Komodo simulation has one for €900, not in stock though, in fact they don't seem to have anything in stock.

There are diy projects on thingieverse with BOM's, even with a 7" screen.

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 5:37 PM

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 5:38 PM

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 5:39 PM

could use a little spit and polish on the plastic, but definitely quality

Fr4Ged•1/23/25, 5:39 PM

That does look cool!

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 5:40 PM

Komodo is absurdly low quality for mil contractors prices

Anthony•1/23/25, 6:04 PM

Literally sub Saitek quality

Indeed, I was almost surprised the website was still up, less surprised there wasn't a single thing ready to be ordered

Bob BushmanOP•1/23/25, 6:10 PM

I did google "TEDAC DCS" after which is where I found a diy project, did not find any results for the Alain TEDAC though.

Bob BushmanOP•1/23/25, 6:16 PM

$205 shipping to Europe is a bit eep

I own Alain‘s Tedac as well and I‘m so happy with it.

Ccorbu1 I own Alain‘s Tedac as well and I‘m so happy with it.

Bob BushmanOP•1/23/25, 8:19 PM

I have no doubt, whatsoever of that.

But $200 on shipping is bonkers, and I am fully aware that's also not his fault either, the couriers are just going nuts these days.

corbu1•1/23/25, 8:23 PM

I‘m from germany. I understand your complains about the shipping costs to europe. But finally for me Alain‘s device from Canada was cheaper than a komodo Tedac from the UK. And it looks way better.

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:36 PM

not trying to diss komodo, but hes just a guy that pounds his stuff out to eek out a living while alain is just doing this as a hobby + side gig

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:36 PM

he does good work

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:37 PM

his first tedac took a lot for granted, but was 100% functional

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:37 PM

his V2 is pretty much professional

Fr4Ged•1/23/25, 8:44 PM

I am sure you could print money with a resin printer and some decent quality built niche hardware like the TEDAC or Apache cyclic grip.

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:45 PM

IIRC he does an apache collective and cyclic as well

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:45 PM

way cheaper than the virpil options

Ccorbu1 I‘m from germany. I understand your complains about the shipping costs to europe...

Bob BushmanOP•1/23/25, 8:45 PM

Oh I was by no means recommending komodo, it was just the only one I found with Google.

HHammer 1-1 IIRC he does an apache collective and cyclic as well

Fr4Ged•1/23/25, 8:47 PM

I guess you only find that stuff on the DCS forums or his discord?

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:48 PM

yeah, hes just a guy in his garage doing this thing as a side gig

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:48 PM

i took a leap of faith with his tedac and was surprised

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:49 PM

he supports his work too...if its fucked up, you ship it back to him and hell fix it

Bob BushmanOP•1/23/25, 8:49 PM

Well from I gathered he is also an electrical engineer with 30 years experience.
That tends to help

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 8:50 PM

he also assisted me for a few days trying to get my winwing mips and tedac to work all at the same time in DCS so i will 1000% vouch for him

Anthony•1/23/25, 9:45 PM

Honestly… I would diss Komodo

Anthony•1/23/25, 9:46 PM

Selling amateur quality stuff like collectives with grips literally just glued on is okay

Anthony•1/23/25, 9:46 PM

But then you oughta charge amateur prices and not market it as top of the line products

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 9:47 PM

Ive never seen a komodo built anything so Ive never been able to vouch for his stuff whether or not its good. I can only say what Ive heard, and its iffy at best

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 9:47 PM

but I 100% agree

Hammer 1-1•1/23/25, 9:47 PM

personally I think alain undercharges his stuff
