Comparison between flight control device!

[DLDragon]

Dear Virpils,

I did not play DCS (fly) for a long time, recently I bought new PC and connected my old X-52 controls. Its working fine, but I wanted new experience with professional flight sticks. Now, I'm thinking about to buy new flight control device (grip with base, thrust and pedal). Would you please share your experience with different type of flight controls in term of price, quality, comfort & etc, I believe that there are main manufactures of flight controls as Thrustmaster, Virpil Controls, WinWing, VKB-Sim on the market. At least, I'm considering those as good HOTAS controls. I tried to search comparison and I didn't manage to find, I know that nobody has compare all of it, but if anybody has chance. I saw some reviews of those product for sure, but didn't satisfied with it. I'd appreciate any opinion! Thanks!!!

My short and sweet:

I am running a VKB Gunfighter Mk III Pro with 200mm  extension center mounted, a Virpil CM3 Throttle, and MFG Crosswind Pedals and absolutely love all three. Very high quality. Also in addition when flying chopper I remove my Virpil Throttle and use a Virpil Rotor Collective.

My VKB Gunfighter Pro L Review

I would also note since that Gunfighter Review I have also replaced the MCG Grip with the Ultimate metal grip.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for sharing experience. I've read part of thread. I've decided to buy devices from VirPil, because Belarus is nearby my country. 

Can anybody suggest, what kind of device to buy, specially I don't have a clue about Desk mounts and extensions. What kind of desk mount is suitable for simple desk to install base with stick and throttle, do I really need extension for comfortable play and if need then what to buy? So, devices are following:

1. VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime Grip

2. VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Base

3. VPC ACE Flight Rudder Pedals - there are different types of pedals, please suggest most comfortable one and what for other pedals.

4. VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle

5. VPC Desk Mount V4 - S

6. VPC Desk Mount Adapter - МT-50CM3 Base

Possibly, I missed some required accessories, feel free to comment. Thanks
