Controlling the Apache

[Wolf1964]

Hi Folks,

to those of you flying yje Apache mod:  is it easy to control with a regular HOTAS?  I find it almost impossible to hover.

Will a controller like this help?  https://www.aliexpress.com/p/tesla-landing/index.html?scenario=c_ppc_item_bridge&productId=1005008636927632&_immersiveMode=true&withMainCard=true&src=google&aff_platform=true&isdl=y&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=494-037-6276&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005008636927632&ds_e_product_merchant_id=5320985468&ds_e_product_country=GB&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=17859500389&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=17190468917&gbraid=0AAAAADznYb_yMYvcrQnyygWtbReVN6HCX&gclid=CjwKCAjwmNLHBhA4EiwA3ts3mU_Fxb3y24Ua79NZELmQOmyVOZ4W7SgeyZmMPXMf2u8phmkyBBqhIBoCFYQQAvD_BwE

If it's possible to fly it with my existing HOTAS, I'd appreciate some tips.  I just use CH kit - stick, pro throttle and rudder.

Thanks in advance.

I was getting better at it with my Orion2 and Kaltokri Rhino FFB, these aren't really comparable to short(er) throw CH peripherals though

Since apparently people can make do with basic gear and even keyboard, Hovering like a pro seems more a learning curve than a gear problem

 

...speaking of curves, have you tried setting custom curves? Because 1 basic is tiny movements, which are easier with a longer throw, but having a short stick using longer sloped curves might compensate a bit

 

...your link doesn't show me an actual product btw
