Mount it lower?

Look at connection boxes for electrical wiring in buildings.

Too expensive (I guess it's close to 300 euro).

For quick and easy reference, I made a screenshot with all DCS modules from Steam which have Starforce (marked with those small white bars):

PayPal fees for $650 are not that high ($43). More like $20-$27. Also your $100 shipping price seems high. But that greatly depends on location. Maybe there was a PayPal currency conversion, too, in your case. They (PayPal) don't have the best exchange rates.

I only have some crap car pedals and I use the pedal's software (Logitech Profiler) to combine the accelerator axis and brake axis into a single axis. If your pedals do not have such software, you can use third-party ones.

Only the hat switch version can be pre-ordered. No release date announced for the analog mini-stick version.

Get them off the table. Throttle on the left side. Stick either as a center stick (preferably with extensions) or on the right side. You could buy two Virpil mounts + adapter plates.

But have you previously made a Windows calibration? Before replacing that sensor PCB.

Check the pins from the grip connector. Maybe one is bent.

The Warthog adapter is 3-pin Rev. A. The Gunfighter base is 3-pin Rev. B.

You missed this announcement, it seems.

I keep telling you that now the only place you can order VPC products from US is this. Forget about Amazon UK VPC shop.

Amazon UK is the wrong shop for US customers. It's unclear from your post, but it looks like you might have issues with your payment to https://virpil-controls.by/en/. Nothing to do with sanctions. Better check with your bank.

Can you give more details? You get an error message? What exactly is the issue?

That's new. Others from USA seem to be able to buy their products. Are you using the correct on-line shop for US? This one.

The grip connector is the same in both bases (MongoosT-50 and WarBRD). If you want to use extensions, then get the MongoosT-50 base. WarBRD base should not be used with extensions. And, unlike the MongoosT-50 base, WarBRD base can be used on a desktop. But also can still be installed on a mount. One is not replacing the other. They are designed for different use scenarios.

Yeah, don't use a wrench.

I like your enthusiasm. The name you were looking for at about 11min:20sec is "analog mini-stick".

No levers/button box?

Full price of the throttle (without the current 10% discount) is 359.95 euro (this is with 21% VAT). So full price without VAT is 297.48 euro. Still almost 60 euro over the initially announced price of 239.95 euro. The lights are nice, but a lower price would have been nicer. The version I am interested in (with an analog mini-stick) will probably be even more expensive.

No, I did not miss the point. You said that the functionality difference between a digital hat switch and an analog mini-stick is a matter of "feeling".

They say the sale will last until April 23th (next Monday). Better send them an e-mail, explaining the situation.

It's not a "feeling". One is digital (either on or off, nothing in between), the other is analog.

To be able to map the same functions on equivalent axes/hat switches/mini-sticks/buttons. Not necessarily in the same position or with the same shape, but all must be available (and if there are extras, so much better). Any throttle which does not have an analog mini-stick is not functionally equivalent, for instance. A hat switch will not be able to perform the same function as an analog mini-stick.
