skywalker22 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I`m just simply unable to do a refuel in the air, no matter which aircraft. Hotas is awesome for all rest but air refueling. It`s just so unprecise for to do a proper refuel. The main problem lies in TWCS throttle control, just can`t adjust the speed accordingly. And also the X,Y axis on the joystick it self is not great for suck maneuvers as well. Do you guys have any suggestion how to deal with it, because I don`t. Or this hotas is just simply not good enough for that? I tried with Mirage, I even succeeded ones to come into contact, and I wasn`t able to keep it there. With F-16 its just a mission impossible to keep the aircraft steady bellow the tanker. ps: I`m thinking of getting some better HOTAS for some time, and I would say its about time now.

Funkysak Posted October 9, 2021 Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Mistermann you are my hero! I have the TWCS and have been considering a replacement, but this may just be what I need. I've avoided multi-player because I felt I needed a warthog hotas and with the pandemic finding the throttle and stick combo has been impossible! So I ordered this, not from CoreHawk3D sadly but his competitor. The other guy has more options and better detents. So my mod came 10/20/21 and I ordered one with the LM8LUU bearings. I HIGHLY recommend these bearings for DCS! The longer bearings are more precise and give a tactile feed back you can feel to make minute changes. Not only is this great for refueling but the biggest improvement I had was my ability to fly helicopters. With the standard TWCS I would run into trouble often in the transition from flight to hover and would often drop like a brick. Now, with this bearing mod I am one with the Helicopter and can land right where I want! I'm loving it! This modification is a MUST HAVE if you own this throttle and play DCS. You WILL NOT regret it. It elevates the quality of the TWCS to that of its higher end brothers. And it is great for budget minded people.
