Owl Posted June 6 Posted June 6 I have had Thrustmaster Warthog for a very very long time, and I’m very satisfied with it. But now I am thinking of investing in the Winwing Orion2 HOTAS Max. And therefore I have a few questions I hope you can answer. I can see that the buttons are very similar to the Warthog, so can I just plug the Winwing HOTAS to the computer, or do I have to reconfigure the controls for all my modules again? I have never had a joystick with FFB, so my question is, if it is worth the money? I know Winwing is from China, but does it have a stock in the EU? Beat regards Henrik

Yes you have to reconfigure because your WinWing will show up as a new device in your controller setup. Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600. Monitors: LG 27GL850-B27 2560x1440 + Samsung SyncMaster 2443 1920x1200, HOTAS: Warthog with Virpil WarBRD base, MFG Crosswind pedals, TrackIR4, Rift-S, Elgato Streamdeck XL. Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!

Just to be clear: Even though the HOTAS MAX has a vibration module, this is not to be considered FFB (Force Feddback) really. The stick will not get easier or harder to move…it just vibrates a little.

On the top right of the website you can chose to order from the “EU store“. It seems to be really just a contractor with a warehouse. So don‘t expect to get anyone on the phone there. But it‘s way cheaper that way. 1 vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.
