She doesn't read the forum....the giant cockpit in my office tends to cut down on other....*ahem*... activities.

Make it a side by side twin and activities may intersect.

(I've been trying to sell that for 3 years now.)

He just sells the pedals.

If you are interested in something upscale in sticks, say even more upscale than a Warthog....check them Russikes out...

Bummer about the pedals not fitting. Did you get the new stick yet, and how much extra was the import cost?

Sure thing.  I'll compare / contrast it with several other sticks I've owned or own now (G940, Cougar, Warthog, X52).

Title: Re: I. Must. Waste. My. Money. Now.
Post by: Fulcrum on December 01, 2013, 12:35:34 PM
I did.  Even tho' I've decided to give up AH for a while I'll write a review on this thread in the coming weeks. I'm waiting on the release of the Warthog adapter and heavier springs for a complete review.

Stick has been great so far for me but I had problems using it in AH...after years of using the Warthog I had a difficult time using a stick with such light tension.  Strangely this has not been an issue playing other games online like Rise of Flight (which i have turned to recently for online flying fun).

If anyone gets these, I'd be interested in how they compare with CH pedals (which I have).  

The latter have a very annoying feel across the center position, which seriously impacts controllability (at least mine do).  This has nothing to do with pots versus alternatives, but is a mechanical (detent?) issue, which from a system perspective occurs prior to the mechanical-to-electrical tranducers (be they pots or whatever else).

in CH peds in not so much as a detent as a point where both return springs are not under tension..the fix....remove the springs.

Post by: LCADolby on December 17, 2013, 06:29:37 AM
TD, I think it's an indent in the runner to allow you to know that you are centred. I find it helpful, but my limbs often get lost in combat  :uhoh

have not removed springs because you would have no 'center' then and would have to keep feet
on the pds the whole time flying just to keep the auto pilot from coming off.
