Update from my side. Winwing told me to loosen the screws of the lift mechanics. After using the divice for a few hours and loosen the screw the noise stopped for now. No solution for the sporadically working "off" button. I was disappointed aswell. because as i remember the orion 1 base was 95% metall. And this is what i preordered. calibrating the throttle has no impact on "off" and "idle" buttons. because they are buttons. there is no sensor registrating movement between idle and off. I think the different forces required to push over AB detend came with the different thigthening of the lift mechanic screws. Many other people reporting that they have no problems. The thing is. If you want a replica, there is no other way as going for winwing. Every other thing is working fine at the moment. I have around 30h played untill now with the orion2 But there is a weird function. If you turn off your PC, the backgroundlights continuou to shine. you have to unplug it from the USB port. Try to thigthen the big allen screw.

I got my WinWing Orion 2 yesterday and this ist what I experienced. The Engine OFF button is not working properly. It only works if you push the throttle with a force to the last bit of the end. I think the sounds of moving the throttle with the new fingerlift design speaks for its self. The force to overcome the afterburner is differently on the left and right throttle. You need double the force on the left throttle to overcome the AB detend. The fingerlifts are made of plastic and they feel really cheap. In addition they are way to low. You need to change your grip to grab them, what makes them unusable for AB detend. If you increase the friction you are not able to move the throttle freely in one smooth motion. This makes it impossible to make small corrections. So you are forced to use low friction which makes the heavy FA18 throttle fall down and not staying in position.

You should really think about buying a WinWing Orion 2. I got mine yesterday and this ist what I experienced. The Engine OFF button is not working properly.
