ED Team m4ti140 Posted May 29, 2019 ED Team Posted May 29, 2019 Is the antenna elevation wheel spring-loaded to center? Otherwise that throttle grip is kinda miss...
Sokol1_br Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) .... but why why waste all that space and switches on the "ground power" switches which pilots DO NOT USE AT ALL. Perhaps just for keep the aesthetics of "real thing", after all players use switches in games at their own convenience. ;) Edited May 29, 2019 by Sokol1_br

TheFace Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Without a separate purchasing option for the stick and throttle this will likely sell less than it could. Too many of us already have high end sticks we don't need to replace at this time. F18 grip, while cool, is a definite downgrade for me personally and I wouldn't use it. So until the throttle is available as a single unit no thanks.
Supmua Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Any plan to support other existing Joystick grips such as the Warthog? You know sometimes we also want to fly the A-10c or the F-16.

power5 Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 If you already have a WH could t you just switch to that when you want to brrrt? I for one have been waiting a long time for a more expensive warthog. My only question is if this will also fry the board randomly? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Aaron i7 2600k@4.4ghz, GTX1060-6gb, 16gb DDR3, T16000m, Track IR5 BS2-A10C-UH1-FC3-M2000-F18C-A4E-F14B-BF109
Sokol1_br Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Not that excited about the stick and secretly wished that it had extra buttons... This WW F/A-18C grip count 25 buttons, more than Warthog 23.
Weasel Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Hello Winwing Awesome!!! Of course I will buy this hotas, was looking for such a fantastic Hotas for a long time! Do you plan more panels for the hornet? Maybe a front panel with DDIs, Master Arm and an UFC?
Supmua Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 This WW F/A-18C grip count 25 buttons, more than Warthog 23. I guess I missed the mini 4 way/push button on the first glance, thought it had fewer switches than the Warthog grip. It's not bad then, still not as many as the MCG Pro or T-50CM2's button but I can live with that as long as it's equivalent to the Warthog. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

Sokol1_br Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) WingWing This black line in picture of gimbal suggest a kind of "steep" in gimbal center system - what in "pincer" gimbal system is know in cause an tactile and audible "clunk" when grip reach or cross center position. https://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/uploads/monthly_2019_05/image.png.a75a551ac2d8d8499f03d43217cd5b48.png But text in advertisement* say CAM...Is used a mix of CAM and "pincer" for center system? * BTW - In throttle grips description says "1x brake lever". But none lever are visible in picture - neither F-18 has "brake lever" in throttle grips. Is this? A brake lever in throttle? Or perhaps refer to "friction adjust lever" at right of throttle grips, being used as analog axis lever like in Warthog. Edited May 30, 2019 by Sokol1_br

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 If you get a review sample to those guys I will definitely consider purchasing this. I am in the market for a new HOTAS and this looks impressive so far. But I cant make a decision based on looks alone. Thank you! We are working on it step by step, when ready for deliver, first package will be for some one review!

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 I'll order if you don't screw around with wait times, dodgy "pre-orders" and restocks like any other "high end" company other there. In other words - you have it in stock, I'll pay for it, you then ship it to me next day. I'll even send you a postcard if you manage to achieve the above :) I'll be super happy if you guys would be a real competition to these who I don't mention. What is the weight of the throttle and stick? We will try our best! Pre-order will not open if we found we can not deliver in time!

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 I'm sure it wouldn't have happened in the native Chinese version of the deck. I care much more about the gimbal design and throw of the throttles and the feel of the buttons/triggers, and the software design. As a non-native English speaker (I came to the US when I was 14) who had to go through English as a second language class, I have more tolerance for foreigners making typos in a language that's not native to them. Thank you hansangb, There will be a Launch events in Shanghai, Chinese pilot can test onsite. I will talk about more detail of the Gimbal.

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 Well, for throttle+throttle grips and maybe panels I might have been interested. Not paying for a high-end stick when I already have two Gunfighters. I'll wait and hope it becomes available separately at a later time, also when it's out in the wild and proven by independent sources. I'd be extra interested if you handle the importing and ship to me from within the EU. Please waiting for more info about our joystick, maybe it looks normal, but it's really a perfect one!

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 I’m definitely interested in this, but my question is whether the stick will be able to mount to an Obutto? I suppose I’d have to build a throttle mount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Dear Rogue, we will do our best to help this, your suggestion is very important. But, I think you should ask Obutto!!They will listen to you then me.

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 This looks amazing! So to clarify the preorders will come with the Joystick extension? I don't think I could go back to flying without one.

WINWING Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 I really like the idea of customizable throttle grip. And, the throttle panel just puts everything else to shame. Not that excited about the stick and secretly wished that it had extra buttons but you know what, I'm looking forward to these more than any new VR headsets. I'm in! Thank you Supmua, more surprise will come out later. Please see my update in 1st page.

Bullant Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 This looks amazing, will start saving now. Will want to see a review by at least one respected DCS reviewer first though ;) However, one dealbreaker ... is the "flight ops panel" permanently attached to the throttle base or can it be removed? It's a great idea, but my eventual plans are a full cockpit and I need the throttle without the panel attached for that purpose.

Fusedspine33 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Winwing, Can you please provide a projected time to ship from pre-order. It is understood delays may be unavoidable.
aniron Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Dear pilots, Please waiting for more info about our joystick, it's more than it look like. You don't want it now because you think it's the same as the one you have. Not a question about wanting it or not. I'm sure it is an excellent joystick. Unless it has force feedback or something it simply isn't enough of an upgrade for someone like me to abandon the multiple grips and sticks I already have from VKB.
