Vibora Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi all. I had the priviledge to test the new FSSB R3 Warthog mod from RealSimulator during last weeks. RealSimulator is a Spanish enterprise based in Madrid, specialized in high quality air simulation products and aviation industry among others. You may have a look at the article I wrote about it in the following link.

Ebs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Oof. 450 euros plus shipping. Nice review btw. Looks like an extremely well made piece of hardware. If it was 250 id probably be tempted. But 450 gets me another warthog and combat pedals! Ill pass for now. Edited March 5, 2013 by Ebs Check out my guide to JSGME for DCS World.

MagicBra Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks for the info :) Going through this post : http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3711699/Re_FSSB_R3_for_Warthog_now_ava#Post3711699 I couldn't find if the warthog throttle remained active or not (still visible in Target ?)

Gunnergolly Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The FSSB R3 can be used with the Target software and integrates perfectly ok with the throttle quadrant. In order for it to be be recognised you just need to remove the HOTAS interface board from your original joystick base and refit it into your new FSSB sensor base as shown in the video below.

Chephren Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Is it possible to use the FSSB R3 warthog center mounted? Or ist it only made für Desktop use. I can imagine, that the force you put into Stick when Center mounted is to strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 You shouldn't be, or need to be, using any more force when the stick is center mounted. My unmodded Warthog is center mounted and the primary difference is that it is now more comfortable. I would think that you should find it easier to use more accurately when it is in between your legs, with or without the FSSB mod.

MACADEMIC Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm wondering about something, hope the FFSB 3 users can answer. I noticed in a video posted above that required control force input can be set on ground - but, can they change dynamically depending on condition of flight? If yes, that would amount to some kind of built in force feedback, wouldn't it? MAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitMaster Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Good Info Icarus, that ruled out that stick for me as I am about to get a Warthog combo and just saw the FSSB recently.

Fixxxer46 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just ordered the FSSB R3. I fly mostly MiG21, Su27, Bf109,Fw190, Huey,Ka50. I've been told it was an awesome feel flying with it, and excellent precision/smoothness. Even when flying 'copters. I'll report back when i get it and have tested it out.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have one; it's brilliant. I'm an advocate of getting the very best controllers you can afford. It never pays to get cheap stuff in the long run, and you'll enjoy simming all the more while you're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi FS, I've had one for about 2 weeks now and would love to hear how people have it set up and what type of settings they're using. Also, with which aircraft do you use it? Right now I've got it center mounted pretty much where it'd be in an A-10. And I'm finding that quick rolls to the right when dogfighting with the Sabre causes some soreness in the forearm/elbow even at 2.50 lbs. I've heard from some that it's a matter of getting used to how it works, but I've not yet heard a useful elaboration of that. Any guidance would be appreciated. i9 9900k - GTX 2080 Ti - MSI Z87 GD65 Mobo - 64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4 3200MHz - Win10 64 bit - TM Warthog w FSSB R3 mod - TrackIr 5.

I've heard from some that it's a matter of getting used to how it works, but I've not yet heard a useful elaboration of that. Any guidance would be appreciated. I've got mine centre mounted also. I use it for all aircraft, and just use the default settings. Not much to elaborate on getting used to it, it just takes a bit of time. I found it strange at first, wondered how I'd ever get used to it, then a few weeks later found myself flying with it as if I'd had it forever. Why would anyone use FSSB for a Warthog (or MiG21, Su27, Bf109, Fw190, Huey, Ka50 for that matter)? The Warthog does not even have a force sensing stick. I use it for F-16 mostly and use a stock Warthog for most everything else. Its more realistic that way. Seems to me it is kinda like putting a DRS (drag reduction system) on a dump truck. If you mostly fly aircraft that have force sensing it makes sense, otherwise its unrealistic and pointless, unless you are trying to get an unrealistic edge or something. Because the FSSB is ultra precise and the original warthog base is terrible. There's nothing realistic about the original warthog base anyway. The stick forces aren't strong enough, and no plane I've ever come across has a centre bump in the middle of its range either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisibull Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for that, FS. Do you have your stick rotated to the left at all, and what height is the stick in relation to your body? I agree with FS that the Warthog stock stick base with its well known stiction issues leaves a lot to be desired, and that the FSSB R3 is a huge improvement over it. Also, the customer service provided by Manuel at RealSimulator is easily the best I've ever seen in all my years of flight simming. The man has literally written custom firmware for me in order to make sure I was enjoying his product to its fullest. i9 9900k - GTX 2080 Ti - MSI Z87 GD65 Mobo - 64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4 3200MHz - Win10 64 bit - TM Warthog w FSSB R3 mod - TrackIr 5.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yes I have it rotated to the left slightly. I've got mine mounted at waist height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
