rogue_blade Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Hi I'm interested in getting the MongoosT-50 as I get back into SIMs with VR. My previous stick when I played Flaming Cliffs was an X52 original. I'm seeing a lot of concern from Warthog users and other stick brands who say it's hard to use the Virpil stick with US aircraft control (slewing and hats). This worried me in my research as I only tend to fly US aircraft. But then thinking about it and looking back at my old X52, it never had a thumb hat or anything Warthog similar, and I think I managed fine in the F15C. If I recall correctly, I actually used a throttle nipple stick to aim my radar. So based on that, would I really have that hard a time mapping the Virpil stick to the US aircraft controls, or is it more so a concern for hardcore enthusiasts who want near matching experiences? edit: holy cow I have 383 posts, I must of been an active monkey......10 years ago Edited April 17, 2018 by rogue_blade [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefoot Bandit Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The main thing is the 4 way + push hat at the thumb. Once you are used to that, it’s very hard to get un-used ot it. If that is a concern, buy a T-50 or WarBRD base, and order a Warthog grip as a spare part from Thrustmaster. Problem solved. Z... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
