Aviators Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 What do you recommend to fly with DCS? the 1 or 2? 1) http://www.wheelstandpro.com/products/wheel-stand-pro-for-thrustmaster-hotas-warthog--deluxe-v2 2) https://www.monstertech.de/en/product/flight-stand/ L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza.
JG14_Smil Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 #1 is no different than a desk. I vote #2.
Openhand Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I have only tried #1 wheelstand pro but i think the center rod that holds up the hotas accidentally increases immersion because you can feel it sometimes and when you move your joystick you can feel a rod / cylinder between your legs like you should it makes me think i am actually holding the joystick that i see in the cockpit. For me #1 wheelstand pro feels great on top and the center cylinder, but i think i'll adjust the bottom a bit so the flight pedals are closer to me so they are a bit easier to reach (i am not the longest person) :P It also supports flight pedals, i dunno about 2, it looks truly basic even though it is more expensive, the #1 wheelstand pro can also be equipped with other plates to support other things and you can easily swap up the top plate if you want to use something else there, heck maybe even make it a dining table lol, the lower plate for the flight pedals will require a tool probably and is not as easy to swap out. So if you want to play racing games with racing pedals and flight sims with flight pedals i dunno what you should do, i would try to drive with the flight pedals, i think the toe brakes can be used as accel and brakes?
Thadiun Okona Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Monstertech, hands down. That thing is really stiff, so 100% of your motion is crisply translated into inputs and makes it easier to be very precise. Those wheelstands wobble/flex as much as they look like they would, which is enough to be annoying imo. On the Monstertech mount you can slide the stick to the center position if you want to fly center stick. They'll also make you a custom plate as well if you wind up with an extension that increases the arc etc, Olsen runs a tight ship and there products are developed with a lot of community interaction and feedback so wind up pretty refined. Real cockpits are rock solid like this and imo that provides a great deal of immersion in itself. I have a real pet peeve for even the slightest wobble of a stand a peripheral is mounted to, so to me there is no comparison here.
