But did you have the problem then you bought it, and it is been better, or do you never have the problem? Some don’t have the problem, and some does. Especially on the Orion2, because it is a rubber wheel and a plastic bushing going in to each other. my post is if someone have found a solution? just to mention a few:

As many other users of the Winwing Orion2 throttle, the friction is either too strong, or too less, so in the ends, the weight off the throttle heads is mowing it to the very end (no or full power). Especially the right stick, as it is the most heavy. And another thing, and the most frustration one is then you haven’t touched the throttle in a few minutes maybe, it feels like it sit tight, and you have to use extra power to move it again.

Yes I do!

I bought the Winwing Orion2 HOTAS Max set for about a month ago. To be honest, I’m not that impressed with the Throttle stiction it self. The joystick is fantastic, and I like all the buttons on the throttle quadrant. I know there are other posts and solutions (for some), but I think they are a little bit old (2021-2022), so I hoped Winwing or other users had found a solution. But it doesn’t looks likely. The first thing I did was to order the Nyogel 767A. Sadly the German company I ordered it from, did have summer holiday, so I had to wait for about 14 days. It is always nice to look forward to something good, so my expectations was high, when DHL came with the package. But as you know, then expectations are high, it is easy to be disappointed. And it is what I did. I dismantled the throttle, cleaned all the old grease away, and layered a little amount of Nyogel 767A grease, and assembled it all again. But I didn’t feel a big difference from the original Winwing grease to the Nyogel very expensive grease. The difference wasn’t the new grease money worth. I dismantled the throttle again. This time I cleaned it up again, and layered a bigger layer of grease. Grease all over the rubber wheel, so no dry contact points between the rubber wheel and the plastic. Assembled it again and tested it. Now it was even worse, and absolutely not a solution I could live with. 3rd time I dismantled the throttle again and this time I cleaned all the grease off again. Cleaned the rubber wheel and plastic very thoroughly, so absolutely no grease back left. Assembled it all again, and this is the best result. It is absolutely not great, but I can live with it for a while, but I will hope Winwing find a better solution. What is your experiences and maybe a better solution?

Let me ask another way. The A-10C for example is pre programmed for the Warthog, will it be the same with orion2?

I have had Thrustmaster Warthog for a very very long time, and I’m very satisfied with it. But now I am thinking of investing in the Winwing Orion2 HOTAS Max. And therefore I have a few questions I hope you can answer. I can see that the buttons are very similar to the Warthog, so can I just plug the Winwing HOTAS to the computer, or do I have to reconfigure the controls for all my modules again? I have never had a joystick with FFB, so my question is, if it is worth the money? I know Winwing is from China, but does it have a stock in the EU? Beat regards Henrik

I think I will follow up on my post. Normally, I’m not a person who install mods or other non original files, but after months of waiting for a patch for the Apache yaw problems, I decided to try #qnnrad’s AP yaw fix. What a difference. Now I can control the chopper much much better. Off course the Apache is still heavy, but now I don’t have to fight with her, but enjoy to fly, exactly as I expert. Conclusion: it was definitely the yaw problems, which made the problems with controlling the Apache. And the heavier she was, the more difficult it was to control her.

Thanks for the answer. I then think it is the yaw problems at the Apache modul, who makes the problems. It is almost impossible to fly at some of the missions in Outpost Campaign. Some times full rudder isn't enough to fly strait a head. Some time you have to fight more with the chopper than the enemy.

The first picture is before takeoff. The second picture is George trying to hover. When takeoff, I have to use almost full rudder. The Apache is yawing so much. I now there is a bug at the moment, but It is not that much in other missions outside the Outpost campaign.

I don’t know, but it is in Syria, so I’m sure it is hot. But any way, the chopper still behavior strange, when I’m Winchester. I mean, if it can’t be flown with empty pylons, there must be something wrong.

In some of the missions in the Outpost campaign, I feel the Apache is close to impossible to fly. It feels like the Apache is much too heavy. It is difficult to even take off. You have to use about 85% power before the wheels is in the air. I know there is problems with yaw at the moment, but this is impossible to make a soft sweet take off. When flying, I all the time have to fight to fly her, and it takes to much of concentration. I am under MTW, but it feels like it is much over it. I have tried some instant action missions, loaded the Apache to max MTW, and it is not behaviour like it does in Outpost Campaign. So it can´t just be because i´m that heavy. Even when sitting in front seat, George can’t hover the Apache. When trying to hover, the Apache slowly goes to the ground. George have to fly 40 or more to keep the height. Is it only me, does I do anything wrong, or? I can´t see anything in the forum about it. Best regards Henrik

Hello again Thank you, T-Bone for the solution. I had missed to change ACQ to TADS. My ACQ was FXD. Thank you / Danke schön

Hello I have a question. When I’m in pilots seat, I use George to find targets, no problems, I use video display to see the targets, no problems. But isn’t it possible to see it in the helmet display? It would be nice to see a direction and distance to the target in the helmet display. best regards

Hello sorry if it have been asked before, but then I have not seen it. If I have a perfect auto hover from the pilots seat (back seat), both attitude and altitude hold, no problems. Then I can change to CP/G seat with out any problems. The Apache is still stable. But when I change back to the pilot seat, the helicopter stop auto hover. The attitude and altitude hold is turned off. Is it only me, or a known bug? I don’t think I have any double bindings. Best regards

Thanks. I will do that. regards

I have just downloaded and installed the UN Tour for the Gazelle from user files. Something is wrong with the ATC in the beginning of the mission 1. in the briefing, the tower should have freq 124 mhz. Nothing happens. I then used F10, and saw the freq for the tower is 118.9 mhz. And at that freq, I now permitted to start up. After start up, I’m permitted to taxi to rwy 17. I then taxi to rwy 17, and ask for take off. Nothing happens, or it will say that tower again permit me to taxi to rwy 17. I believe I have tried to taxi to all around rwy 17. Hover at just before the rwy , at the beginning of the rwy, every taxiway in to the rwy and so on. I never get take off clearance. what am I doing wrong? best regards

Thank you very much. I think it makes sense. best regards

@kinkkujuustovoileip thanks for your reply it makes sense, but why have the opportunity to deselect the pitch, roll and yaw? If I only fly from A to B, will the autopilot do any work, if we are NOT using speed or altitude mode? Or is it only using the trim to stabilize the flight behavior? I don’t think the trim have any to do with the autopilot, or?

Hello I am wondering a little bit about the autopilots logic. I’m not talking about bugs or wrong behaviors, and I understand the speed and altitude hold. But are there times, where you not have the autopilot master switch turned on? If I turn one off the other dampers off (pitch, roll and yaw), the master damper also turns off. So I can’t believe there will be times, there you switch the pitch, roll or yaw damper off, or am I miss something? I can see, when starting on the ground, the master autopilot is turned off, and I can’t turn it on, before in the air. What is the logic in that? so if I have to explain my questions, I just wondering why there are dampers for pitch, roll and yaw, then turning one off them off, it also turns the master autopilot off. If having something, why then not just have the master autopilot switch? I know nobody here are French helicopter designers, but maybe someone can give me an explanation? best regards

#Moxica Thank you

Hello Is it me, or are there no keybindings for the Hot3 missile station selector? it is a little bit frustrating to use the mouse to select station, in the middle off a combat, and also to let the hand go from the joystick. Especially if the helicopter isn’t trimmed well best regards

@Sinclair_76thank you for your reply. Now it’s making sense for me. best regards

@Netrunner Thank you for your reply. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough in my question. I know what a smoke grenade is, but I’m looking for an answer how you mark an area, where the enemy’s are. It looks like a hand granade, and as Wiki says, a soldier can catch it about 35 m/115 ft. I would not like to be only from that distance to my enemy, to be honest. are ground units using a grenade gun, and how far away can it shoot? Are you catching it out from a helicopter, aircraft, drone or? best regards

Hello In DCS, sometimes enemy is marked with red smoke. That do they do in the real life? Is it not happening in real life, or is a smoke cartridges shooting through the enemy, or dropped by aircraft, or? best regards

Hello again After hours of watching YouTube videos, I found out why the profile, and other profiles, didn’t work. in the Stream Deck software, there are menu, there you type in the DCS World install directory . I don’t have DCS installed in the standard directory , so Stream Deck couldn’t find DCS. Why my F/A 18 profile worked, I still don’t understand, but who cares. Thanks to Charles Tytler for his YouTube videos best regards Henrik
