Post by GW_moin4640 » Tue Jan 07, 2025 3:01 pm

The same with the JS3, and I guess other gliders which use the LX stick. Very noticeable how small they are in VR.
Also flap and brake handles seem too small in JS3.

I measured our model against the values from the RemoteStick manual.

The model of the handgrip of the stick is 3mm shorter than the real one.

The one in the JS3 is actually exactly to scale with the drawings of the RemoteStick. 147 mm tall and 47 mm wide (I measured 46.525 mm in the model)

Yep. The stick is (almost) the correct size. You are not going to notice if I change it by 3 mm.

Of course there are different stick ends (like for LX or xcsoar); but the fish eye lens close to the stick just makes it appear gigantic.

It has that stick... Here I even matched the view for you:

It is made to scale EXACTLY like the real one.
