Ebay..... is where I got mine

Go to the Thrustmaster website, they have two different extensions for sale now. A straight one like you are looking for with 0 -30 degree offset, and a curved one.. SimFab also makes three different lengths for the Thrustmaster sticks. You can find extensions on ebay too, that's where I got my 100 mm straight, and 200 curved extension...

Make sure you test the three different collars, too. I've got the long stick, so I'm using the small collar. And you do know how to calibrate it after you change components right?...

Do you mean the Falcon(F-16), Warthog (A-10) stick?.... or the Hornet (F/A-18) stick?... There is a Viper TQS throttle system (F-16), I have the seperate Viper Panel button box... on my right side... and I like the Hornet stick the best. When you received your AVA base did it come with the new dampers already installed?, and with the FBW cams included?.. I didn't like the FBW cams at all, I might try them again and turn down the spring tension and compensate with the new dampers..... But I'm still using the Jet cams, and hard springs, with a 200 mm curved extension. It feels much better with the dampers installed.

Make sure you have all the latest drivers, even TARGET has been updated. I have the AVA base with an F/A-18 stick on it, and when I updated the drivers my RSMapper software kept giving me hiccups. Go into Thrustmaster Control panel (Start/Thrustmaster/Thrustmaster Control Panel) if you don't see it, you don't have the drivers installed correctly. Once in there, look for your AVA base and make sure the firmware is up to date... no matter if you might think it is... Thrustmaster is going to ask you right off if everything is installed correctly. If you see your stick and all the buttons and axis' are working in the Control Panel, then it's a DCS problem not seeing your stick. I had to redo all my in game axis when I updated the drivers and Firmware. That's when it saw my stick as a Hornet (R) stick. It used to just be Hornet stick. Do a rescan of devices and then a slow repair of the game. Good luck.. glad to see you're still around Stanger... Hoss aka 361st_BeoWolf

Got the dampers and cams today. Installed both, hated the cams, went back to jet cams, love the dampers. I'm in the process of finding a good spring tension to damper ratio that's good for my stick set up, I've got 200 mm extension on mine... It's a much more precise feeling now... totally changes your curves and deadzones...

It's weird listening to Echo-19s sound mod while flying the P-51. The visuals don't do the engine sounds justice. While the Corsair is just the opposite. Probably why I use the Jug and the Mossie the most.

Make sure your drivers are installed. Go into Start/Programs/All, and go to Thrustmaster Control Panel and see if your FW is up to date. You can update from there. There is new software, that I was unaware of.

Yeah, I just discovered in the Warbirds that when you "Show Pilot" in the Mustang the knee-board works on his left thigh. It's the only one that works though, I checked the Jug and the Spit and it's a Caucasus map that won't work for your current location,i.e. Normandy, and Channel maps. I wish the Mossie had a working pilot, but the cockpit is a ghost town. I need to check out some of my other modules and see if they have a functioning in cockpit pilot knee-board.

Ms. Mossie is my second favorite warbird behind the Jug, I really haven't gotten to the Spitfire yet. I've got most of the controls mapped out, but haven't slipped the surly bonds with her very much.

I keep forgetting the Mossie is still "Early Release". Behind the Jug it's my second favorite warbird. The Mustang needs some 4k rework done inside and out, to bring up to the Jug, Mossie, and the new Corsair's level of detail.

Piece of cake now. I have to be careful not to give it as much power as I did before.

That's not my break set up, mine is a J curve. Somehow it got messed up on the Mossie and the Jug, works fine on all the other modules. The last windows update and Windows Defender messed up keyboard emulation software in IL2 (RSMapper by the exceptions/inclusion of files) and some of the settings in DCS as well. Im not sure why DCS was effected. So I added my gamer computer to my Bitdefender account. Ditched the windows version of AV & FW. Redid all the exception and inclusion protocol and problem fixed with RSMapper. So going in and erasing and remapping all my axis' for the Jug and the Mossie did the trick. If it happens again, I'll know what caused it.....

Yes, 1,000% sure, I did however go and redo all my axis profiles, Throttle, RPM, trims, brakes redid them except for Mixture... Mossie doesn't need it. Now I'm getting a ton of power and torque with the Mossie on take off. Don't know why, but it's FM... Fargin Magic how things get messed up in DCS. I always just use the Quick Action missions to practice take off and landings, I do a bunch of them most days, mainly with the Jug and Mossie, just to become really proficient at it. Somehow the Mossie's axis got messed up. because RPM and Boost on the Mossie were showing 3000 and 16 and I wasn't getting up to speed. I don't need nearly those numbers now to get to speed in half the time. I've been at this game since it came out in the early 2000's as LockOn Modern Air Combat. As I mentioned, I'm no noob.. I do appreciate the advice though.. much appreciated.

I'm not a noob, everything is on Simulation, and everything on the Mosquito "Special" page is off, no assists... It's one of the first things I checked.
