Hello, I also have the T16000M setup (dual stick for space sim) but wanted to upgrade to a different HOTAS setup cause I am new to DCS and want to fly the AH-64 when it comes out as well as other modules like the Huey, F-18 and A-10. Personally, I ended up going with a Wingwin Orion setup + their joystick extension. The virpil setup I wanted ( cm3 throttle w/ warbrd base + C-Alpha grip) would have been around $950-$1000 with shipping and handling, while the Wingwin Orion HOTAS with the extension and shipping came out to around $650. This allowed me to also pick up the MFG crosswind v3s for rudders, and now I'm just looking for a collective. Hope this helps!
