Orion 2 waiting room...anybody got one yet?

Ordered an Orion2 F-16EX Viper Joystick Combo yesterday and it was shipped today. It'll be interesting to see how it fairs against my well used libra

Just my experience.  Last Friday night I ordered the F-16EX / Shake Kit.  Today it arrived.  So 7 days from order to receipt here in Canada.  

Dang! That's awesome bud! Glad to hear it was so freakin quick mate!

Ordered, the Orion2 F-16  late on Tue, would have been early Wednesday morning in China, shipped the same day.

Being delivered today, so under a week for an in stock item to the UK, they are very quick now.

Mine got here yesterday. Took a bit of time setting up but it's now working just fine. I need to adjust the idle stop though cause it doesn't align for some reason.

Did you calibrate the throttle? Is it the orion2 with F16 throttle handle?

If I remember right I first had to calibrate the full axis from idle to full afterburner and in the next step from idle to the afterburner detent.

The winwing manual is a little bit misleading.

Also I had to do minimal finetuning in DCS Axis setup until it was perfectly aligned. After that the afterburner kicked in where it should.

See the picture of my curve:

It's Macross for me, but yeah haha. I wish someone made a VF model for DCS.. any really (I love the VF-25 personally). It'd be so fun lol

My F16EX with Orion2 base arrived today. Very impressed and quite an improvement on my 2+ yr old Libra. I did replace the Orion's springs with the ones from my Libra to provide a bit more force. All in all an excellent piece of kit!
