I'm broke af, but I have accepted the fact I will be a slave to flight sim peripherals & will buy them with total disregard for the petty things in life like, "food" & "water"

Most food also contains water, that’s a huge saving!

Naudiz•4/2/23, 1:42 AM

Though maybe I should get a proper throttle first before I get into the niche-of-niche-of-niche stick bases

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:43 AM

what you using now? or you mean you have no throttle?

PPiNKSH!T what you using now? or you mean you have no throttle?

Naudiz•4/2/23, 1:44 AM

TWCS sadly, I’ve been holding out for the TECS because I’m a huge fan of the sliding motion instead of the arc the Virpil has

Naudiz•4/2/23, 1:44 AM

I think I may even have talked to you about the TECS before some time last year or even longer ago

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:44 AM

FFB throttle would be nice

AAndyHill FFB throttle would be nice

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:45 AM

omg don't!

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:46 AM

I realised last night flying the F-18 the Auto Throttle Control moves the throttle!

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:46 AM

yes

AAndyHill yes

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:46 AM

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:46 AM

yes

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:46 AM

no it's bad for wallet!

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:46 AM

yes

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:47 AM

must

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:47 AM

it's good for the soul

Naudiz•4/2/23, 1:47 AM

…is there a ffb throttle for sale? RealSim?

AAndyHill it's good for the soul

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:47 AM

can't argue with that sort of reasoning

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:47 AM

can you imagine the wamr and fuzzy feeling

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:47 AM

warm

Naudiz•4/2/23, 1:48 AM

I would love to find some documentation on how much feedback you should expect from the Eurofighters HOTAS

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:49 AM

trouble would be size, you'd need something like the WW super torus

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:50 AM

anyway first I need pedals & a yoke, then I can think about a throttle

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:50 AM

For realistic motion, yes, but not necessarily for ffb in general

AAndyHill For realistic motion, yes, but not necessarily for ffb in general

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 1:51 AM

yeah I suppose those small electric motors can be pretty tuff

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:51 AM

you can still think about the throttle all the time even if you don't yet have all the other stuffs

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:51 AM

there is no upper limit to longing after more new stuffs

AndyHill•4/2/23, 1:52 AM

A fairly small motor might be enough if you have a big gearing ratio, I don't think throttles need to be super fast

PPiNKSH!T yeah I suppose those small electric motors can be pretty tuff

Naudiz•4/2/23, 1:52 AM

For full realism, you should attach the throttle to a jet engine, providing the proper feedback

inpayne•4/2/23, 8:30 AM

I have auto throttles on my jet at my real job. Wouldn’t recommend spending all sorts of money on them. It’s just not that big of a deal.

LeLv30_Superbus•4/2/23, 8:48 AM

I don't think I need auto-throttles either. But after I get my Rhino I want a magnetic switch or four, maybe just replace EAC switch in the WH Throttle. When I get the throttle's PCB back from repair shop, that is.

PiNKSH!TOP•4/2/23, 4:27 PM

I almost forgot about heli collectives with ffb too!

Oh it's too much!

AAndyHill FFB throttle would be nice

JakeSixx33 | 744 |•4/2/23, 7:33 PM

Add on for the Winwing Taurus?

Naudiz•4/3/23, 1:20 AM

Anybody happen to know what the estimated queue time looks like at the minute?

Naudiz•4/3/23, 1:20 AM

… for no reason in particular

Naudiz•4/3/23, 1:42 AM

Ah I found it in the faq, 12+ months

NNaudiz Ah I found it in the faq, 12+ months

worth the wait time 110% Also if you're slightly technically inclined the kits are available to be sent out usually within a few days.
