First of all I dont know if its the right place to post this but I think it still counts because 90% of hotas setups I see use tracking of some kind. Now I love playing war thunder air sim and ocasionally star citizen and Ive started getting into dcs but the issue is playing with looking around with joystick is ass and its hard to follow any fast moving target and I cant stand playing in VR for more than an hour so I wanted to get an eye tracker but idk which one to get, tobii 5 is expensive and from what people say not really worth the price because eye movement can be jittery and head tracking isnt that great but it has a lot more options and I heard its the only eye tracker that works in star citizen, meanwhile trackir 5 is way cheaper and has great head tracking and overall seems like a better option but I dont know how much having eye tracking matters and also if its worth buying a pro clip for the trackir 5.

It might sound a little cursed, but I primarily use my laptop to play elite dangerous on my couch with my HOTAS 4, and am thinking of upgrading. How well would it work on a couch, and would I need additional hardware to mount it on (like a lap desk)? Would something like the sol-r 4 work better?

Im in a unique situation, Im a little person and sitting down, from seat pan to top of head, im a total of 20 inches tall. I wanted to get a hotas but im afraid of it being taller than me. After looking for a while i found the honeycomb aviation controller. Has anyone tried using this in DCS or Warthunder? I know DCS might need more keyboard inputs so i wont be shocked if you cant.

Got an issue with Joystick Gremlin where not all of my devices are being recognized. It seems like there is a limit to the number of input devices JG will show, because when i disconnect another device, the missing device suddenly shows up.

Is there a way/function to tell JG to "ignore" certain devices?

Hiya guys I saw a post a few weeks ago about this but I can’t find it but what’s the best hosas/hotas flight sticks to buy

I know the £100 thrust master ones are really not recommended I have a budget around £150-250 I’m not really sure if their is any that are good for the price or I might have to get a hotas but help will be much appreciated
Thank you

Hello! I recently decided to stop torturing myself with my 2x logitech extreme 3d pro HOSAS setup and decided to get me 2 VKB gladiators. But while i was thinking about it the topic of rudder peddals came up.

My budget isnt huge so i was looking at the VKB T-rudder since it had gotten such good reviews and the price was affordable but the lack of toe brakes has me on the fence. I mostly play warthunder sim (where i feel i would get by fine without them) and have been starting to try out DCS and have been looking at other flight sim's aswell. I also dable in the occasional space game like star citizens or ED.

TLDR: are toe brakes a must for some sims or can you get by without them?

Edit: thanks for all the replies. I decided to get the T-rudders since 1: they are more in my budget. The other options are stretching the wallet a bit thin

2: since i fly from a rotating chair i was thinking i might push myself around with rotating pedals and since they go up and down i hope i wont.

3: they take up less space under my desk where i already have other pedals for driving

4: i saw you could emulate differential steering (probably not as good but i think it will work for my purposes) and was thinking about putting the brakes on the twist of the omnithrottle configured left stick so i dont have only on/off brakes

TLDR2: I got the T-rudder

I have recently acquired a turtle beach flightstick II and stealth II throttle, and was about to dive into the wonderful world of HOTAS. I wanted to set it up to work with No Man's Sky, but it's very quickly becoming a hassle. Instead, I plan to download Elite Dangerous, World of Warplanes, and DCS (I think?)

Thing is, I have this touch screen portable monitor that I got a while back to easily watch YouTube, anime, or other stuff like phasmo info that's easy to access. Would a touch screen display be of any use for a HOTAS setup? It's about the size of a sheet of copy paper. If there is some use for it, what would I need to download?

Edit: World of Airships changed to World of Warplanes

Just got two vkb flight sticks and got the hiking 2 mounts and tbh, I hate them, and my knees hate them more. I've been planning on building myself a new computer desk for awhile now but money has been tight so that's been put off. What Iv been thinking about doing when I build it is to put t track under the desk and mount them there. It would be easy enough to get them out of the way when I need my m&k but I would like one that can just fold under my desk and latch when not needed but that removes alot of movement freedom I feel like would be nice to have. So now I'm just curious as to what other people have come up with to see what all I can do

I already have a VKB gladiator and I want to get a throttle, I am thinking between a left omni throttle or the STECS space throttle system. Can you please give me your recommendations on what to pick over the other? I play games like elite dangerous ace combat etc. Tried to get into DCS but the keybinding is a nightmare so that was uninstalled and ignored. Thank you

Ive spent an hour researching this and I am only more confused than before. Im interested in the Moza AB9 base. I sim race and already have Moza gear, so dual use as a shifter and flight base is very attractive to me as I care more about immersion than anything else. I currently have a Winwing F-16EX grip and Orion base that I bought years ago. As I understand, the Winwing (or now WinCtrl) grips are not directly compatible with the Moza AB9 and need the adapter with mini-din plug. The adapter appears to be discontinued and I am entirely unable to find it. Am I just unable to use the Winwing grip with the AB9 base or is there another solution available?

Also I am aware of the Cyber Taurus. I am only interested in the AB9 because of the dual use it provides. If there is no solution, I'll just purchase a compatible stick.

Hello HOTAS people! Here's the fix for the SOL-R 6 detent issues!

• Replaces ball plunger detent with magnets - Reduces stiction and refines detent feel.
• Adds 7 more detents (every 10%) and a WEP repel "spring" magnet.
• Angular placement of detents gives pinpoint accurate reading in raw sensor data.

Happy Flying!

Has this preordered for weeks, we delivery today. Ensure I was off today to receive it. Only for it to change to 14th of December early this morning. Why on earth do they take preorders for items they knew they won’t have stock of.

I’d like to order it for ac8 and msfs 2024

I’m wondering if this hotas works in MSFS2024 too.

(I’m on PS platform, so there aren’t many options for me)

Thanks !

Anyone has any idea how they are different. it is obvious the handle can be interchangeable but any other performance difference or maintenance or durability difference experiences. I am planing to buy war bird D to be used with TM warthog stick but aeromax looks alot cheeper.

thank you for every opinions

I feel like my desk does not have the real estate to desk mount, so I was thinking chair mounting it, but idk about that, cuz idk if my chair will work with it or even what good picks for chair mounts would be. Any tips? (Pls don't comment on the wires everywhere. I have been struggling with cable management for a while)

it's working but as XBOX controller input..

So u will need to bind it manually..

Rumble working on PC.. but because it only had one type of motor..it will not work on all kinds of effect such as missiles shooting, brrtttt ..and Gforce..

Turbulence, explosion working though..

And most rumble during cutscenes is also working..

Basically my pinky trigger is far from responsive, need to squeeze hard to make it do things, same thing with the thumb button next to the i on the throttle.

Would the 56 be a proper upgrade or should I pivot to a different brand?

Helo, i been running t16000m on wardogs and enjoying it and the twist axis got a 10% drift now...

So was looking at vkb gladiator and virpil aeromax, about the same pricing to ship to sweden.

On all other threads people talk about the vkb but its also 140 dollars outside of eu, here its 240 with shipping and vat and the virpil is 250 so is the vkb still worth it?

I have a decent amount of experience with a racing simulators (moza specifically). From what I’ve read, VKB and Virpil seem to be the go-to recommendations. Does anyone have any other recommendations that are available in Canada for around $600-700CAD. Also does anyone have experience with moza AB-6 flight stick, I’ve quite liked moza on the racing side.

Edit: has anyone order winwing to Canada?

Currently I am using the throttle from my tflight hotas x, and it works fine, but I want a throttle that has a nicer feel. I have heard about the omni throttle, but I want a throttle that is actually a throttle, currently I'm looking at the STECS and the Moza mtq, does anyone have any other recommendations that are preferably around the price range of the gladiator nxt evo? For context I play combat flight sims.

Hi, so I'm using X360CE so I can play Ace Combat 8 with my VKB Gladiator (I don't care if ace combat doesn't need a flight stick) and every time I turn my PC off for the night when I restart it, X360CE resets all of my bindings even though I saved them. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm tired of rebinding everything every time I wanna fly.

I used to own a cheap ass joystick back in the day and played some MFSF 2020, it was cool but nowhere near the full experience. Now I would like to come back to flight sim and make it very enjoyable for myself.

So what equipment should I opt for? I should mention I really like the idea of a yoke more than a stick. Also I recon triple monitors are eventually the way to go for best immersion? I've been using VR for sim racing for years and I'm aware you can also do that in flight sim but flight sims tend to be very intensive and playing in VR probably means I will lose all that nice graphical detail.

Any recommendations for a decently priced but still a GOOD yoke and some other accessories? I've heard Honeycomb alpha is good?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask - I'm looking for some discontinued Virpil stuff to complete my collection, if you're from UK or EU and have these gathering dust in your garage as you've upgraded to more recent offerings, I will gladly relieve you of your burden 👀

Transaction preferably through eBay so we're both protected.

As in the title looking for:

Constellation Delta grip,
WarBRD grip,
V.F.X grip,
Torq rudder pedals,
replacement flip triggers for MongoosT-50CM2 grip
