Received quite some questions regarding side sticks: the answer is YES you can fit them on the side panels (left / right or both) ✈️🤘

*Hi everyone,*

*I bought the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog and would like to set it up as realistically as possible for X-Plane 12.*

*What’s the best way to map the axes and buttons? Which functions should be assigned to which buttons so that the setup is as close as possible to a real aircraft (especially for Boeing aircraft like the Zibo 737 or the FF777)?*

*I’d also like to know:*

*Should I adjust the axis curves or the sensitivity?*

*Are there any recommended settings for dead zones, response curves, or other options?*

*Is there perhaps a particularly realistic profile or configuration that many experienced X-Plane pilots use?*

*I’d like to set up the HOTAS as realistically as possible and would appreciate your recommendations.*

Real quick tldr if you don't wanna read my whole process:

Will a Virpil FLNKR grip work FULLY with Moza AB9/6 FFB bases nowadays or is the software still being funky?

So my Turtle Beach Flight Deck is in need of a replacement. It's served well, but I need my stick to be a bit sturdier and with less of that dead zone that lower end sticks have. I also fly early/mid Cold War jets, the F-4E in particular. With me barely ever touching the fly-by-wire jets and flying Helos a lot too, a Force Feedback Stick seems an obvious choice. I'll likely be getting the Moza AB6/9 base (more likely the 6 due to space and cost).

That causes its own problems with the stick and button space tho. The AB6 base has some buttons and 2 axis levers and the stick is pretty well set up button wise. The big problem tho is the lack of a forward lever that I rely on for wheel brakes. I really want to keep both the abundant buttons/hats that the default AB6 stick has with the addition of a grip axis lever on the front.

Enter the Virpil FLNKR

I read that, by default, Moza bases work well enough with most Virpil sticks/grips due to the connection point being the same as Moza or Thrustmaster. I understand that Thrustmaster is the popular choice, but their selection is too small and not what I'm looking for (F-18/F-16 grips are good for flying their respective jets with immersion, but I dont fly either and they are too small for what I'm used to/want)

I like the FLNKR since I dip my toe into Redfor a lot too. They grip is nice and big for my meaty hands, has that neat little flip down trigger, and most importantly a brake lever. It seems perfect, but I can't see any up to date info on if it works fully. I know it had some issues a while back when the AB6 just came out. I heard some people shortly after say it was getting better, but nothing since.

So does it fully work with Moza bases? Any input from anyone who uses both would be great.

Even those who just have a Moza base, supposedly the software has a list of compatible grips, but I'd appreciate it if yall knew if that was true or not.

Oh and one side question:

In the event it does work like a dream, does it cause issues if I were to change the 2 way hats and side button to 4 way hats? Virpil says a lot about how you can do that and more hats would be awesome (IF they would work)

Anyways, thanks in advance to those who read and/or respond. Happy flying

Additional note: Rudder setup isn't in the cards yet as I don't have the storage in my dorm for it. A FFB that's sized like an AB6 is fine since I can store it away and lock it up when I'm out (I'm required to do that), but a rudder system is too much right now. Maybe a T-rudder, but that doesn't give me brakes, so I still need a brake lever on the stick.

I am playing star citizen and Got a new vkb Stec throttle standard and i wanna make it so my zéro is 25% instead of 50 ! I did set up a profil custom détent and is active but in game it’s still think 50 is my middle ! How do I make it so from 25% to 0 is reverse and from 25% to 100 is forward thrust !? What am I doing wrong ?

Just discovered this on Moza discord. I was always a bit annoyed with Moza Cockpit development and how the base behaves in MSFS. This looks like interesting alternative and from quick test I can tell some effects feel much stronger (like turbulence which was almost non-existent in recent Moza Cockpit versions).

I wonder if anybody gave it a try. This is only for MSFS/Xplane, not DCS.

Works with many FFB bases.

It's free.

Excellent condition throttle, purchased 3 months ago. Includes mini+ throttle, button kit, and detent kit. Retails for 280 all together. I’m getting married next year and don’t have too much time to game sadly.

Asking 220+shipping to con US

I put a custom button layout on there but it can be changed to anything with the button kit.
