DejmienoPl Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Hi guys, I own Logitech x56 HOTAS but I'm thinking about to replace it with something better, for sure for something which is not made from plastic. Most important is to upgrade stick, I can live with x56 throttle if upgrade is not game changer. Visually, I fall in love with WKB Gunfighter IV Ultimate... but it's quite expensive. With discount I can afford it for 608 EUR with shipment. In my budget I'm able to buy only stick, and leave throttle for another month. In the same budget in WINWING I can buy full HOTAS Orion2 MAX or buy only stick and instead of upgrading throttle just buy rudder pedals (currently I use small stick on x56 throttle to control rudder). Any advice? Is Gunfighter really worth the price? I'm flying F-14 Tomcat with plans to also learn F-4 Phantom, F-16, Mig-29 Falcon and Apache. 1
MAXsenna Posted 26 minutes ago Posted 26 minutes ago (edited) @DejmienoPl If you're going to spend that much money, and you mostly fly the F-14, plan on F-4 and helicopters. You WILL regret down the line not getting a force feedback base. Even if you have to wait a little to save up more money. The FFB bases you can consider are the FFBeast and the VPForce Rhino, which both are made by enthusiasts and can also be done as a DIY project. There is also the Moza base, which might even fit your budget. Winwing and Virpil have plans to release FFB bases in the future. They will probably be better than the Moza, while I highly doubt they will have the flexibility and telemetry of the Rhino, and the strength of the Beast. Cheers! Edited 21 minutes ago by MAXsenna
