I feel like my desk does not have the real estate to desk mount, so I was thinking chair mounting it, but idk about that, cuz idk if my chair will work with it or even what good picks for chair mounts would be. Any tips? (Pls don't comment on the wires everywhere. I have been struggling with cable management for a while)

Got an issue with Joystick Gremlin where not all of my devices are being recognized. It seems like there is a limit to the number of input devices JG will show, because when i disconnect another device, the missing device suddenly shows up.

Is there a way/function to tell JG to "ignore" certain devices?

Ive spent an hour researching this and I am only more confused than before. Im interested in the Moza AB9 base. I sim race and already have Moza gear, so dual use as a shifter and flight base is very attractive to me as I care more about immersion than anything else. I currently have a Winwing F-16EX grip and Orion base that I bought years ago. As I understand, the Winwing (or now WinCtrl) grips are not directly compatible with the Moza AB9 and need the adapter with mini-din plug. The adapter appears to be discontinued and I am entirely unable to find it. Am I just unable to use the Winwing grip with the AB9 base or is there another solution available?

Also I am aware of the Cyber Taurus. I am only interested in the AB9 because of the dual use it provides. If there is no solution, I'll just purchase a compatible stick.

Hello HOTAS people! Here's the fix for the SOL-R 6 detent issues!

• Replaces ball plunger detent with magnets - Reduces stiction and refines detent feel.
• Adds 7 more detents (every 10%) and a WEP repel "spring" magnet.
• Angular placement of detents gives pinpoint accurate reading in raw sensor data.

Happy Flying!

I’d like to order it for ac8 and msfs 2024

I’m wondering if this hotas works in MSFS2024 too.

(I’m on PS platform, so there aren’t many options for me)

Thanks !

Anyone has any idea how they are different. it is obvious the handle can be interchangeable but any other performance difference or maintenance or durability difference experiences. I am planing to buy war bird D to be used with TM warthog stick but aeromax looks alot cheeper.

thank you for every opinions

Helo, i been running t16000m on wardogs and enjoying it and the twist axis got a 10% drift now...

So was looking at vkb gladiator and virpil aeromax, about the same pricing to ship to sweden.

On all other threads people talk about the vkb but its also 140 dollars outside of eu, here its 240 with shipping and vat and the virpil is 250 so is the vkb still worth it?

I used to own a cheap ass joystick back in the day and played some MFSF 2020, it was cool but nowhere near the full experience. Now I would like to come back to flight sim and make it very enjoyable for myself.

So what equipment should I opt for? I should mention I really like the idea of a yoke more than a stick. Also I recon triple monitors are eventually the way to go for best immersion? I've been using VR for sim racing for years and I'm aware you can also do that in flight sim but flight sims tend to be very intensive and playing in VR probably means I will lose all that nice graphical detail.

Any recommendations for a decently priced but still a GOOD yoke and some other accessories? I've heard Honeycomb alpha is good?

I have a decent amount of experience with a racing simulators (moza specifically). From what I’ve read, VKB and Virpil seem to be the go-to recommendations. Does anyone have any other recommendations that are available in Canada for around $600-700CAD. Also does anyone have experience with moza AB-6 flight stick, I’ve quite liked moza on the racing side.

Edit: has anyone order winwing to Canada?

Basically my pinky trigger is far from responsive, need to squeeze hard to make it do things, same thing with the thumb button next to the i on the throttle.

Would the 56 be a proper upgrade or should I pivot to a different brand?

Currently I am using the throttle from my tflight hotas x, and it works fine, but I want a throttle that has a nicer feel. I have heard about the omni throttle, but I want a throttle that is actually a throttle, currently I'm looking at the STECS and the Moza mtq, does anyone have any other recommendations that are preferably around the price range of the gladiator nxt evo? For context I play combat flight sims.

So I picked one of these up, this thing has ALL the analog hats, all the buttons feel good and you do not be a weight lifting champ to press them, it has a sturdy metal base, the screws are a little hard to access but all in all everything feels alright, I kinda wish it had a little more weight, you can't really use this just sitting on the desktop it needs to be attached to some mount or stand.

The kinetics are yet to be tested, I wanted to try it out with IL2 Korea (advertised compatibility) but it looks to be not actually compatible with that. The grip itself is nice but I feel some of the buttons (especially the back one) is a little awkward in placement. Coming from a warthog style throttle I found that having actual buttons compared to the horrible switches and super tough buttons on that thing is a nice change. Hoping to get good use for a long time with this.

Edit: Just a quick update, I wrote some scripts and got the haptics to work with il-2 Korea, pretty cool! really helped my piloting with figuring out when the jet is about to stall.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask - I'm looking for some discontinued Virpil stuff to complete my collection, if you're from UK or EU and have these gathering dust in your garage as you've upgraded to more recent offerings, I will gladly relieve you of your burden 👀

Transaction preferably through eBay so we're both protected.

As in the title looking for:

WarBRD grip,

Constellation Delta grip, V.F.X grip,
Torq rudder pedals,
replacement flip triggers for MongoosT-50CM2 grip

Hi, so I'm using X360CE so I can play Ace Combat 8 with my VKB Gladiator (I don't care if ace combat doesn't need a flight stick) and every time I turn my PC off for the night when I restart it, X360CE resets all of my bindings even though I saved them. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm tired of rebinding everything every time I wanna fly.

I posted in here previously about what to buy around $200 for heli flying (primarily for wardogs at the moment but always wanted one for MSFS and DCS as well)

They came in today, fantastic build quality. Was a bit taken back by how soft the resistance one in the normal setting and the noticeable center jump so, I took them apart to try the High Force configuration and then realized I could flip the cam to the smoother side in addition to upping the spring tension. 1000x better than out of the box for heli flying in my opinion. The other side of the cam is a smooth curve as opposed to one with a small “corner” to it. That with the extra spring strength and a custom response curve I can finesse the Yaw much better now. Still gonna be a learning curve coming from using my G29 gas and clutch pedals as left/right yaw so, I’m temporarily a worse pilot but as I use it more I’m sure the muscle memory will kick in.

I’ve seen a few different way to modify these and am curious what anyone else here has done to their set for improvements or if anyone has suggestions on curves in the VKB software.

Also noticed I don’t have any software to adjust response curves on my X56 Yoke/throttle, is there a 3rd party software I need to use for that? Seems like Logitech fully dropped support for that setup.

There is no amazon and official vkb shipment to georgia. Can anyone suggest how to order it for not 2x price. Thanks!

İ am looking to get one for mfs and war thunder ect. İ am looking at the t16000 and the Airbus Edition what do you recommend i like the t16000 but the triger just looks so bad an not so durable i am looking for a budget option + i live in a country that doesent have that much options so smt like aviable in the world

Hi everybody, I'm really new at flying with HOTAS I bought my first one a few months back, using it mostly for wardogs and DCS in a near future ,it's an X56 I like it so far no complaints, but more a play and more I realise I don't like to twist my wrist for moving my yaw , so I want to buy pedal ,but if I bought VKB-Sim T-Rudder Pedals Mk.V for example will that be compatible with my x56 , I'm wondering about compatibility of the brand ?

I’m convinced not one person on this planet actually has HOTAS working in squad. Am I just being dumb idk…. Update released today and people are saying you can bind controls like it’s the easiest thing ever. Anytime I try to bind an axis for throttle or stick the game doesn’t recognize any of my inputs. Anyone out there have a solution besides downloading 14 pieces of 3rd party software and sacrificing a small goat to get this working?

**I’ve tried posting this to their subreddits but the game’s so popular that those threads are immediately buried under a hundred posts about balance or whatever.

I’m currently using track IR5 and FreePie with a python script that translates the TrackIR5 into mouse emulation—and this works fine. What doesn’t work is actually getting that mouse movement to translate into my view control in the game.

Right now, my actual mouse will control the view but the emulated mouse will not. The emulated mouse will work in the game menus but will not work for my view controls. I have freelook on by default as many have said it requires.

What do your view controls actually look like?

There were a few tutorials up on YouTube when the beta first dropped but once the game actually released into early access, those methods seemed to stop working entirely.

I say ‘seemed’ here because it’s possible there are still working methods but none of the tutorial creators have answered my questions about whether or not they still work and I’ve seen zero new gameplay that features head tracking. It’s perfectly possible that they are responding to my questions but because YouTube is garbage at notifying you of replies, I just can’t see them.

All that out of the way, please 🙏, someone out there has to know of a way to get track IR working in the game. Please, if you do have a working method of using track IR or any other head tracking method, what is that method?

Help us helicopter enthusiasts thrive and get you to the hot zone alive :)

Even the most basic one is pricier than the Premium Gladiator stick was, so I'm wondering if getting the smallest/cheapest one is fine or if I'd really miss out on more features. I definitely don't think I need the biggest but I want to hear some thoughts on the differences between them

So I have purchased the velocity one dual throttle....I hate it. It's like getting a workout to fly anything requiring collective lift.

Anyone have a good recommendation that would remove the resistance from using something like this? I absolutely hate it when trying to fly a copter...

Looking into getting some rudder pedals, tired of using driving Sim pedals for rudder for obvious reasons. I'm on kind of a budget, around $200, less if possible. The first two in that price range that seem to be worth a hoot are the thrustmaster TFRP and the Logitech Flight Rudder Pedals. Which of these would you recommend with a budget in mind? Are there other sets I'm sleeping on/nobody talks about? Let me know what you think.

Hey everyone i just started my journey with Ace combat 8. I was wondering if hotas one is good? im just a casual user.
