    Warthog Hotas Cougar Add-on

    Final product Once I get slightly longer screws, I will be attaching the base plate to the bottom of my Warthog, making it all one unit. This adds a lot of extra control ability without having to go to the keyboard or really even lift your hands off the throttle. Things like scanning width...

    Warthog Hotas Cougar Add-on

    Thinking about it, I should probably have made a cutout in the riser assemble to give the control board a place to nest into. Unfortunately, that would also entail a major design change to the way the risers are angled and the distance the risers travel from the throttle before angling up, so I...

    Warthog Hotas Cougar Add-on

    added in the roughed out risers, the shaped risers, and the riser assembly. I am using a mortise and tennon joint for the riser brace. I also have everything held in place to make sure everything fits. Looks good. Now to break down, sand, assemble, then stain

    Warthog Hotas Cougar Add-on

    One other thing that could do this and that is a laser cutting machine. I know there is a person who builds models of SC ships with a 3D printer and a laser wood cutter. By layering some wood cutouts, this could also be used to generate a bezel, riser, and baseplate for these controls. As far...

    Warthog Hotas Cougar Add-on

    This is absolutely something you could use a 3d printer for. If you have metalworking tools and skills, you could just as easily make the control backer board, baseplate and risers out of sheet metal, aluminum plate, etc. I don't have a 3d printer, and I love working with my hands on...

    Warthog Hotas Cougar Add-on

    After looking at the Black Hog B-Explorer item...and my wife catching me doing so, I was told to find a less expensive way to add on additional controls. After looking, and since I already use the Warthog HOTAS system, I decided to add on the Cougar controllers. These come in a 2 pack, with...

    Rock Report Revival - Coming Soon

    A topic I would love to see. How to make decent UEC/hour if you don’t have a load of secret and special rocks that only you know about. In general, how to making mining decently profitable hour after hour instead of a grind looking for one or two rocks.

    Citizen 404, its almost spring time, STOP THE SNOW!

    Just got our first real snow of the season...should have broken out the snowblower instead of shoveling by hand. New puppy LOVES the snow. I've heard the expression Happy as a pig in mud...I think an even better one is happy as a retriever puppy in snow...

    Dual Hotas---HELP

    Don’t make the switch to dual stick, etc right now. With the new flight mode coming out at the end of March/early April, you should see how that impacts you and then make a change.

    I think this is a universal truth about bbq

    Grilling does not mean BBQ. That said, the most emphatic BBQ die hards are in the south eastern US, and the different BBQ diehards of Texas. BBQ means slow roasted pork, either the shoulder, ribs, or whole hog. Smoke is almost always involved, but some try to get away with not smoking it...

    Am I the only one who sees a polar bear in the Freelancer MAX engine?

    The engine bear is that they use instead of hamsters in SC. They run on the habitrail to keep things powered up.

    This is what I did-- what should I have done?

    Things like this happen. Unfortunately, sometimes people see humor differently. While the person who made the original post may have thought it was hilarious, and indeed, his pack of friends would as well, if only to keep him from flipping out, others did not, including you. It’s best to try...
