Just the configurability alone, sure you can tune a virpil/vkb gimbal but you will have to completely disassemble it and rebuild them. With ffb and the rhino in particular all of that and more can be tuned with a few button clicks.

Not to mention just in general as a straight up spring stick it makes my virpil feel like a clunky and grainy toy.

Totally agreed on the experience. Its transformative. I received mine yesterday, connected my winwing f16 stick and launched into dcs after work. Started to fool around with the f4e and four hours later realized i should be in bed

Cant wait to try out the apache tonight. Pairing this with vr (i have a crystal) is an eye watering experience (I started my flight simulator experience with f117a on a 386

). I think the best way to summarize it is that it the feedback makes the plane feel alive. For me, this makes all other joysticks obsolete.

Very cool. We have similar ancient history with flight games. Mine was F15 Strike Eagle II, which I think was about that same time period as "F19"/F117a. Still have the 3 1/2 inch floppy disk. It truly is amazing how far both the sims and hardware have come.

I've enjoyed WarBRD though it's one of the cheapest. It's shaped just like real Huey's and Phantom's grips and that's what I fly now. I've got two fancier, expensive grips too, but this feels better for F-4 and UH-1. Make sure you have enough buttons elsewhere (I do I have pretty much everything mapped in both cockpits)

This is my biggest take away from FFB & the Rhino. FFB effects are cool & immersive but just the configurability alone makes it worth it. I really wish the bigger companies would consider going back.

Reliving my lost childhood, I've tried a few gundam models, and my cat thinks the most awesome thing ever is to chew on plastic, like he will chew on plastic till his gums start bleeding and I still have to fight him for it.

I swear he's tried to run off with an arm or leg more than once,

He is probably the dumbest cat I've ever seen.
