tonym Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Does anyone know how to reduce the centering spring pressure of the Warthog stick. I think that this would greatly improve the situation when flying helicopters. TonyM

I have the same stick, but it's not something I have tried.
DTWD Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Purchasing/building your own extension gives the effect of a loosened spring and gives greater control. I got the 12.5cm one from here: http://www.simpit.co.nz/index.php/products/thrustmaster-warthog-extension Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

jcbak Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 The simplest way is to just double the 4 small springs that are located on the posts. Buy 4 similar sized springs and just place them on top of the 4 that are already there. Be aware that the flange that rides up and down is tight around those posts. If you reduce the resistance of the main spring you may run into some sticking. I suggest some silicone spray in the four flange holes. I've tried the plastic lubricants, silicone grease, etc......nothing worked as well as the silicone spray.....and it lasts.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 3, 2015 ED Team Posted June 3, 2015 I use a 19" extension, and I recentre with the help of some well placed bungee cord. I do not think I could fly without my extension now, it would feel very strange. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
