Saitek X52 Pro, with plans to get a set of Pro Pedals in the future. Not that I don't like the twist on my stick, but want a little more "true to life" control if that makes sense. Otherwise, it's a fantastic stick that didn't break the bank.

X52 Pro (6 years old)

 

Cant believe I've had it for so long. Its showing its age.

 

Cant use rotaries on the throttle for trim.

 

X 55 in the future.

Warthog and Saitek pedals. Seriously looking into Slaw Device pedals when I have any money and a 10/15cm Warthog extension.

 

I need to find a seat that can be set at a proper height for comfortable use of pedals + supports putting the extended stick between my legs

 

Anyone have a recommendation for such a seat?

 

It depends on whether you want a pure gaming seat or does it also need to be a desk/work seat?

 

Pure gaming seats: there are lots of nice ones.

But desk/work/serious gaming seats, there are not so many to choose from.

HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. OpenXR, Open XR tool kit disabled.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC.

Vaicom user. Virpil Mongoose base CM3 & Mongoose stick CM2 (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS with apache Grip. MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.

I have a new hotas cougar...Tried to figure it out but lost my freakin mind and patients with it...I bought it in 06,and never used it....My buddy rebuild my pc with some awsome stuff so its time to wipe off the cob webs...

Any cougar help would be only to sweet..Im basically starting off from scratch again..

The "SCALES" of aeronautical performance will weigh heavily on your next move..

CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle and KomodoSims ProAT pedals. I think this setup is really great. The CH Fighterstick is light and very accurate which is perfect for helicopters, plus CH is really top quality in flight controls.

 

I used to have Saitek Rudder Pedals but fortunately I broke them when trying take the center detent off. I got the KomodoSim ProAT pedals and the world wasn't the same anymore!

They are rugged, super accurate and feel like real helicopter pedals. They cost as much as my CH HOTAS but they are worth every penny. My flying improved ten fold compared to the crappy plastic Saitek.

I also have CH products:

 

FighterStick

ProThrottle

ProPedals

Throttle Quadrant.

 

+TrackIR 3 with Vector. I keep thinking about upgrading to TrackIR 5... Maybe someday.

 

All my CH stuff is over 10 years old & still going strong. although I did have to take apart the fighter stick once a couple years ago, the gimbal started getting "sloppy" - Just had to shim it a little bit.
