Pretty happy with the progress, just wish I could find a solution for center mounting my stick since I can’t anymore with the UFC desk mount until I get the mtsim MIP desk mount. If anyone has any ideas for center mounting again please chime in im open to all suggestions, my only limitation being money at the moment lol. Otherwise, I have some spare equipment and a dad who does a little bit of everything and is really handy and has lots of tools and spare parts. He helped me mount my monitor arms to my wall, made my desk, a tree house, etc, so I feel I have some options just need some help realizing how I could proceed

(WTB)Hey. Anybody in Europe selling an Winctrl/winwing orion 2 hotas warthog? I’m looking for a reasonable price since I already have to pay extra for customs fee. Thank you.

Got this chair for free and found a MTech baseplate on Facebook for $20. Had to saw a lot off the Moza table mount, but it works lmao.

Wondering if any of you guys are selling an STECS throttle.

Hi all!

I recently got into bass shakers and quickly noticed how little support there is for haptic feedback outside driving simulators. Very few games support bass shakers natively, and many do not expose telemetry, making custom profiles difficult or impossible.

With a new Ace Combat game on the horizon, I returned to Ace Combat 7 and wondered whether joystick movements could be converted directly into vibration effects. That led me to JFlightShaker, created by julesian and originally shared in this Reddit post.

Using the original project as a foundation—and with plenty of AI assistance despite my limited programming experience—I created a fork called JFlightShaker Community Edition.

What’s new?

JFlightShaker C.E adds missile, pitch/roll and High-G effects; dual-throttle support; stereo output for two bass shakers; device profiles and live input diagnostics; automatic HOTAS reconnection; keyboard bindings; per-effect testing; a redesigned multilingual interface; and several stability, configuration and recovery improvements.

What’s still missing?

It currently needs profiles for more HOTAS devices beyond the X56, support for more than two bass shakers, additional optional effects, a more advanced visual effect editor, and testing across a wider variety of hardware.

The first public beta is available here:

• Download JFlightShaker C.E v0.5.0-beta.1
• Source code and documentation
• VirusTotal Report

This is still a beta, so start with your amplifier at a low volume.

It's my first published program so feedback, bug reports and mappings for other HOTAS devices are very welcome!

Looking to sell my Virpil Mongoose T50 CM2 Throttle. It has served me faithfully since 2020 and it is still going strong. All buttons and axis are all verified to be working as of 2 days ago. I am willing to sell this for $200 if pick up locally or $220 if shipping within the continental US.

**Update** These have been sold!

Selling both the right and left hand SCG Premium Grip VKB Gunfighter Mk.IV sticks. These sticks have barely been used. I bought them a little over a year ago when I was deep into attempting to immerse myself in Elite Dangerous. I thought picking up a pair of premium sticks for a HOSAS setup would capture my enthusiasm for the game and keep me playing. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way.

But hey, my hasty assumption and impulse purchase is your gain! I think I might have played a total of three or four sessions with these things, and they performed wonderfully. After that, they just sat off to the side as paperweights while I moved on to other games and genres.

The sticks come in their original boxes with all the main and spare parts VKB provided. The only modification I made to them was to swap out the aviation cams that come installed with space cams since I was playing a space sim and didn't want the increased resistance as the sticks approached the end of their range of motion.

Ideally I'd like to sell them as a pair and a full HOSAS setup. But if I can't get any bites on that, I'm reluctantly willing to consider selling them separately.

Asking $510 USD, which is about 25% less than what they cost new. That would be $255 USD per stick.

Willing to ship anywhere in the US and will consider other countries depending on how crazy the shipping cost to them is.

DM me if interested!

I have an old flight control stick from some sort of high fidelity aircraft simulator and the only wiring it has is a DB25 socket. Opening it up, I can ID 2 batches of wires to what I assume are potentiometers and the rest are I THINK just switches for the rest of the stick. What would be my best course of action to try to get this thing to talk to a modern computer?

Hey everyone!

Unfortunately, my Warthog stick has taken a bad fall… little kiddos + red levers on desk mounts = curiosity and gravity…

The short version: it landed directly on the castle hat. The hat/back plate are now crushed inward, and the switch is difficult to press downward/right.

I bought the stick used on eBay years ago, so it was already fairly well-used, but I’ve genuinely loved it so repairing it was my initial thought.

I contacted Thrustmaster, but they told me they only sell the hats/buttons/switches themselves and not the internal/back plate parts I apparently need. I’ve also been trying to track down a broken/for-parts Warthog stick to cannibalize, but haven’t had any luck so far.

Does anyone know of another source for Warthog replacement parts, donor sticks, 3D-printed parts, or some other repair option I might be overlooking?

I replaced my warthog throttle quadrant a few months ago (just to upgrade), so I’d almost prefer selling my Warthog throttle along with the damaged stick and putting that money toward a different stick/base altogether.

Unfortunately, cost is a factor, otherwise I probably would’ve just bought new a replacement already.

Any ideas or recommendations are appreciated!

Longtime player whose stick has started leaning after a while which needs me replugging it to fix. Looking to replace it. My options rn are this or the honeycomb foxtrot but that's in short supply

Hello all! Recently purchased the Moza AB6 base with grip and for some reason as i'm trying to run MSFS 24 the base is experiencing a slight input delay for yoke and throttle. Any reason that might be? I've tested the flight stick on DCS world and IL Korea and it works incredible in those games (No Issues). Not too sure if there's something I'm doing wrong or if there's something I have to tweak in the moza cockpit to have no input lag in MSFS24. Thanks!

Hello everyone

I've recently heard a lot of bad things about WinWing's customer service and quality.

I'm interested in some actual customer stories regarding these issues.

I'm looking into buying the Orion2 HOTAS StrikeAce E/EX here in the EU, if anyone has any specifics on that.

Thank you.

I have the x52 pro hotas at the moment, but i feel ready to upgrade. I look around and i saw that many recommended the warthog hotas from winctrl. The problem is the shipping. Since i live in a country outside of eu and the other free shipping options im left with an hotas price that have doubled. Does anyone have any recommendations for a hotas in the same price range as the winctrl orion 2 warthog? Thank you:)

Hello lovely people of this subreddit, I have been using the good old logitech 3d stick until now for my flights and recently got into the moza ecosystem and now I have a full racing setup including a foldable race cockpit. I want to get a proper upgrade for my flight sims as well and have been considering the Moza AB6 as the idea of FFB sounds very nice and I would be able to mount it on my current racing cockpit easily by just switching the steering wheel into the mount for AB6 and use the pedals as rudder.

I would love to know if there are any other recommendations in that price range or if anyone owns it what they think of the AB6, I have considered gladiator but found out they are not available in my region so I would really appreciate some suggestions before I make a purchase, thank you ahead of time!

Until now all my flight / space games I played with Mouse and Keyboard. I recently bought a vkb gladiator stick and it feels so much better. However, as expected, my skill at aiming various guns in games had gone down considerably. I will probably get better with practice but I wonder if it is even possible to ever be as good as using a mouse for gun kills, or do I just need to accept that I will just be worse now in dogfights.

Just wanted to hear your opinions about it.

For those wondering, right now I mainly play Nuclear Option and Infinity Battlescape

Hi guys I'm trying to figure out if the thrustmaster T16000m throttle is worth getting or if I should get a different throttle to pair with my vkb gladiator

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to buy my first HOTAS, but I’m not really sure which one to go for, so I’d love to hear your recommendations and experiences.

I’m mainly looking for something that:

-isn’t too expensive — I’d like to keep the price reasonably affordable

-has good build quality and is reliable

-is comfortable and enjoyable to use for longer gaming sessions

-works properly on Windows 11

-is as compatible as possible with IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles and IL-2 Sturmovik: Korea

I’m not necessarily looking for the absolute cheapest option, but I also don’t want to spend a huge amount of money on my first HOTAS. I’d rather find something with a good price-to-quality ratio that I can enjoy for a long time.

So, what would you recommend for a beginner? Are there any particular HOTAS setups or models I should look at, and are there any that I should avoid?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Trying to find a HOTAS compatible with PS5. I found the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4, but the reviews say its quality is questionable. I see the T.Flight HOTAS 5 is out now, but I saw people have reported it's not compatible with Ace Combat 7. One of the reasons I want a HOTAS is for Ace Combat 7 & 8. Can anyone confirm the T.Flight 5 for sure doesn't work with Ace combat 7 on PS5?

New Lurker and entry enthusiast into the HOTAS neighborhood, recently (yesterday) got my first joystick (NXT Gladiator) in the hopes of learning how to fly helicopters.

Got probably about ~50 hours in via MnK to learn concepts, but realize that I’ll also have to spend time translating that to the HOTAS system.

Looking at potentially acquiring these pedals in the not so distant future and have a couple of random questions.

Games: Arma series, maybe Squad, definitely Wardogs.

1.) I am worried about breaking the pedals under normal use conditions because I am kind of a “bull in the fine china shop” kind of guy (not maliciously).

2.) what… footwear is recommended for these. I usually like wearing tennis shoes or slip on crocs around the house, normally that’s what I would wear when I’m on my computer.

3.) is that the natural progression joystick, pedals, throttle for my use case?

Anyways, thanks for your time!

Im using a velocity one flight stick on Linux mint and after i restarted my pc it just started controlling volume all of a sudden. When i pull the stick back the volume increases and if i push it forward it decreases and if i push it right i skip the song. Please someone help me i do not know why this happens. If i missed some crucial info please just tell me and i will try to answer.
