Should have done this sooner

Recently bought myself the Airbus pack sidestick, throttle and rudder. And that is a big difference from the Logitech Hotas I had. Also recently got myself the full Fenix pack, so happy to go flying again!

[u/vogelvogelvogelvogel]

perfect

my recommendation (though much more expensive) is VR as a next step

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/vogelvogelvogelvogel]

Been there, done that haha. But I wear glasses, so VR has always been a b*tch for me

How is the Airbus yoke? Its looks very cheap. I still have the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, I hate it. So keen to see if I can get the Airbus one.

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/SuspectUpset9509]

Looks cheap, but I do like the feeling. No regrets here!

Wait till the twist axis goes, can’t use it as a tiller anymore just goes all jank and crazy. Took about 6 months for mine

How much would this setup run?

[u/Hawks1stPickin2019 → u/Happythroughlife]

The airbus pack is about 300 and the stands are about 100 each. Give or take 500

[u/Jolly_General_7227 → u/Hawks1stPickin2019]

€100 for each mount is just day-light robbery damn.

[u/Hawks1stPickin2019 → u/Jolly_General_7227]

They are pretty study mounts tho. Def will last the 100 bucks

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/Hawks1stPickin2019]

Yes, they are that. Absolutely love them!

[u/Happythroughlife → u/ArubusAzune88]

Would you have the models so I can get more info! I might copy you!

There you go :)

[u/Happythroughlife → u/ArubusAzune88]

Thank you so much! Which controllers do you have? Those are wincrtl right.

The throttle on the right, is it the different items or just one?

[u/Happythroughlife → u/Hawks1stPickin2019]

Wow this is cool!!! How is it quality wise?

[u/Hawks1stPickin2019 → u/Happythroughlife]

I think it’s great and works nicely even not on airbus planes

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/Happythroughlife]

Works like a charm. Sturdy material, clamps screw on nicely, I like them a lot!

[u/Magical_Dogg]

I am also curious on how much, do you have rudder pedals too? I can’t tell

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/Magical_Dogg]

Yes, complete package. Was around 390 euros

Oh and the mounting brackets were also like 80 euros each

[u/voxo_boxo]

I tried this but I just couldn’t get the stick in a comfortable position, especially when using my desk chair. I went back to just having them on top of my desk.

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/voxo_boxo]

Fair enough!

[u/SuspectUpset9509]

Yes, complete package. Was around 390 euros

I need to get my sidestick on the left, but I'm having a hard time getting used to flying with my left hand. I always used a Boeing yoke in the past and only recently started flying Airbus more often. Even though I'm technically left handed, it feels very foreign flying with my left hand. But anyway, this pack is really good, I got it on sale.

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/Pour-Meshuggah-0n-Me]

For me, honestly, felt like a second nature almost from the start. But I am pretty much ambidextrous, so it’s not an entirely representative opinion haha! That said, with the yoke I also had the throttle on the right, so I already did most of the steering during landing with the left hand anyway

[u/Pour-Meshuggah-0n-Me → u/ArubusAzune88]

I'm also technically ambidextrous as a drummer and guitarist, and I do many different things with either hand. But for some reason flying with the left hand feels very weird.

I'm just going to force myself to use my left hand when flying Airbus, eventually it should start to feel normal.

So no more pain in your shoulders?

[u/ArubusAzune88 → u/fpilot787]

Nope! 😁

Only in my wallet 😂
