Vivoune Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Having the TM hotas Warthog and it being too stiff for heli I'm looking at adjusting it but in the mean time I was wondering which piece of hardware do you guys use when it comes to helicopters? Cheers! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cichlidfan Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I am using my Warthog but I have added a short (7.5cm) extension to it, which makes quite a bit of difference. ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP! Extreme 8GB, Corsair HX1000i, Phillips BDM4065UC 40" 4k monitor, VX2258 TouchScreen, TIR 5 w/ProClip, TM Warthog, VKB Gladiator Pro, Saitek X56, et. al., MFG Crosswind Pedals #1199, VolairSim Pit, Rift CV1 :thumbup:
PeroperoDokkiri Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Got my G940 yesterday. Perfect for helicopters. My only complain would be pedals- too stiff for precise controll, but will get better after I get used to them. FFB works amazing for trim, cyclic is very precise.

Havner Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) At some point in my sim life I switched from X52pro to Warthog. Then I bought Huey. Total failure... Trying to get my hand on proper greasing solution and some spring mod. In the meantime I "disabled" the springs in my X52pro. Basically made it completely non centering stick (achieved that with shoelace). Just wow! Beside the fact that you can't get your hands of the stick I suppose this is how helis should be flown. No tension, no central point, precise micro adjustments in every phase of the flight :-) I can land on the roof of a building now while previously I was unable to take off in a controllable way. As for the OP question. Get a joy with either a big extension (modded warthog?) for precise movements or something with a little, close to none tension. Probably modded Warthog will do the trick. Hopefully I'll be able to check that soon enough. Edited October 6, 2013 by Havner [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
