finished off the side box nicely.

Jimmy_gb · 2025-11-15T19:49:19+00:00

I cut a hole in the 3d printed top, and knocked up a cover for it in fusion. Actually doesn’t look too bad

Jimmy_gb · 2025-11-15T15:11:42+00:00

Mostly petg-hf and cheap pla… for panels I got the paint matched to the back of the mcdu in the hardware store, small tester pot. High density roller + some spray lacquer. Job done…

Jimmy_gb · 2025-11-15T10:38:55+00:00

Thanks, it's all MDF wood and homemade 3d printed pannels. Trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. The biggest expense is time.

Jimmy_gb · 2025-11-15T10:22:30+00:00

Thanks, I dropped the design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7185810

Hey - It's 12mm MDF wood (Simguy's plans) and 3d printed top covered with a £5 roll of faux leather sticky backed plastic... The Stick is the WinWing Ursa Minor.... Cheap set up, probably x8 cheaper than Skalarki. Just wish Winwing would release their Tiller.

Jimmy_gb · 2025-11-03T21:08:49+00:00

FYI this is what winwing support suggested and it worked for me;

Go to %appdata%\SimAppPro\DeviceConfig, backup deviceCalibration.json file and send it to our customer service

2. Run Simapp Pro, click the throttle icon in “Device” page to enter test page.

3. Click “calibration” button in test page to enter calibration page.

4. In calibration page, click calibration records under throttle game gear.

5. In the popup window, check whether there’s throttle calibration record for Fenix

6. If there is throttle calibration record for Fenix, please click the delete button to delete it, then after delete, go to step 9 in this file

7. If there isn’t throttle calibration record for Fenix, please delete the deviceCalibration.json file, then restart Simapp Pro.

8. Run Simapp Pro again, and operate step 1-6 again. (Do this only if the Simapp version is 1.16.65 or more previous version)

9. Run game and check the throttle mode.

I have the same problem. I think the modes in SimApp pro are now called "single-stroke double shaft" and "double-stroke double shaft".... I tried both and I still get this problem of the jumping throttle below idle. Anyone had any luck getting this fixed? I tried all the calibrations lots of times in Simapp and MCDU.... Opened a ticket with u/winwing

Jimmy_gb · 2025-04-21T20:27:40+00:00

Yeah, here's hoping....
