ForceFly force feedback FPV joystick

[Actionary]

Based on a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro I guess?

[3dfpv]

Not sure what you mean, it's compatible with a number of joysticks. Most notably the G940 from logitech. Please visit nghobbies for more information about supported joysticks

[Actionary]

@3dfpv Ah, my bad. Hadn't read the description. I thought the product was the joystick itself (instead of the entire system), modified with stick actuators and radio output.

[EwaltFpv]

I have a saitek X52 Joystick (with seperate throttle) , will the forcefly work with this joystick ??

[MrSquishedsquashed]

what is the range on this?

[migser85]

will this joystick will support the G940 someday? im planning on getting that but also i can get the logitech force 3d pro, second question is if the 3d camera is compatible with fatsharks, if not maybe you can recommend me some goggles since im just about to buy my fpv equipment, thanks a lot!!

[3dfpv]

Yes it may possibly support the G940 someday. This is something we will be looking into as we are now evaluating which joysticks to add support for. If the hardware is compatible then there is a very good chance it will be supported. The fatshark glasses do not do 3D. Purchase either Headplay or EVG920 ( or similar varient - there are many).

@3dfpv

thanks for your response, i was thinkin on the EVG920E is the same as EVG920 but this has 1028X768 resolution and still 80" screen and 3d feature, i know this is even more of what i need for fpv but i was thinking to use them with my computer for movies and with your 3d cam, will appreciate your response thanks

@migser85 @migser85 I'm very very sceptical those glasses are 1024x768 it will be 640 X 480. The size measure is also not to be trusted because 80 inch at 30 feet is not the same as 80 inch at 5 feet. Every pair I have seen is 1 meter at 2 meter distance regardless of the lies on the box.

@3dfpv

ok i understand it says 80 inch screen at 2 meters, what get me confused this days is the field of view thing i dont get what it is because the EVG920 and fatsharks both says 80 inch at 2 meters but the EVG920 say 35degree field of view and the fatsharks say 45 degree i think what is that difference?

thanks alot again

[3dfpv]

The G940 is now supported and is an awesome option given the extended ForceFly support now provided for the G940.

[squatchmaster5000]

whata project! well done!

[MsZiyaad]

hello interesting job

can u explain me how do you do that

[toet95]

Can I use the ForceFly with the Spectrum Dx5e?

And if it can.

What do I need to buy?

Thanks!(Y)

[lvsupertech]

AWESOME! WHAT WILL THEY COME UP WITH NEXT?

[sechsfacher]

Does the ForceFly work with a Spektrum DX6i?

And is it able to control a 6 channel helicopter like a T-rex?

Thanks!

[3dfpv]

Yes the ForceFly works with the DX6i and any other PPM radio. The ForceFly is designed for airplane use however mixes can be programmed to fly helicopters. Unfortunately, there is no support for throttle or pitch curves so it is not ideal or recommended for this purpose. Coaxials with 4 channel controls are ideal.

Great stuff. I'm using a similar setup, SN555, 900Mhz VTX, Black Stork OSD, Easystar etc. But I'm thinking of going for a bigger plane, either Easy Glider or something similiar to carry a higher gain VTX Boost Antenna. I'm also looking into buying a second hand Jet Cockpick form a real plane for about £3000 or £4000 and setting up a flatscreen inside and flying from a "real" cockpit. What's people take on that idea? Crazy or Cool?

[dmastax1x]

@agat1973 very cool

[MrFlench]

I need one for a Saitek !

[MarceloCamargo]

I am using the audio channel (mono in my downlink) to send EZTracker data to groundstation. Is there a way to use ForceFly too, at same time?

[Guinnie]

Looks great

[OghamTheBold]

Had to check website (not here yet) - Headplay - only ones with spare batteries available

Got 2 pairs - so someone can control HD camcorder (or ailerons in my case; while I learn to fly)

Thought maybe 2 x 900 MHz Tx's on 2 channels - barring interference (got multiple receivers already for diversity)

Now I remember - it also said 3D - thought maybe - 2 cams + ground based vid interleaving circuit (apart from obviously sawing them in half and taping)

[OghamTheBold]

With 3D video (2 cams) - are 'frames' interlaced - or 'scan lines' interlaced ?

You're right - most cameras are 640 x 480 - only goggles I found with spare batteries were 800 x 600 (hope I don't get a tiny image in the middle)

I could be wrong (I made a wild guess at the time) that with 3D the 'scan lines' would be interlaced (left eye odd lines - right eye even lines)

So I thought maybe 480 = 240 left + 240 right

[3dfpv]

Unless you're a fish or a bird your brain does a pretty good job of putting the information together and you won't even notice it ;-) So forget about all the adding and dividing by two, 480 lines captured by the camera = 480 lines delivered to your brain guaranteed. The 3D FPV experience is so much better then plain old 2D that it is uncomfortable for me to fly 2D now. What make of glasses did you buy?

[OghamTheBold]

Just last week showed my brother that same 3d camera - low res - but judging distance is useful for obstacles

Not done FPV yet - got EagleTree OSD last week (more stuff cleared customs yesterday - from 6 different stores)

Saw a 2 axis force sensor - didn't opt for it yet - got EagleEyes / GPS / airspeed - mainly to help with my #1 priority - flying

My total airtime with 2 crashes is about 50 seconds - this time it's fully throttle vertical hurling

[carlosthecactus]

Wow, that's damn cool stuff!
