They are easy to find and can make things a lot easier for someone who can't see as well (I don't use VR but it's pretty large so, shouldn't be hard) As for extra buttons? Who knows...can't go wrong with spreading things out though, binding buttons on it for less used functions possibly. I bought it because I figured if I'm spending 1200 already, I may as well add it on lmao. I got my CM2 for the same reason, I was already there spending a bunch so why not. Now I want the CM1 and the Collective and I will have a complete set minus a couple of grips that I do not need right now.
skywalker22 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Posted July 31, 2021 A question, regarding new detents on CM3, lets say, if we take F/A-18, is it possible now to use the throttle and detents instead of Shift/Alt + Home keys for start-up the both engines?
kingtintony Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 In reply to the original question, I did post about the way the Virpil hats work:

I am only here to investigate if its worth of spending 500€ for the throttle or not. And I don`t really care about the money, I have plenty of it, but I would like to spend it good, not that I would be disappointed as soon as I would try it 1st time out. The question is, which planes do you fly, which buttons do you use? Do you use any of those 5 way buttons? And what are your thoughts on them? I have a CM3. The switches are definitely mediocre, in my opinion, but they are above average for consumer sim gear and I would say that it's currently the best throttle available, certainly the most versatile. I would like something better but it does not seem to exist.

Yes, you can bind virtual buttons to the area of the axis behind the shut off detent and then map release of that to the start/shut off function.

I had bought it back then, and also had sold it in a couple of months. I haven't like it at all. I'm back to my old TWCS, works like charm for 6 yrs now. I was thinking of maybe buying VKB's STACS, but I think I don't really need it.
