BlacleyCole Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Ok who all fly the viper with a side stick like the real thing or do you fly it with a center stick like most fighters? I’m not sure how to do a poll here. Edited December 28, 2019 by BlacleyCole BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.

Strikeeagle345 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I use center stick, because thats my mounted setup. At some point, I will get the pressure base and put my warthog stick on that and mount it to the side. Then use the hornet stick in the center mount.

Deano87 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Side stick. Actually a FSSB R3 Lighting with the 12 degree axis offset just like the real thing. Feels great! I use a centre stick for most other aircraft.

sniperpr1 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Well, I think that you have better access to the desk with side stck. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I use a stock TM Warthog side stick for the F-16C and A-10C and a Hornet grip on a VPC T-50 base with an extension and a desk mount, for everything else. If I had to choose one, I'd keep the one in the middle, for the added precision. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Chuck_Henry Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I use a center stick since 3 out of the 4 modules I fly (F-5, F/A-18, F-14, F-16) use them. I'm not going to shift my mount just for the Viper, even if it isn't quite realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fri13 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 If you fly only viper, then side stick. If you fly others too, center. I had couple years a side mounted stick, and returned after all that time to center, and really prefer the center stick. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

JumpinK Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 had to make another investment on the controls when the 16 came out. now with side stick of course! :joystick: "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great.

FerdeLance Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I have tried to do side stick, but for some reason it is too awkward to me.

javelina1 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Side stick for all of my birds... Much better access to the keyboard and desktop for me.

FerdeLance Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Lol. I'm the opposite. Cant fly center because it's not comfortable at all for me. Interesting lol. I don't know could be just muscle memory for me using center stick. But, I haven't had any luck getting used to the side stick. I might give it another try though, couldn't hurt lol. 160th Virtual Fighter Squadron "Dixie Vipers" Alabama Virtual Air National Guard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmtb Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Same as Javelina1 - have always used side stick, have the stick turned a little on the desk mount to offset it not being in the center.

Sarge55 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Side stick all the time, easier access to the keyboard, MFD's and mouse. It's pretty natural feeling now. Maybe one day if I build a pit I can do both...

JUICE-AWG Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I use side stick as I use my PC for other needs and the side stick controller allows for less infrastructure to setup.
