You'll probably need to make a couple of brackets. Shouldn't be anything difficult.

I follow their discord, there's been some more recent news than that. It's not looking great but they're trying to save the project. If RS ever make their throttle available, I'll buy one. It's not ideal, not being a dual throttle, I could make use of it. ETA RS page says new products being announced shortly. Look at the controls on the throttle - a couple of buttons, one hat, one toggle. It's basically useless. There's a reason that they've been trying to sell that for months. Might be okay for the F5, not for anything more modern. Easier to start from scratch than make that into a versatile throttle for gen4/4+ aircraft - the grip isn't large enough or appropriately shaped to accommodate a bunch of additional controls.

The F/GT has basically the same seat. The problem is that seat pan is too flat (the wedge shaped cushions do not solve the problem). It needs to be angled. The way that it's secured, angling the seat pan is a pain. What you want to do is make a wood or metal wedge to go between the pan and the cushions. You want about 15-20deg. I managed to get it comfortable that way but then I put a real seatbox in and it's great.

Few good options for a real one - newer stuff can't be acquired legitimately and the older stuff has far fewer controls on it. I'm pretty sure the CM4 will have basically the same problems. The CM1-3 are all minor iterations on the same design and some of the problems are inherent to it being usable on a desktop which isn't going to change. Thanks for the suggestion re GVL but if I can't find something suitable I'll make my own.

I'm looking for a high quality dual throttle. As long as it has a good enough selection of controls to be versatile, I don't really care what it's a replica of (or if it's a replica of anything). I'm currently using a Virpil CM3 which is fine for the mix of controls it provides and the software is great but the hats, buttons and grip could all be be better. I'm also not a fan of the very short arm which causes it to rotate excessively through it's travel. I've had WW and TM, underwhelmed. Is there a higher end option that I'm not considering who are actually willing to sell to private individuals? For some context in terms of quality, I'm happy with realsimulator and virtualfly. I'm hoping that the falcon matters EF throttle will actually happen and be what I'm looking for but in the mean time, any ideas?

This is the correct answer for monitor mounting but I don't think that's what he's doing.

If you use the NS430 or if you play on some of the really busy multiplayer servers then you need 64GB otherwise 32GB is okay.

Ask on the realsim forum and you'll get a quick answer from the guy that runs the company.

When adding another GPU for more displays you don't need any motherboard support - you aren't going to be having them in SLI/NVlink. That disables the ports on the second one so it's not what you want. This also means that your second GPU doesn't need to match. Also, check how many displays your GPU supports, it's not uncommon for them to have more ports than they can use. USB display adaptors are useful. Be aware that they impose a non-trivial CPU overhead and they often don't like being connected to a USB hub.

When I built my cockpit I threw a cheap 40" TV that I had lying around on it. It was... Adequate. Everything moves pretty slowly in a flight sim, even with a head tracker, so a poor display isn't as big of a problem as with other games. Upgraded a couple of month's later to one of the LG monitors linked above and the difference is huge. Massive improvement.

You either need to reinforce your mount or reduce forces. I had to build a full new mount and reinforce my cockpit frame. I doubt you'll be able to use it with the wheel stand pro without reducing the forces considerably.

We're getting new 4000s in Jan so that doesn't seem very likely.

It sounds like you're looking at the digital binds, not analog. You can't bind an axis to a control that's looking for button/key press. Select the axis binds in the drop down at the top-left.

Your can? If you're got the virtual buttons configured then you can bind it as buttons or axis or both at once and can pick & choose for each module without reconfiguring your throttle.

The tailpiece in the TM grip needed to be replaced anyway (because the stock one is cast zinc) so getting a steel one with the angle built in made sense.

I can confirm this. In the short term the tailpipe will become loosen leading to a small amount of front/back slop as you cross the center. Very annoying and one of the two screws you have to tighten is not externally accessible. In the longer term the tailpiece will distort. You can get a steel tailpipe and epoxy bed it to solve these two problems but it's not exactly cheap.

Yes, the F35 throttle was the point of designing the linear throttle. Neither has ever been offered for sale though. However they have been showing off their VR training seat to professional users and these are fitted with the linear throttle with either F35, EF2000 or F16 grip. Hopefully this means production is imminent.

The WW and TM both have less linear travel then they should, which impacts precision, and have shorter arms than they should, which results in more rotation of the grip. A full travel linear throttle is a better compromise imo although I would prefer a throttle with the correct arc.

Has he just not realized that it scrolls? That would be unfortunate.

There you go. 3x mfd, throttle, 2x stick, collective, pedals, quadrant, button box, controller = 11 If you can only connect 8, the problem is not DCS.

Just plug them in? I have eleven currently. No issues, nothing needed to be done

And the phantom will likely not be finished for at least a couple of years. The phantom hitting early access doesn't free up developers.

No, you wouldn't be able to simulate the F16 force sensing base. It measures displacement.

Interesting. That was extremely dumb of them then.

Or a switch to disable it. That would be perfectly fine. The best bit is when you add a controller for a specific aircraft and it incorrectly autoassigns to every aircraft requiring you to edit all of them.
