TonyStovepipe Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Looking to get back into DCS after I have finsihed my degree in May and going through what out there that good for f18 and A10c. I did have ch fighter stick/throttle setup before but I think I would like something new for a change The Orion looks good even though out of stock at the moment, my conern is less hat on the stick could be a problem?

Tom Kazansky Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 "Orion" is just the name of the base(s). The F-16EX stick has more hats than any other stick, afaik. Are you talking about the FA-18 stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyStovepipe Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Yeah I was looking at the f18 one as I do 50/50 f18 and A10 mostly with some Huey and viggen if I feel like it Looking at the F-16EX maybe I should get that on its own with the Orion Throttle FA-18. Best of both then for hats and duel throttle? Edited March 11, 2022 by TonyStovepipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Thanks. I'm thinking about a quite similar HOTAS upgrade. To me the F-16EX stick with the FA-18/A-10 throttle seems to be the most versatile solution. But a Viper stick with a Hornet throttle is something still too odd to come to a satisfying decision.

TonyStovepipe Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Long as it works good it don't matter what it looks like I would rather have more hats then not enough so I don't have to use a modifier and double up what hats do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Did you take a look at the F16EX? To me it seems like a real good thing for users with lots of modules and money/space for just one device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyStovepipe Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Yeah the f16 stick with f18 throttle is what I will buy unless something else comes out or prices goes too high lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godric Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I for one would absolutely but a WW version of the A-10C Throttle grip. It would be nice to have the actual colie hat, China hat and boat switch's rather than improvising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaMike Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The "recce" button is actually a five way hat switch. It's a tiny delicate switch and it's not easy to get a clean center press but it's usable as a four way hat.
