Call me a tinkerer. Hands-on projects related to flight sims.
I've been tinkering with mechanics and electronics for as long as I can remember, and can't imagine doing anything else with my time. My love for flight sims started in the early nineties when flight sims became more mainstream even though needed a "high-end" system for the time.
If I am not in my office-simpit you will find me in my workshop or in the garage as these are my places to find inspiration and peace. It's also were I have created the many mods for my simpit.
I am so excited that you've landed on my UA-cam channel page and are interested in joining my community of flight sim enthusiasts!

Why the Wobble? - WINWING F-16EX Viper Grip
Thank you for this, was a bit intimidated to take my throttle base apart to check wires as my right throttle has stopped working. Unfortunately both 4 pin and 6 pin wires are secure and removing them and plugging back in did not help :( I appears the right throttle is defective on my Orion 2 HOTAS base after a couple hundred hours of use. Now mind you, I do not mess with the throttle that much as for many of those hours it was stationary with ATC engaged. WINWING customer service has been very responsive so far, will see where this goes.
This is so sad, I just got into his amazing videos❤ RIP and God bless his soul❤
Thank you for this. I’m expecting my viper throttle tomorrow and I was not aware of this. Sad they are not able to build quality into these pricey models 😢
Tank you
RIP /salute
Man I miss your videos, Hope you still fly around up there, or where ever you are!❤
I love watching your super skills. I just need to mount my Orion 2 SOMEHOW!
Hi, hope you are well. I have bought an Orion ver.1 F-16 throttle used, however the throttle arrived with the notorious design fault occurring at the base of the cables (a potential fault only suggested and warned about and not shown in most reviews). The right cable is exposed at the passthrough where it flows under into the base, the wiring can be seen though the broken insulation. I can see (apparently in tact, red, white and black wires and then green, blue and yellow wires. The green and blue wires look to have been cut to me, perhaps with fine diagonal wire cutters actually, clean, the copper is not really frayed or broken by stress. Either way, they are severed. I've tested the throttle in DCS with the F-16 and all Switches and Axis still register, as well as testing with Xinput - all seems to function, luckily? Since these wires are cut/broken and don't seem to be showing a problem, could you tell me what these are for and which JST header on the PCB they correspond to? What problems to anticipate. It looks to be a 3-pin JST cable, possibly green, blue and yellow bundle. To replace this I'd be able to buy another JST cable of type and re-sleeve it then? I was intending to purchase the F-15 throttles and wondered in the functionality for these green, blue and yellow wires may be required on a dual throttle variants. Note: the cracked/damaged right 3-pin throttle connector is the one still functioning. Apologies if I'm not clear or my terminology is incorrect, my dad was the electrical engineer, he'd have solved it with a volt meter in a second. I've been doing what he would be doing in looking for the service manual. Best regards.
Hi. I'm hoping you know the answer to this. But my cable connecting my Alfa stick to the based broken. Basically I want to know what connection is used at the end of the cable to connect to the board. What is the white block needed and what are the small metal clips at the end of the cable that go into the block called? Thanks in advance.
Hi. I am trying to repair the main 5 pin cable that attaches to the base. Can you tell me the name of the white connecting box that attaches to the board. Also what are the metal pin at the end of each cable the goes into the white connecting box. Basically I have stripped the end of the cable and need to replace the crimp. Thanks
need info , can you use this for DCS KA-50 MFDs displays ?? SHKVAL and NaviMap Display??
Can you grease the brackets that are responsible for the movements without having to open anything or do you not need to grease them at all? Is it enough to screw it tighter or lighter with a screwdriver? I'm sorry, I'm German and this is a translation. I hope you understand me anyway. I mean the rails that are responsible for the movements

Does anyone know if the Winwing MFD can be used with flybywire A320 or any MSFS 2020 commercial aircraft?
Great video, i just bought 2 of these and am soo excited thank you.
You are an inspiration, Mister. RIP.
I have really enjoyed the channel. CMT will be missed.
Very sorry for the lose, my sincere condolences. I can't express how much I appreciate the video about the F16 Viper Grip....Rest in Peace Friend
This is a fantastic video, thank you! I'm going to have to open mine up to repair the ministick and the din5 connector. Do you know what kind of connector is on the internal side of the din5? Looks like some form of jst.
Habia empezado a ver su canal y sus creaciones y llegando al final de sus videos me encuentro con esta triste noticia.... Descansa en paz!
❤
Rip friend, we lost a great builder. You will be missed.
Hello, I am making this modification but the pin that allows the knob to stay in the central position does not have a spring...is it normal?
Whats bits does this need to disassemble
😢
anyone make a 3d print of this adapter? It seems a 3d printed part would also work....
Thank you for this video. I've been having issues with my out-of-warranty ALPHA twist grip not tracking consistently. The video is very detailed but the actual disassembly of the grip case and details of which screws / bolts need to be removed was very rapid and missing detail. Is there any chance you could post a diagram of which screws are necessary to remove to split open the case safely? Thanks again.
Condolences to his family, Rest in Peace.
That definitely hit the desk on the forward push. Other then that, great craftmasnhip and idea and build.
So I bought one but havent put it together yet. My issue is that I have my winwing throttle on a desk mount so does the F-16 rail interfere with me mounting the base on a desk mount?
RIP so sorry for your loss :{
Is dcs f18 recognized the keys or you have to bind them
ahhh no :(
Great video, thanks. Благодарю.
No sadness for him. It looks like he kept doing what he loved to do until the end. Just what we will miss from now on
My deepest sympathy to the Crashmetwice family and friends. He was always a delight to watch, and he inspired me to start machining for my own simpit. He always had a brilliant solution and way to build great gear. He will be missed.
Sad to hear😢 such a talented and imaginative person. Condolences to his family and friends.
Very sad news, a very talented and giving individual.
What an absolute shock. Crash was a valued member of the flight sim community. His love for the hobby was evident in all of his videos and comments. He will be sincerely missed. My deepest condolences to his friends and family. Fair winds and following seas Crash.
my condolences to his family. His videos were really entertaining for me
Well, shit.
Rest in Peace.
Очень жаль. Соболезную. Такой классный был мужик. Так был заряжен своей идеей. Жалко что не сможет уже завершить все свои проекты.
My condoleances, I really enjoyed seeing his videos and learned a lot from him. Rest in peace CrashMeTwice

My deepest condolences to his family.
Very sorry for your loss; he was a very skilled and creative man. He will be missed by many, even those of us who barely knew him at all.
He lives on in our simpits! RIP friend
