In fact I found the polished aluminium pretty. wonder if they are not better looking than black. Seems sahaj ones (alu) are not polished...

I thought about buying the extensions from the maker of MFG crosswind pedals. Though I'll check sahaj as well. MFG is cheaper though :) http://mfg.simundza.com/blog/new-product-mfg-warthog-extensions/

So, I just bought the warthog, just bought also the obutto warthog mount (ouch, the shipping fees are about the same as the product itself ^^), and will wait for this to be put in my cockpit to decide which size of the warthog extension I'll get ^^ And so I'll try to sell my X55, and also my saitek TPM ^^

Cannot use voice attack, my wife will kill me if I start talking to my computer in the middle of the night :)

In fact I think I will buy the whole thing. When I think about it, with virtual reality too many buttons is the best way to use the wrong switch. So better to less buttons :)

Ouch you're trying to make me spend 150 more euros, damn :) The thing I have to consider as well is I need enough buttons on my hotas because I fly with an htc vive therefore I need all important commands on the hotas as I cannot use the keyboard anymore... Though I have noticed I rarely setup anything on all the x55 throttle switches...

I know I know... I ordered them in february but still waiting because the combat plates are not ready yet, and I don't want the "feet on plates" version :) But considering maybe to get only the warthog stick, and keep the X55 throttle, as the advantage of the X55 is the more buttons/switches/rotaries, seems the X55 throttle has more possibilities than the warthog one. For you, Gladman, who had both, how would you compare the two throttles? The warthog HOTAS is 400 € in france, and the stick alone only 250 €. So, 150 € less expensive... For instance, flying the TF51-D I have setup the top rotary of the X55 throttle to be yaw trim, and bottom rottary to be rudder trim, looks a lot like the real plane this way :)

Sorry to bring out a quite old topic, but I'm having the same question. Especially now that we can buy the warthog stick alone. I have a X55 hotas, but considering getting the warthog stick and keep the X55 throttle, because of the more switches and buttons and rotaries on the X55 throttle in comparison with the warthog throttle. Only drawback is I'll not be able to sell my X55 stick alone I guess, but the drawback will be lowered because I'll have to pay a lot less for the stick alone than the whole warthog setup... and I'm mostly interested by the stick, not the throttle...

Thanks. Maybe though I'll wait to get the mfg crosswinds pedals before changing my hotas, as the twist grip of the X55 is quite handy without pedals... Or, can I use something on the stick or hotas to replace the rudder (for planes, not helicopters of course), while I wait for the mfg crosswind pedals to be ready?

Something I wonder... now that thrustmaster is also selling the stick and the throttle separately, don't you think I could keep the X55 throttle and just buy the stick? Sure this will prevent me from selling my X55 though, as nobody will buy a X55 stick without the throttle... You preferred your X55 throttle than the warthog one? Thanks (I also saw that thrustmaster designed a new mid range throttle sold separately, the FCW or something like that, with the new SMART technology, that could be useful to add new axis if we need so in a plane ^^)

Hi, So, with a 13 cm metal extension, in a home cockpit (obutto r3volution), is the stick still sturdy? I have read that the plastic gimbal may break. Also, on a forum someone said that "The stick is plagued by 'stiction'" (no idea of what it means). The same user on the same forum also says that "My Warthog HOTAS had stiction out-of-the-box and the throttle fell to bits...within the first 8 hours of use" I currently own a X55 in an obutto r3volution cockpit, but I thought about buying a warthog hotas to replace it, with a 13 cm metal extension to have a longer stick (MFG makes those), and the obutto warthog mount system to hard mount it in my cockpit. Unsure if it worth the price though to switch from my X55 (which still works perfectly) to the warthog hotas. Thanks

btw what use is the guncam? To be used as a recon plane? Or for the team to look after what plane we have shot down? Though guess I'll try it. And as I don't have a double detent trigger, I'll put the trigger for both action (guncam AND gun) if it is possible... So just a picture we see, and then disappear, that's that? We really need belsimtek to have this behave like the real one ^^

Oh, we can't save them? How do we look at them then? :)

In fact I have figured out how to do this just yesterday. The slider is some kind of a button, button pressed when the slider is right, button released when the slider is left. So I have setup the saitek profile so when the button is released, it types then release the keyboard shortcut for airbrake on, and when the button is pressed, it types then release the keyboard shortcut for airbrake off. And it works fine...

But as the guncam is activated by mid pressing the trigger, does it mean that each time the sabre is firing (I mean, the real sabre), a video is made?

Thanks. Though it requires to map 12 buttons for F1 to F12. Too bad there is no option to select the next and previous message with buttons then validate with another, like what it is done in elite dangerous for ship menu...

Guncam? We can record what we fire at? :)

Guess then I cannot emulate that with my X55 ;) Don't think it has two switches in the trigger...

Hi, There is no way to be able to use communication with buttons, instead of F key? Like going through choices with a button then validate with an other? F key are not very convenient as I play in VR, and voice attack neither because I play often in the night. Thanks :)

Hi, I don't understand the two way to fire guns in this plane. There are two commands, one with just SPACE, the other one with space and a modifier. One fire the trigger full, the other one fire the trigger half. So, what's the difference? Thanks

Ok, so the sim adjustment is a sim only feature, and in real life there is no such thing?

Oh so the kneeboard here is just for fun? I mean, it cannot display the real kneeboard?

Hi, There is something I wonder... I put this question in F-86F because it is only with this plane, but maybe this is VR related... When I fly with the Sabre, if I look down, I find that the seat is a bit high, like in fact if I am "IN" the seat. Though the cockpit is at the good height, especially for fighting when I have to aim with the glass in front of me. But when I land and I lower the landing gear, suddenly I feel higher. A position in which it would be difficult to fight as I'm too high to see well in the aiming glass. But in the fight, I find it difficult to use the top mirror, as I'm too low for that. So I wonder, the seat change when we lower the landing gear, is it a feature of the real F-86? Or something just for the sim? Thanks

Guess this tuto could be used as well for the X55 slider, and the F86F airbrakes? Though i still have to figure out how...

Will be released with the new damage model :)
