update 10/13/2024, uploaded revised files called Roll Arm v2 and Shaft v2
after actually making this i found that the arms were hard to snap in, i revised the files [roll arm v2 and shaft v2]

update 11/19/2024, video guide to make this 3d build created

Now an even easier Doorgun Joystick build! Just print and snap on.

i printed most parts 10% infil
i went 100% on the pitch and roll arms
used wire nippers (or 3d printer utility cutter) to widen ball sockets so that the snap in parts are manageable to snap in, also a filer to smooth out rotating parts.

After seeing Akaki's 3d Printed hotas for Xbox, i said to myself.. maybe this is an easier way to get a doorgun joystick in to your hands so that you can enjoy the thrill of controlling doorguns for DCS world!

I did a remix of Akaki's hotas into a doorgun form factor... using Milhause M2 Browning Machine gun as a mock doorgun with spade grips.

the design is specifically for an XBOX ONE Original controller (not copy cat controllers)

DCS World has player controlled doorguns!
can be found on the UH-1H Huey, Mi-24P Hind, CH47F, SA342 minigun variant and Mi-8MTV2

Sharing the STL files so you can build a simple joystick to control the Doorguns on these helicopters

Designed this as the simplest design i can make, No soldering and no arduino . ONLY 3d Printing skill required and a XBOX ONE controller is need

following DCS World modules are supported for doorgun joystick use
