I can get one or the other based on my budget, which one would be a better option as far as competitiveness goes (spotting and ID range, tracking people in a dogfight etc)? Or should I just go VR? Currently on 24" 75Hz 1080p using TrackIR GPU: 6900XT

Can you share some links please? this one apparently works with original trackIR software

Hi, Has anyone used the Aliexpress's trackIR5? is it as good as the original? it apparently works with original trackIR software This product: Thanks

Thank (both of) you for the info I was actually contemplating to break the bank and get the realsimulator gear after seeing their "force sensing" joysticks how do you like them? are they as accurate as a e.g. VKB with a 20cm extension, after getting used to them? any caveat/disadvantage in particular? Also apparently their F-18 and F-16-CE sticks can be used in standalone mode by just mounting them on top of a rod/pipe, since the grips have internal sensors as well. have you tried this? would it be accurate in this mode (without using their FSSB base)? And most importantly, on their website it says that the standard (non-collectors-edition) F-16 grip has a plastic nylon fixation nut for connection to the base and the collectors edition has the aluminum fixation nut. but when I saw a youtube unboxing of the standard edition, it had an aluminum fixation (and not plastic) ... did you get an aluminum fixation on your grip? or a plastic one? and if it's plastic, is it concerning? and to clarify, this is what I'm talking about:

Hi, This the first serious stick I'm buying (I have a crappy no-name one) and I can't decide between these two. I will be using it with a ~20cm extension in center position I did a little bit of research on the web and from what I understand: Winwing's cons: 1- Winwing (as it's F18 replica) lacks analog ministicks, which I think I would find useful for guiding certain weapons or as MFD cursor etc. and overall it has less switches compared to VKB. 2- Watching Youtube reviews of the Winwing, apparently there were a lot of issues with tolerances and switches' quality etc in early units which were promised to be fixed in production units, and I'm wondering if these issues were actually fixed? VKB's cons: 1- It's more expensive than Winwing, 550$ (ultimate Pro-L) vs 350$ (Winwing joystick base + grip + extension, as I will be getting a third party mount) 2- Even though the grip is made out of metal, the joint between the grip and the base seems to be made out of plastic with troublesome fasteners, and I've read people saying it does flex quite a bit at full deflection especially with heavy springs ... 3- From what I read it seems that the feeling around the center isn't as smooth and as good as Winwing's? I would appreciate your thoughts and personal experiences Thanks
