sirrah Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Purchased the F-86F today, to keep myself occupied while waiting for the Apache. Found out that the Virpil collective also does a great (immersive) job functioning as a throttle: (also gonna swap the Hornet grip for my Warthog grip as it looks/feels more like the F-86F) To those not familiar with the Sabre throttle, it looks more like a stick: Edited January 23, 2022 by sirrah 2 System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
Priest Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Just curious, why is Cougar throttle mounted in reverse?

CrashMeTwice Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I use my collective as a throttle as well if I fly on rare occasions something different than a heli. I don't find it quite ideal but works OK. Great post! 1
sirrah Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 Perhaps obvious for some, but today I realized/discovered that the Virpil TCS plus base is also very nice to use with the Harrier.
