Lots of bells and whistles! Going to be a few days figuring out how to make it all work! But it is sweet!
And works well, if just off line so far,,!
-
Whiskey its a good stick but very light on construction... be very careful as I broke mine and they don't offer replacement for it.
-
So, what's the verdict, WWiskey? How do you like it?
Can you set all functions within AH?
-
you should be ashamed for having all those buttons and switches!! LOL

I really like it,, very good control, lots of switches so yes, I think you can get everything in it!
The throttle is a little stiffer than I wanted, so out came the Velcro but the stick itself is plenty heavy and stays put just fine! And I've got it tuned as I did with my x-52 pro yet seem to have more Usable control but it's still early!
-
whisky the throttle has a knob that makes it easier to move back and forth look towards the left of the throttle and adjust.

What I meant was if your can set the functions of each button/switch/control from within AH, or do you need to use some intermediate software that comes with the set. Sorry, I wasn't very clear about that. Thanks for the review!
-
Guncrasher I've spun that wheel both ways as far as it will go!
Rolex, it maps from AH map controls part of the clipboard just like all the others, hope that's what your asking!
I didn't download any extra software for it, I did look for an AH profile but found none, I bet some other players here who use it could put one together tho!
-
Yes, that's the answer I was looking for. Thanks!
-

Switches at the base aside, the buttons on throttle and stick are necessary if you want to implement all the functions of a F-16. The Hotas Warthog, for example, is perfect for the A-10, but doesn't have a rotary for antenna elevation. "as many buttons as the real thing" sounds good, but ideally you want more buttons and levers! If I'm not mistaken, this joystick is the best in the market in that regard. Can "implement" any 4th gen. fighter.
... so that's what I would do if I were the OP, fly DCS A-10 and Falcon BMS to break in the buttons a little :)

Don't worry I managed to obtain number 1 fighter position one tour with only a Microsoft Precision Pro twisty stick. It's about skill and grind, not the gear. Of course good gear helps.

thanks sir! It is lots of fun to fly with all the bells and whistles ,, but as MrRipley points out,, the skills aren't in the tools but in the operator, and I get beaten regulary by guys with nothing hardly at all
-

I would get trackir instead of a fancy stick right away.
That has helped me the most.
Whiskey how did you mount your stuff? I got the warthog

The stick isn't mounted, it's heavy enough to sit without,, the throttle is mounted with Velcro ,, my peddles are mounted to a wooden board.

interesting, after watching a few utube videos i can see where trackir could save me a few times if it is supported by the next AH3. until that is released i have to hold back to see if i need other upgrades. currently running 2 gigs video ram hoping this will be enough along with 16 gigs memory and 2 core 2.8 processor. i prefer to have the ability to use all the bells and whistles when the new version comes out without any issues or drop in fps . as of now i hold firm 60 fps

Glad you liked it,, I've been using mine with Track IR and it's great! But I need to get back to playing soon, I've been messing with my other toy for a while now, here's a video from this last weekend.
