WINWING Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) 27th,Jan,2020 NOTICE Thanks for everyone's support in this forums from the first day we announce the HOTAS. Due to the recent national epidemic. The government has demanded that public holidays be extended to February 8. The original plan to ship 2nd batch preorder units on February 1 has changed and needs to be re-determined as the case may be. We are sorry for the delay.We will no longer implement the pre-order method. We plan to maintain a long-term stock after the impact of the epidemic, and we will ship the goods 72 hours after the order is placed. Best for your all, WINWING ************************************************************* First batch preorder units all shipped. Some customers received their lovely HOTAS. Here are some photos shared from our Chinese customers. And overseas customers enjoy together!!! Follow this thread and let me know what do you feel with our HOTAS, thank you!

RogueSqdn Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I got mine yesterday and got the cockpit mount finished this morning. Won’t be able to fly until tomorrow night due to family plans, but first impression is that it’s well put together and axis response seems smooth.

capthaltli Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Got the unit installed and liking it so far. [sIGPIC] "GOONIE" [/sIGPIC] "GOONIE" CSG-1 VFA-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capthaltli Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Question to Winwing or guys who have the throttle, when using the Radar Elevation control wheel (wheel on right throttle mount near the TDC), it works fine for adjusting the Radar elevation, but when using it for the Targeting pod zoom in and out, it keeps recentering (as the wheel is spring loaded to center). Has anyone found away around this, to keep the TGP to stay zoomed in when using the control on the throttle. Doesn't seem right to me.

I do not know if the Winwing software provide this functionality yet (I don't have the Winwing Hotas). If not I advise to use Vjoy+Joystick Gremlin. Very easy to setup in Gremlin. (no script).

Shadoga Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 very sorry not yet! but we are try to improve this business. Thank you for the info anyways, and I hope there will be availability without import stress one day! There are many possibilities to look into, like e.g. an exclusive small "one-man" retailer like VKB has in Europe with flightsimcontrols.com or maybe a large flightsim retailer like Aerosoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capthaltli Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks Winwing, i downloaded the sim app pro software. I will see if I can program the wheel to get the effect I want on the radar. Is their a guide on how to use the sim app pro? Thanks! [sIGPIC] "GOONIE" [/sIGPIC] "GOONIE" CSG-1 VFA-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a big surprise later in the SIMAPP PRO. Will there be a solution for the TGP zoom failure?

azzameen Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hello, I think I have found the solution, you have to put a little bit of dead zone to the Z axis, with that, the zoom of the TGP works perfectly, or at least it doesn't go to one of the extremes. I hope it's useful I9 13900K, 64GB RAM, GTX 4090, 2TBx4 SSD, Quest 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone found away around this, to keep the TGP to stay zoomed in when using the control on the throttle. Doesn't seem right to me. The way WINWING has the elevation wheel is correct per the real plane. Both zoom and radar axis are relative, so I don't get how you've got a problem?!

Waxer Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 So... this thread has gone quiet again. For those that did not take the plunge... Can anyone that has taken delivery of Winwing's HOTAS please share early impressions from their use of the equipment over Xmas? I am sure there are many that would be interested in user impressions. Thank you. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
