sirrah Posted May 29, 2024 Posted May 29, 2024 In my everlasting* search for an "affordable" force sensor stick , I came across this website: https://invictuscockpits.com/ And in particular, his Force Transducer mod for the TM Cougar: https://invictuscockpits.com/products/f-16-viper-force-sensor-modification Does anyone here have any experience with this seller, his products and his communication? I must say, his website looks very clear, appealing and promising. * I'd shelved the DCS Viper module a few years, while waiting for the pilot body feature. All that time, I planned to eventually add a force sensor stick to my setup. Now that the pilot body has been implemented, I want to go for it (I don't want my muscle memory to get used to my current and flawed Cougar sidestick). I've seen the Realsimulator FSSB (way too expensive for me to justify), the Winwing Orion 2 MFSSB (still too much to explain to my wife ), the Vipergear VFS-WE (send inquiries but never received an answer), the one Rel4y is working on (no offense, but losing a bit of faith in responsiveness there). Not sure, but it looks like Invictus continued where Vipergear stopped and the force sensor mod price seems quite reasonable. 1 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

sirrah Posted May 31, 2024 Author Posted May 31, 2024 Partial answer to my own OP (just in case anyone else is reading this) I've contacted Invictus (Chris) directly from his website on WhatsApp and he responded really quickly (same evening) and gave me clear answers. He told me he's also working on a new PCB for his force transducer mod, which will replace the oem TM Cougar PCB (which I personally am not fond of) and also allows use of the Warthog grip additional CMS depress function. Anyways, my feeling is very good about this and as soon as Chris has managed to get the new PCB to work, I'm going to place my order 1 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
