I Did It Again


BuzzU

Recommended Posts

I took a break from flight sims to race cars. (GPL) I'm an old fart and developed a knee problem from pushing the brake on my Fanatec pedals. So, back to flight sims.

 

I just bought another Warthog and TPR pedals. I've always used lousy pedals in flight sims (CH) and wanted to try something nicer. The TPR pedals are way more than I wanted to spend but it should be the last pedals i'll ever buy. $970 for stick and pedals. Cripes!

 

I wanted a Virpil but they were out of stock as usual and I bought the TM stuff at Dell and financed it. I'll do the normal mods to the Warthog and it should be fine. Especially, for the A-10C. I like not having to program it.

 

The pedals are way overkill for the Hornet but should be good for the Hog and P-51.

 

Anyway.............I'm Back!

 

Anybody got a Trackir5 like new for sale?

I suggest spring mods vs extension tube for the stick if you find it too stiff, and deltasim’s slew mod for the throttle.

 

I’d love to get the TPR, but going to wait for the price to come down a bit.

I agree. On my last Warthog, I used the green spring instead of an extension. It worked really good.

 

For those interested. You can get it here.

How much of a difference did was there with the sahaj's Green Springs vs Stock?

 

Looking at either the Green Spring or his 7.5cm Extension. I have an Obutto though so the extension may be a little high.

The green spring is pretty light and made for those who don't want to use an extension. I wouldn't use both.

 

Do you have experience with both, sperately...ie how do they feel compared to one another?

 

Thanks, Buzz!

Don't feel bad, I too am an old fart and I'm on my third trip around. Got out about a year ago. Now I've been back about 2 months. I don't want to know how much I spent this time around. Another Warthog, another set of MFG Crosswinds, another FSSB R3 Lighting, Monstertech table mounts, Oculus Rift S, TM F/A-18C grip, RTX 2080 video card, 16GB more ram. Anyway welcome back.

good job. I have all what you listed, and I recently switched for a Virpil base with a hornet stick and an extension. Amazing.

 

You will love the TPR

 

 

funny enough. you know what bought yesterday ? A F1 playseat and I ordered the F1 thrustmaster wheel LoL

Sorry, i've been busy. I've never had an extension. My setup doesn't have the room. That's why the lighter spring appealed to me. I would think an extension that gives a longer throw would be better.
