Amazing work! Please let us know at afvsim.com if we can help in any way with interfacing.

We only manufacture training versions of the original equipment. Average cost for a gunners control handle is 2k GBP excl. taxes. Seems expensive, but the OE can be 5-10 x this cost. Or not available at all. If we had an order for several hundred units, the cost would reduce dramatically, but our average order is for about 10.

ITAR can even cover basic parts, such as nuts and bolts.

DACO. High quality original equipment manufacturer.

We do. They also have to complete an End User Undertaking (EUU) 17-mil-goods-ogel-consignee-undertaking-template.odt

From the UK Military List: 'ML14 - Specialised equipment for military training or for simulating military scenarios, simulators specially designed for training in the "use" of any firearm or weapon specified in ML1 or ML2, and specially designed components and accessories therefor.' The control handles are not secret classified items, just controlled export items. AFV Sim are registered to export under; Open General Export Licence - Military Goods, Software and Technology: Government or NATO end use. and; Open General Export Licence - Military Goods, Software and Technology. The second licence permits us to export to any end user in a list of destinations - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, USA.

Has anyone obtained a price from SCIP Engineering? They first came to light on this forum May 24 2016. https://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/4340-sb-pro-pe-workstation/page/3/

Also, the U-HID boards can be connected together and assigned their own ID's, up to a limit of 8 board. Potentially 8 x 50 signals. In practice, the ID's in Windows get a bit flakey after 5 or 6 boards, but I'm told this is a Windows issue.

A simple design using 6 push switches and 6 toggle switches. This will give you 18 signals using 2 position toggle switches. With a custom design, you can choose your own type and quantity of switches and arrange them however you want. Contact AFV Sim if you want the .STL files to 3D print this design.

We got mechanical low-res encoders to work with the U-HID boards. The boards also support LED's.

I'd recommend the U-HID boards as these can be programmed to act as a keyboard. The Leo Bodnar boards are good, but are recognised by Windows as Joysticks. Steel Beasts will only allow one Joystick to be used (unless you use third party software which looks like a pain in the arse to set up) Similar switches used in the RealGear RACEpro Button Box can be sourced on eBay for a few dollars each. You can print your own box if you have access to a 3D printer. If you don't have the tools to design your own box, email AFV Sim and we'll send you a few ready made designs. If you want to design your own box, send us a sketch with a few dimensions and we'll design one for you.

It's a shite cut and paste face swop picture, using a stock image of a skinhead on a Vespa. Sorry to have bumped this infantile thread.

Nice work! 😊
