Green Spring

[GrEaSeLiTeNiN]

3 year old Warthog. Decided to get the rather pricey softer green spring by Sahaj to replace the stock spring. Honestly, I couldn't quite tell the difference after changing it. Ok, maybe it's very slightly softer. I think if your stock spring has been seasoned over time (and I could feel it in mine), it's probably not necessary to replace it. Guess I'll have to season this one too before it feels like what I had expected.

I bought one too a while back.

They’re softer than the standard but I still find it too stiff as well. Around Christmas time I was looking at getting a new HOTAS altogether. I couldn’t decide and haven’t found a shop where I could have a proper look though. I don’t fancy spending the kind of money they are based on YouTube reviews etc so I’m still using the chunky WH.

Someone did tell me there’s a yellow spring for it that’s weaker again. I could get an extension but the cost of it all by the time I’d bought more desk-mounts and all I’d be shelling out a few quid. The price of shipping to the UK is just silly for some things so I’ll have to think again.

To think we used to complain about replacing a Kempston Quickshot II every now and then. Those track and field games used to kill em. Wasn’t quite so pricey though.

My hotas is on table top so I was hoping the new spring would be a game changer. But unfortunately it's not  The positive reviews were probably for ppl who changed it when their warthog was new. I'm hoping with time this green spring will feel softer. You could try the new warthog base. But I read somewhere you'll need to rebind the stick (IIRC) but at least its the same layout. Yes lots of new and better hotas out there but to rebind all those modules!

Best you can do IF POSSIBLE, get it down between your legs with and extension. That's a game changer.

There is this other mod method that removes the large spring altogether and brings the 4 small springs up. May be too soft for some but modder says you can add washers below the springs or I've read some replace the 4 springs with slightly stiffer ones.

I believe stronger springs is the better solution, as washers will limit the travel. I actually did that when I got the blue spring and 2x20cm extensions.
