Lets go Virpil

but almost everything can be ordered from Virpil.

 

Yep... Almost. I´m trying to buy the mongoost base for a long time and it is out of stock too. :(

If only...

... there was an FFB base for all those nice grips...

 

hear hear!

 

I simply cant justify spending 100s on a stick that has no force feedback. So my old MS FFB2 just has to soldier on, with spare sticks sitting on a shelve if ever I need them, despite its shortcomings (although frankly, when combined with a throttle with enough sliders/buttons/hat switches, its actually quite usable at least in the F14)

 

My understanding is that we have not seen a decent FFB stick for almost 2 decades due to patent licensing issues, but those patents should be expiring around now. So Im holding off buying anything expensive.

There's a chap somewhere on these forums though whos working on a 3rd party application for DCS to support the brunner ffb base, has some functionality for spring forces and a working GUI so far from what I can gather, he intends to add more functionality.

 

Brunner themselves should be releasing something this year for official DCS support but word is that's just going to be basic spring & trim forces, though if enough DCS fans with deep pockets buy the stick and encourage its development who knows?

 

I'm willing to accept gifts if only to get those sales numbers up :P:joystick:

 

 

Ranma13 Yeah im following him like a hawk :)

VIRPIL also have pretty good customer support. They are pretty quick with responses and have sent me software updates and spare parts to resolve small issue I've had here and there. Would definitely recommend them.
