Had a Warthog base with TM Hornet grip and a 35 cm extension prior to my present center stick. This one needed the blue spring to recenter perfectly. When i switched to the Realsimulator Hornet grip, wich weights less than half as much as the TMs, i was able to switch back to the standard spring wich was just perfect then. I'm sure the standard spring will be good for the TM Hornet grip on a 15cm extension and there is no need to order the red spring. But just try and decide how you like it, the Sahaj springs are rather expensive IMO. What i ordered was the silicone ring from Sahaj, wich is much better than the standard rubber ring TM uses. But i guess you'd need to smooth your WH gimbal with sand paper to feel a significant difference, wich i wouldn't do as long as the WH is under warranty. The Warthog is a good Stick, but has it's flaws. Cheers

I have the T50CM2 with Realsimulator F-18 grip and 30cm extension (10cm straight, 20 cm S-type) for center stick, as well as the WarBRD with Warthog grip for sidestick. Both bases are great and i can highly recommend both, but honestly wouldn't operate the T50 without extension. The WarBRD base is meant for desk use and has about the same axis deflection as the TM Warthog has, while the T50 is meant for center stick use and has about, i don't know, maybe 50-60% of the WarBRD base axis deflection. Also be aware that the T50 is not suited for desk use and does not come with a baseplate. Virpil adds 21% VAT for shipments into the EU. Means 21% of the overall shipment value, wich includes shipping costs. Cheers

Nevermind, good to hear it worked out for you. 6" is what? 15cm i guess? Sorry, used to the metric system 6" should be perfect with the standard Warthog spring, just mount your stick as low as you can on your Foxx Mounts. If it's still too high, you can go down to a 10cm ( 4" i guess?) extension wich should be good with the standard spring as well. I know a Sahaj extension+shipping overseas isn't cheap and it's kinda unfortunate having to get another one because the first is more or less useless, but nothing worse than sitting uncomfortable when doing what you like. just my 2 cents. Cheers

I think he meant the fact, that the base must not be mounted offset. It's the grip that needs a offset position relative to the base, not the complete stick relative to you. That would be the correct mounting. edit: In order to achive that with the Warthog base/TM Hornet grip combo, you'd need an extension on wich you can screw down the grip offset to the base. Cheers

Hoping for an Apache replica collective grip too, but the UH-60 grip will be nice as well. Hopefully these get released close to the Kiowas release. These collectives are just what i was waiting for, now i can't wait to get back into helicopters after 20 years since Jane's Longbow. Great news for rotor heads indeed!

Mine was sealed and new, but i got it from a dedicated PC-hardware dealer who has a (justified) outstanding reputation over here. Amazon reselling second hand products is one of the reasons why i stopped buying stuff from them. Nothing, not even books anymore. Button 17 beeing difficult to operate is absolutely normal (i think it's not even mapped/existant in the real jet), but Button 20 sticking isn't. As mentioned by others, send it back. At best refund and buy from somewhere else instead of greedy Amazon. Cheers

Ah, hattest du ja im OP schon geschrieben, hatte ich iwie überlesen. Funktionieren denn die Achsen in Windows unter "Geräte und Drucker" -> "Gamecontrollereinstellungen" so wie sie sollen?

Setz mal deinen Laderadius auf 100000, das hat bei mir auch viel gebracht. Außerdem fressen Schatten im allgemeinen viel Rechenleistung, wenn Du damit leben kannst stell die auch mal auf niedrig. Mehr RAM kann auch nicht schaden, 16 GB sind etwas wenig für DCS (auch ohne VR) - Mensch, Du hast weniger RAM als VRAM. Das ist ja wie wenn die Felgen teurer sind als das Auto an dem sie montiert sind Und eventuell die CPU etwas übertakten (entsprechendes MB und Kühlung vorausgesetzt). VSYNC ausschalten wurde schon erwähnt, stell danach in der NVIDIA Systemsteuerung die Option [Vertikale Synchronisation] auf [schnell], dann "löscht" er alle frames die nicht synchron sind, anstatt die FPS mit der Bildwiederholrate des Monitors zu synchronisieren und verhindert (minimiert) so den typischen Schliereneffekt den man ohne VSYNC normalerweise hat. Vorteil ist, deine FPS sind frei. Nachteil ist, es ist nicht 100%ig Schlieren frei, aber eben kaum zu erkennen. Gruß

Geh mal in die Achsenoptionen und schau ob das Häkchen bei "Schiebregler/Slider" gesetzt ist. Wenn nicht, anklicken.

I have the Thrustmaster TPRs, but wouldn't buy them again. Was pretty happy with them in the beginning, but now after 2 years not so much anymore. They didn't fail but i think precision could be better. They're good pedals overall and the pendular systems feels nice (although too soft), but they're way overpriced. They're not worth ~500€ IMO, more like 300-350 like the Virpil ACE rudders. If you're willing to spend as much for pedals as the TPRs cost, better put a few bucks on top and get the Slaw Viper RX -> way better built quality, higher precision, but only marginal higher price. Those will definately be my next pedals. The Virpil ACE rudders are propably very good as well for a fair price. My brother is a rotor head and has the VKB T-Rudders MK IV and he's very happy with them. Don't ask me 'bout the virtual toe brakes though, i have no idea how it works. But built quality is outstanding, that's what i can say. I'm missing the MFG Crosswinds in your list, those have a great reputation as well and are in the same price range as the Virpil ACE rudders, i think even a bit cheaper. Take a look at Aurelius' thread, he provides very competent information about various rudder pedals on the market: Good luck and choose wise Cheers

Afaik there is no F-16 throttle right now, except for the TM Cougar TQS. Winwing is in the process of developing one and so is Realsimulator. The Winwing stuff is great, but if you're in europe be aware that the Winwing devices do not have any compliance markings (at least mine doesen't) making it illegal to import it to europe, even for individuals. If national customs checks the shipping, the new toy will be confiscated. Besides that, their products are excellent, it's just a legality issue in europe. Realsimulator is even more boutique/expensive than Winwing, so i guess their F-16 throttle will be easily at 1000+€. That's the price for beeing made in the EU instead of china. Also i have no idea how far developement is and when their throttle will come. Cheers

Fantastisch, dann dürfte sich das Login Problem auch erledigt haben.

Best setup for the F-16 would definately be the Realsimulator FSSB R3 base + Realsimulator F16 grip. The only issue is that this is, including VAT, a ~1000,- € stick with shipping on top and you'll still need to buy a separate throttle. But therefore you'll get a high-end force sensitive base working exactly like the real thing in the F-16, with the by far best F-16 grip non-commercial customers can buy for money. Other than that, i think the Virpil WarBRD base with heavy springs and TM Warthog grip works great for the F-16, while the VKB base with converted TM Warthog grip is also a great F-16 stick solution for sure.

Bei mir auch, bringt nur nicht viel. Da die Server von ED offensichtlich down sind (daher kein Update für die Standalone user bis jetzt) schreiben viele Leute auf Steam, dass sie sich nach dem Update nicht mehr einloggen können. Von daher, abwarten und Tee (Scotch) trinken

Winwing F/A-18 throttle, Virpil T50CM2 with extension + Realsimulator F-18E grip for the Hornet and Virpil WarBRD + TM Warthog grip for the F-16. Still waiting for a decent F-16 throttle. If money isn't an issue and you want to go with a Realsimulator grip be aware that these can be used on each base with PS2 connector (Virpil, TM, Realsimulator), but only those with BT module (F-18E, F-16 collectors edition only) will have full functionality on Virpil and TM bases. The standard F-16 grips need a Realsimulator base for full functionality. Cheers

I cannot disagree. Had my Virpil stuff long before my bro got his VKB gear. Mainly choosed Virpil because i already had both TM grips and the VKB adaptor was never in stock (and i checked daily for months). Also there was no adaptor for the hornet grip back then. I realy love my Virpil bases and now highly enjoy the compatibility with Realsimulator (The VKB/TM adaptors don't fit in those i guess) but have to admit that i was pretty much impressed when my brother unboxed his Gunfighter MK. III. Same for the T-Rudder pedals. I need physical toe brakes and i'm not a rotor head, so those aren't for me. But the built quality is indeed outstanding. Absolutely great stuff, no doubt.

I'm using Virpil bases (with TM and RS grips), while my brother has the VKB Gunfighter and the VKB pedals. We both are very happy with our setup and i guess there is not a big difference in terms of quality between Virpil and VKB. I'd say both are top notch and you can't go wrong with each of them. None of us had technical issues with any of our Virpil/VKB devices. Personally, i prefer Virpil because of the compatibility to TM and Realsimulator and the wide choice of grips that comes with it. But there are VKB adaptors for the TM Warthog and Hornet grip, so there is some expanded versatility with VKB as well. Both are definately worth their price. Cheers

Meine Vorbestellung ist vom 05.07.20 und ich hab bisher noch nicht mal eine Sendungsbestätigung. Irgendwie schon ein Witz, trotz Cashback.

Scheu ist unnötig. Folge einfach dem Link und komm auf den Server. Anwesenheitspflicht gibt es keine, Du kannst kommen wie und wann du Lust hast. Sind recht viele von uns im Schichtbetrieb und daher ebenfalls zeitlich ziemlich eingeschränkt. Gibt nur 3 Bedingungen, kurz im Kanal "Selbstvorstellung " was zu sich schreiben wie Name und Alter, eventuell Deine Vorlieben (A-A / A-G), im Kanal "Owners Club" deine Module aufschreiben und für die Übersicht Deinen Discord Nickname in das Format "Name | Callsign" ändern. Damit wir sehen wer kommt, wie er ingame angesprochen werden will und wer mit wem was zusammen fliegen kann bzw. welche Module in eventuelle Missionen eingefügt werden müssen. Dann kannst Dich nach Herzenslust austoben. edit: Wenn Du Dich mit Discord nicht auskennst, einfach fragen was zu tun ist. Gruß

Excuse me? I have clearly pointed out, that this was ironic. Because i already knew about Aus having compliance regulations. Besides that, i don't see the purpose of RCM regulations wich can be legally avoided by just purchasing stuff from outside and the devices still find their way into private homes legally. Sounds like placebo and doesen't make any sense to me. On the other hand it has been stated MULTIPLE times from the very beginning, that this thread is about the missing markings making the WW devices completely illegal over here, and not that they are hazardous. Still we have people from wherever, trying to tell us that this is "bs" and "that their throttle didn't explode yet". So WHO exactly should get off their high horse? What has this to do with the fact, that lacking these markings makes the WW devices illegal over here? Again, this thread was in no way meant to claim the WW devices beeing hazardous, but to provide important informations for european purchasers, all the reviewers were unable (or unwilling?) to provide. The purpose is, that europeans can make a reasonable decision if they are willing to take the risk that the shipment may get confiscated by national customs, or not. Nothing more and nothing less. I realy wonder what is so difficult to say in a review: "The WinWing devices do not have any compliance markings and no markings in general. So before you order, please make sure the device is legal to import / operate in your country"? I guess the fact, that WW won't sent them any other devices in the future... Comparing a few more important things of daily life, it took me 5 minutes to find out you guys are definately going through more bs than we do. A lot more. ;)

Are you seriously saying, there are no certifications for electronic devices, wich ensure a minimum level of safety and environmental protection in AUS? Realy? Now i'm confused, i always thought that Australia is a top tier developed country, as most developed countries have safety certifications for electronic devices. The USA do have their FCC mark, so does Kanada, Taiwan has BSMI, South-Korea has the KC mark and Russia has the GOST-R certificate. The WW throttle does not have any of those certifications, at least mine does not even have markings for voltage etc.. What do you think? This sounds very much as if the WW devices are illegal in each of those countries, doesen't it? Read it up, this is easy to find with google. And btw. hope you got they irony, because google came up with following: "On March 1st 2016 Australia introduced a new single compliance mark for Electrical Safety and EMC approvals. The new single compliance mark is called the Regulatory Compliance Mark, or RCM mark. It replaces the C-Tick, A-Tick and Unique Electrical Safety Approval Number, making it easier for purchasers and installers to identify if a device is fully compliant with Australian electrical safety, Telecommunications and EMC regulations." source: https://www.compeng.com.au/c-tick-rcm-testing/ Sounds like Australia does very much have this "bs to contend with"...

Wenn Du Discord installiert hast, folge einfach dem Link den Ragnar gepostet hat. Ansonsten kurz Discord installieren, ist ja keine große Sache. Kurz vorstellen, Name, Alter, welche Module Du hast und das wars. Ist aber, wie gesagt, keine Staffel o.ä.. Nur ein Treffpunkt für Leute die keine Staffel haben / suchen, aber trotzdem nicht ständig alleine fliegen bzw. üben wollen. Gruß

I tried that too when i recieved my WarBRD base and the base plate is not only moving a little bit in a intense dogfight, in fact when rolling left, the baseplate is liftet on the right side when switching from right to left roll very fast. Flip over was exaggerated, but my statement remains. This is not the way it should be. Or would you fire a machinegun on bipod with the buttstock wobbling and not beeing rock solid attached to the weapon? I guess not, because it's useless, dangerous and you won't hit anyhing with it. Similar with a joystick that is moving on the desk when beein heavily used, because that is not the way it's meant to be. The baseplate of the WarBRD base is designed with the light Virpil grips in mind and IMO is not suited for the Warthog grip. Not an overstatement, but more like my personal opinion. Should have mentioned that in my first comment though, but i still highly recommend ordering the extra heavy springs and mount that combo to some kind of deskmount or simpit.

Ja da hast Du recht, aber gebrauchte Elektronik ist nicht so mein Fall. Wenns dumm läuft ist die Karte die man kauft für Bitcoin (o.ä.) mining eingesetzt worden und seit Neukauf 24/7 durchgelaufen. Das Risiko geh ich für 500€+ nicht ein. Also wenn die 2080Ti nicht für 150-250€ zu haben sind, ist das keine Option für mich. Und da die 1080Ti heute noch für 400-600€ auf ebay gehandelt werden, kann ich mir kaum vorstellen, dass die 2080Ti in derart tiefe Preisbereiche rutscht. Danke für den Denkanstoß, aber für mich wird wohl alles auf ne (vorerst) nicht benutzbare G2 unterm Weihnachtsbaum hinauslaufen. Vielleicht kauf ich mir aus Frust dann ne Realsimulator base zu Weihnachten, die ist sowieso weit oben auf meiner Wunschliste:joystick:
