Congrats, on first the first great mod for the WH. I fault TM for not providing it with each WH.

That is a nice, and I must say, indispensable addition to the WH.

And I wish you a lot of orders.

Now, if someone could figure out how to fix T.A.R.G.E.T. to add a zoom function to amplify the axes' signals, then this would be even greater.

Could you be a bit more specific? I'm drawing a blank trying to come up with something that would fit under the wording of that question that isn't addressed by the scale and curve capabilities.

Ah... this could be it.

With an extended grip you will need to move the grip farther to reach the same angle of motion. The longer the grip the shorter the angular travel. What you need is a way to amplify the signal. The program function equivalent of gears.
Is that what the 'scale' function does? Amplify the signal from the sensor?

OK, I'm getting more lost.

You want to make the stick longer, but still use the same travel as stock? That much is easy - you can either crank up the deadzones or use the 'zoom' function in TARGET so that, say, 1/4 of stick throw gives you 100% output.

You're going to be giving up a few bits of precision though. Still have way more than most titles will ever need, but the precision is a main selling point.

Hi guys, I don't mean to keep peddling my wares but I have four guys wanting an extension and it's not cost effective to make them at that price unless I do at least 6.

So if there are a couple people wanting one then flick me a PM as I don't think I will get another 6 people so quick.

Thanks!

Just received mine. Thank you Metalnwood. Have it installed and flying my new A2A Spitfire. This is the best money I've spent on my joystick. If you like flying with a stick this is a must have item.

Received mine today too here in the UK, Thanks Metalnwood, great engineering and very effective mod. Apologies for copying the carbon look....I couldn't resist. (please ignore the tatty HOTAS furniture, it's going to get some love and attention soon and I now need to drop the height of the stick)
