What's the name of that Warthog F-16 fixed base mod?


Recommended Posts

Some time ago I considered replacing my Warthog flight stick base with a mod that makes it work like in the real Viper; fixed to the center and just reading the pressure applied by the pilot. I'd like to look into that again but I can't find it anywhere. Has anyone got that mod? Any hints on how to find it, or recommendations why I should/shouldn't?

I have the FSSB for the Warthog/Viper stick.  I like it, but takes a little adapting to, and there is still a tiny bit of slack which I don't like - due to the TM/FSSB interface.  Might be better with the Realsimulator stick, but not sure I want to spend that much to find out.

I spent that much to find out. Had wiggle issues using TM stick on FSSB that I could not solve. Bought a second TM grip, same thing. Bought the RS F16 grip and castle cup. It came in a nice wooden box. Attached it to the base.. really solid with no wiggle at all. Bonus with the RS grip I didn't realize until I used it is all the buttons are 5-way hats. Also it's really light, which along with the solid attachment makes it feel more responsive than the TM grip.

Good to know, I might have to take a look when they have more stock.
