kreidel Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The worst time for this to happen since everything is unattainable due to the pandemic but what would make a good replacement for my Thrustmaster? I know I will have to wait so as long as it's within 3-4 months I would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSally Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Depends on how much you wish to spend... Currently the best - https://wwsimstore.com/p/316.html or Not bad at all - https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-mongoost-50cm2-throttle.html Coming from a Warthog, I doubt you would want anything else.

Rudel_chw Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Why not attempting a repair? Thrustmaster should be able to provide spare parts.

kreidel Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Thanks, I will look into those throttles, that F18 one looks awesome. As far as repairing I always have bad luck trying to get stuff repaired so instead of possibly wasting more money I can just buy something new. It does suck because I have the deltasims slew upgrade for a few months which was a nice upgrade to the TM throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmodrow Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 My mistake...hopefully their throttle comes to fruition this year.

If you get it repaired and it's functional you could sell it with the slew upgrade for like $300 right now. It's probably worth taking the chance, but it's your money.
