  3. Thrustmaster rudder pedal repair

    I repaired my old Thrustmaster rudder pedals. That’s the one I upgraded using an Arduino Pro Micro before (PeerTube, YouTube) to get rid of their old D-Sub connector so this device is really old and probably belongs into a museum. I doubt I’d get any replacement parts for this from the vendor nowadays.

    Their sliding beds are made of some sort of plastic and this started to become brittle over the years. When I noticed that one side was coming apart I found several more hair fractures so I had to stop playing with the pedals for a while.

    Yesterday I went with one of the sliding beds to the Swablab, our local maker space, and considered cutting and milling new parts of wood, when a fellow maker suggested to use some leftover HPL pieces for the job.

    This was far less complicated compared to what I had in mind and I went for it. After a few minutes in the workshop I ended up with two new sliding beds that I mounted today. Worked like a charm.

    I went with Liquid Moly LM47 for some lube, simply because I have a tube of that around from working on the car. That’s grease for stuff like bearings and probably overkill for the job.

    Couldn’t be happier. The pedals are back into service and feel even better than before (probably thanks to the new grease) and I avoided once more going for expensive modern replacements. I’m also probably the only one with rudder pedals with wood aesthetic now 🤓

  8. Gestern im Racing Sim Fieber gewesen. #raceroom auf @opensuse Leap 16 gezockt. Läuft mit Steams Proton Version 10 und Gamemode sehr gut.

    Dann noch #automobilista2 auf @CachyOS mit der Cachy eigenen Proton Version und ebenso Gamemode.

    Das Ganze mit Controller und zwar dem #thrustmaster eSwap Pro. Dieser wurde bei beiden Systemen sofort erkannt und konnte mit Steam ins Spiel eingebunden werden. 🎮🏎️💻

  13. Thrustmaster have posted a very educational write-up on the "limitations" of Direct Drive hardware. I'm not sure whether this was posted on behalf of support, marketing or what, but it's still great information. thrustmaster.com/en-gb/news/li #simracing #thrustmaster

    Dit zal vast een boost geven aan #Linux als gaming platform, iets waar Linux nog onvoldoende in uitblinkt.

    Projekt wymagał kilku poprawek, ale weszły. Na oko oceniam, że będzie wszystko współgrało. Dołożenie podpórki może okaże się zbędne, a ostatnie części i tak tworzyłem na "odwal się".

  23. Der erste Erfolg im Urlaub ist geglückt. 😀👍

    Nachdem ich den Schubregler meines #Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Hotas aufgeschraubt und die Potentiometer des Mini-Joysticks mit Isopropanol gereinigt habe, ist die störende Drift nach unten weg.

    Eine ausgiebiger Test mit einer #EliteDangerous Session lief sehr zufriedenstellend. 😊

  27. Today I took apart my Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS, both the stick and the throttle. Nasty jumpy drift on both stick yaw and throttle analog stick. Fixed with some alcohol cleaning.

    Thank goodness Thrustmaster designed these in a way that you can disassemble them to atoms and put it all back together without breaking anything but your warranty terms. So many people have said that these last for maybe 50 hours, but I'm well over 200 hours in already.
