giordino Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Hello: Maybe this is a very common question here, I don´t know... I am going to change my joystick (to get another one) Now I have the warthog, and I´m not sure about virpil mongoos t-50 cm with the CM2 Base (What about the Virpil Alpha for DCS?, because it´s newer) or the VKB Gunfigther (or maybe another one). I also wanna try to use extensions (not always but I want to have the chance to test it) The main reason to change is the base, so I´m looking for the best base I can afford. Thanks
Lt_Jaeger Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I switched from TM warthog to VKB Gunfighter with 20cm extension and be pretty happy. In the beginning it needs to get used to, but after the transition and (the bad part) setting up all the input options again, there is no going back. Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk
Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 You could also only buying a base, if your budget is tight. Virpils are compatible with TM stick, and VKB as well with an adapter (unless Im mistaken). Bases from those manufacturers are very well made and far better than Warthog. i5 8400 | 32 Gb RAM | RTX 2080Ti | Virpil Mongoose T-50 base w/ Warthog & Hornet sticks | Warthog throttle | Cougar throttle USB | Orion 2 throttle base w/ Viper & Hornet grips| VKB T-Rudder Mk IV | Oculus Rift S | Buddy-Fox A-10 UFC | 2x TM MFDs & 1x WW DDI | 2x Bass shakers | SIMple SIMpit chair | WW TakeOff panel | Andre JetSeat | WW Hornet UFC | WW Viper ICP FC3 - Warthog - F-5E - Harrier - NTTR - Hornet - Tomcat - Huey - Viper - C-101 - PG - Hip - SuperCarrier - Syria - Warthog II - Hind - South Atlantic - Sinai - Strike Eagle - Phantom - Mirage F1 - Afghanistan - Irak

If you don't plan sell the Warthog, an VirPil T50CM2 base + their set of extension: 100mm, 75mm, 50mm that can be stacked or their 'S' 200 mm extension can be used with Warthog grip.
X-31_VECTOR Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I second (or third) the suggestion to start with a base. When I transitioned away from the Warthog as my stick, I began by putting the Warthog grip on a Virpil WarBrd base, then added an extension to it. The WarBrd base made a huge difference in hovering and even formation flying. Eventually I replaced the Warthog grip with a Virpil T50CM grip for the extra buttons, and haven't regretted it.
Chunk Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I also recommend a different base for the Warthog. I have the original Virpil base with an extension, and it is far superior to the standard Warthog base. I fly the A-10 almost exclusively, so I don’t have a desire to change the actual stick nor the throttle.
