Magnetic dentents for the Saitek Throttle Quadrant allowing to “feel” the flap or throttle lever position/detents when wearing the VR headset.

Saitek Throttle Quadrant magnetic detents with 3d printed holders for flaps or throttles

Magnetic detents for the Saitek Throttle Quadrant - for example for flaps, thottles equipped with detents (e.g. in CRJ). It is of course possible to use the magnetic detents without the 3d printed holder, by gluing the magnets to the throttle quadrant (real glue required - double sided tape won’t be strong enough to keep the strong neodymium magnet in position), but the holder allows disabling/enabling the detents (by removing the magnets), relocating them for different aircraft (no permanent g…

And here the throttle with detents in the full cockpit (Aerosoft CRJ):

• Hoynecomb Alpha Yoke
• CH Rudder Pedals
• 2x Saitek Throttle Quadrant with magnetic detents for “blind” operation when wearing VR headset
• DIY panel based on LeoBodnar Board
• 2x Behringer X-Touch Mini (MIDI)
  • autpilot panel + EICAS control panel
  • lower pedestal including left RTU
• Novation Launchpad Mini MK II (MIDI) - CDU

All knobs, buttons, switches, axes assigned via Axis and Ohs, which also natively supports MIDI devices and allows voice control (e.g. for enabling speed, nav and autopilot during take-off).

Main benefits:

• I can fly in Reverb G2 VR headset without using a mouse (I need it only for EFB/Dave and ocassionally for toolbar - e.g. initiating pushback) - my mouse is free to operate applications on the Windows desktop which I bring with me to VR (Pilot2ATC, Navigraph, PDF files - manuals, checklist, flight plan from SimBrief)
• entire cockpit can be assembled/disassebled in 5 min
• only one panel required DIY work, all the rest utilizes existing devices (MIDI stuff from e-bay).

P.S.
Canon printer is not part of the cockpit

Do you have a trim stl for me?

[stekusteku]

What you mean by trim? I have 3D printed:

speedbrakes and flaps levers (you may need to edit it, as the original model may have the lever walls too thin):

throttle levers:

Downloads- Logitech

The gear lever is made from toy wheel (Fischer Technik), no 3D print.

There is no trim lever on my quadrant, like in real CRJ plane.
