davevegas901 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) What joystick-throttle are you happy with in DCS that's not a $400 setup? None of my good old stuff works anymore, suncom f-15e and flcs tqs :^( would love if it did! It was great back in the day. I have a Rhino setup on the way. What else works well and has lots of buttons? And I have seen the articles on USB conversion for suncom and thrustmaster stuff and the guy in france that sells the tqs plug-in USB. I may tackle that another day, but it's too big a project for now. Edited January 8, 2019 by davevegas901 more information
Rudel_chw Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I’m really happy with my TM Cougar ... but it costed 400 on its day, so probably it doesnt count :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
streakeagle Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 I got my first Warthog HOTAS for $350 and many years later when the throttle "bricked", I bought another complete Warthog HOTAS for $380. At one point a couple of years ago, Dell sold the Warthog for $300. If you can get the complete HOTAS (both the throttle and stick together) for $400 or less, the Warthog is the clear choice for DCS World. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kayos Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 X65F is awesome! Will be even nicer with the F-16 since it's doesn't move. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Svsmokey Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) CH fighterstick and Pro throttle . Lasts forever , high-quality switches and lots of them , solid axes . I just wish they would make a dual Hotas throttle :( And why is this thread in the VKB forum ??

Mr_sukebe Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 On the cheap, I bought a Speedlink airrow, which is a vague copy of a VKB gladiator. For the money, really good 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

If you still have them, TM sells the throttle main board as a spare part.
streakeagle Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 If you still have them, TM sells the throttle main board as a spare part. They were out of stock at the time and wouldn't have them in stock for months, so I bought a complete new HOTAS. The throttle by itself cost almost as much as the complete set. The new stick is apparently a better build block, because it doesn't seem to have the sticktion problems of my original stick. But I fly with a VKB stick now, so I have two Warthog sticks collecting dust, one new and unused. One day I will try to get a new board and fix my first throttle. At that point, I may begin building a 2nd sim pit using the new Warthog stick. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I would like to know how they resolved stiction issues.
Tvrdi Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I have Gladiator pro MK1 and Im very pleased with it. A great felling with that progressive resistance and the metal gymbal system is durable. The inputs are very precise. I like KG12 grip as it is a perfect fit for average sized fist unlike MCG. Then there is kosmosima grip now which feels better for not gigantic fists..
