The Ugly Yoke!


That's right folks! I glued a dogdamn gamepad to my yoke for extra buttons and crap! How much glue you ask?



A freaking shit ton!


This Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System came pre-freakin installed with a 5-10 degree dead zone in the pitch and yaw FOR EXTREME PILOTING MADNESS! Quick access to the left analog will help the fine aiming while still getting the full yoke experience.

It's so ugly, I'm about to throw up.

And I LOVE IT. How does it work in-game?
It's actually amazing! I turned the sensitivity on the gamepad down to about .10 so from about 3000m to about 300, i can pin the enemy really easily. Its like having the entire ship on a gimbal.

As for the rest of the buttons, i havent screwed with them too much. We'll see what kind of madness i can stir up.

Is that black duct tape, or electrical tape? Gotta make sure you're maintaining quality standards. In any case, it's always great to see what the drunken engineers in TEST come up with!

Black and yellow duct tape, of course. I only use the finest materials.

Holy rollerblading crap, that's actually a very nice idea, and I love the flair
But did you really had to saw through and glue a whole xbone controller? Couldn't it have been more practical (and less of a perma-mod) if you've used a glovepie'd wiimote+nunchuk setup?

Edit: Just realized it's probably not an original xbone controller upon closer inspection, but still, think of the trauma that poor thing must've suffered :<

It's an off-brand mini controller. I was just going to have the circuit board glued in place, but I figured why not have ALL the buttons? I did think about the nunchuck setup after I had thrown this bad boy together. I'll mess around with it once I start mass producing these things and selling them to korea.
