Even the super taurus is miles ahead of the TMWH throttle, just good luck getting one these days lol. I'm excited to see what the hyper taurus can do/looks like, but WW software has always sucked ass, so any FFB functionality might be... not great

Im intrigued in a throttle based vpforce

Fierce_Fire•5/12/24, 6:53 PM

With the detent system we have now i wonder if itd work okay

Bob Bushman•5/12/24, 6:53 PM

My throttle works, but last i checked never showed up in the software as its on a hub.

So to do anything with it configuration wise I would have to move it over to the actually computer.

Thats on the other side of a wall and its fully bolted down on my 150lbs pit.

I have a TM F-16 (UK Edition, not even sure what that means) coming to replace the TM F-18 grip I have now. I just figured the F-16 grip is more versatile and should work better for A-10 and F-4E even though I like the F-18 one for the F-15E module.

Super Taurus, in my opinion, mechanically is the best throttle out there.

I love my Super Taurus

Chuff•5/12/24, 11:52 PM

the startup panel is kind of useless because they were so specific with it, so even if you're using it for the hornet there are really only maybe half a dozen switches that will get any real use, and there are no extra buttons on it at all, so most of the switches on the panel are just unused for me. The throttle itself is excellent, though.

PPiola I know but I don’t like that plastic

Icebeat•5/13/24, 12:34 AM

in my case the problem are the buttons

Piola•5/13/24, 4:52 AM

You’re right

the X Y axis are potentiometers or hall effect?

Can I use hall sensors instead pots? Have pedals on my t-rudder it would be nice if they would work with your board

walmis•5/14/24, 9:29 AM

Yes - the voltage range is 0-3.3V

mark3r#17•5/14/24, 9:38 AM

then its ok, now brakes works with arduino, so i will use them on vpforce

FFierce_Fire With the detent system we have now i wonder if itd work okay

Spelljammer1•5/14/24, 12:52 PM

We have a detent system now? Did I miss a firmware update?

Spelljammer1•5/14/24, 12:53 PM

@AndyHill @TorTorden here's a compilation of grip weights for reference:

MCGP 331g,

WW18 428g

Alpha 509g,

MCGU 594g,

Alpha Prime 606g,

WW16EX 613~629g

Warthog 1023g

Spelljammer1•5/14/24, 12:54 PM

Personally, I went with as much weight reduction as possible, which was the RealSim grip because it also saved me the weight and length of the WW adapter + the angle adapter for the F16 grip.

Spelljammer1•5/14/24, 12:55 PM

But this is for a side-stick optimised configuration

Bob Bushman•5/14/24, 1:11 PM

Aye the RS grips sounds sweet, still €500 for juat the home version.

Kinda of funny its the lightest as its also built to handle significant force for the force sensing bases.
Virpil and tm grips have been known to snap off those after some use.

MichalK•5/14/24, 1:25 PM

There's also Tianhang, 350g

MashedPotatoOP•5/14/24, 1:25 PM

I've never seen a report of a Virpil snapping on those (they aren't even officially supported in the firmware), but the TM part that snaps isn't the grip, it's the potmetal neck of the connector

SSpelljammer1 We have a detent system now? Did I miss a firmware update? 😮

Fierce_Fire•5/14/24, 1:58 PM

Its supposed to be a sysyem for ffb shifters

Fierce_Fire•5/14/24, 1:58 PM

But if we can modify the profile, it shouldnt be too hard to make it capable of liftable detents

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/14/24, 2:11 PM

I didn't know the MCGP was so light compared to others

Red Magic•5/14/24, 2:17 PM

Any update on the FFB rudder kit?

FFierce_Fire Its supposed to be a sysyem for ffb shifters

Spelljammer1•5/14/24, 2:37 PM

ah so that's not out yet. I missunderstood the tenses.

JJon (Bounty_V)I didn't know the MCGP was so light compared to others

Spelljammer1•5/14/24, 2:37 PM

yeah it really is. unfortunately that also translates as a feeling of rather hollow plastic, compared to any other choice in the top range.

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/14/24, 2:40 PM

I've not used anything else so far

AndyHill•5/14/24, 2:51 PM

plastic is fine really, I just really don't like the feel of the VKB plastics (only tried their basic stick though, can't remember the name)

AndyHill•5/14/24, 2:51 PM

Virpil plastic (mongoos cm2) had a nicer feel to it, but I didn't like its buttons

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/14/24, 2:54 PM

I upgraded from Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 to VKB MCGP to Rhino with VKB adapter

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/14/24, 2:55 PM

I have had hands on an MCGU MK IV tho, and granted I didn't get any proper use on it, felt like it wasn't much different than MCGP. Main difference being the buttons themselves

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/14/24, 2:56 PM

Though to be fair the room it was in was rather warm, so I couldn't really tell that it was metal

AndyHill•5/14/24, 2:58 PM

it's not true metal if you don't instantly hear manowar or rammstein when you touch the grip

Jon (Bounty_V)•5/14/24, 2:59 PM

Gave me more Sabaton vibes, maybe that was the problem
