    How did you get off the grippy stuff? Mine didn't become stick through use, but instead in storage. (Apparently this rubber crap can deteriorate over long years despite not being used and then "rub off" on whoever wants to use it, which is somewhat gross. I'd gladly have my throttle and stick all shiny without buying new hardware just because a worthless rubber surface turned ugly. ^^

    Great review! I am currently using X56 and I have a problem with stick to base connection so the buttons just stop working every now and then. That really sucks the fun out of playing when you have to reattach the stick to base mid-flight. I have a video suggestion for you: list of controllers in different price points that you'd recommend? For example: 1) Beginner - for someone who is interested in trying flight sims but not willing to spend more than $200 2) Someone who uses X56 and is looking to upgrade to something actually functional $350 3) ~ $500 hotas 4) best the money can buy I would be super happy with just a written response though!

    • @FalconsLedge
      @FalconsLedge 7 дней назад

      @@rumalus for your post here specifically, for beginners I've been recommending the Winwing Ursa minor, is a huge value for the buck. For someone looking to upgrade from the x56 id suggest a tad more than 350, spend 420 and go for Winwing Orion 2 If you are limited to 350 specifically and no more I think I'd go for Ursa Minor for primary hand, Ursa Minor omni for off hand, another great option for that price would be Gladiator NXT and TM TWCS. If we are including shipping the top end products outside of Winwing are tough to get a full hotas under $500. VKB offers one, the NXT and STECS, it's a good setup, but for 500 of my dollars, I'd want metal internals, which unfortunately the VKB solution I mentioned just doesn't offer. And that's not a knock on VKB, their hardware is really good. Best of the best, well that becomes very subjective. If really depends on what you do. In the top end the Winwing Orion 2 falls a tad behind in features and finish internally. The VKB gunfighter 4 is a great solution when paired with the MCGU grip. The sad part is that there isn't a left hand version, and there is not a metal equivalent throttle offered yet from VKB. They say there is I've coming, so that will help their top end offerings. For Virpil, the warBRD is I'd say if fairly similar to the gunfighter, certainly in specs and features. The gunfighter handles extensions better. The Virpil T50CM3 gimbal is the best spring/cam gimbal on the market. The downside with Virpil is that the Constellation grips have some issues in my opinion, so much so that I won't use them. Now, they do offer the new FLNKR grip, but I haven't used it yet, but I am interested. They also have the new aero grips which appear to have addressed some of my issues with the Constellation. So I'm eager to try them out. There are other options for grips like Thrustmaster, Tianhang, realism, etc. so that's the route in took. Furthermore, what you select really depends on what you do. If you fly helos definitely go for the T50CM3 if you are going spring/cam. Best dead stick experience I've had. But then you get into the force feedback options, and force sensing options. Software is a big deal in FFB, right now id say VPFORCE has an advantage here. FFBeast and Brunner are VERY expensive. Moza has decent hardware from what I can see, but their software is a bit behind. They are closing the gap so we will see how that goes. We also have Winwing coming out with a FFB very soon, Virpil and VKB sometime in the future. Force sensing I recommend if you fly majority F16, otherwise stick with the spring/cam or FFB. Tianhang is a great bang for your buck option here, things like realsim is an option if you want to spend a fortune. WW offers a Force sensing unit, it's ok, but I recommend if it you want to go force sensing, best to just go with a Force sensing base from the beginning.

    Ok so I need to ask because I tried looking into it and I have no idea why mine didn't come with any tool to handle this. What do I use or get to just remove the springs or if I ever have to replace them? I'm very confused with that and I don't want to break it just trying to remove like 1 spring to convert the left stick to a sort of throttle? And I can't seem to find anything that would show or explain how you do that with the Ursa Minor?

Star Citizen I want it on, then DCS I want it off. Is there a possible way to just code it or use some sort of driver (which I can't also seem to find one that made just for it) to make the left axis up and down be as a relative control so it like the throttle would go up more from it position more you push up and then when it centers, it stops moving the throttle?

Why? Because combat sims aren't mice, or audio devices, by comparison it's super niche, and so Logitech doesn't give a crap about combat sims. It's a dead ecosystem.

    I came across this video. Thanks for an honest review. However, despite all the problems you said about it. It is around price range I rather spend for a Hotas and I wanted buttons. I do not want to have to spend $500+ to $1k just to have the amount of buttons of the x56 Rhino XD I actually been using it for a long while like a year or 2. 580 hours in DCS so yes perhaps I'm just not caring about the poor quality of it but it certainly did what I wanted and I'm thankful how well it worked for just what I wanted. Good points you made and perhaps something to consider putting a much bigger budget or if anything comes out better but it just for fun and not planning to buy every HOTAS on market just to find the best one for me when the x56 is worth it for me.

Looking into that one seems like it very well and got close to what I want or which one would have more possible Hats and little joy sticks that x56 I liked having? Just taking another look into other good options before I settle with x56 as this one apparently has few sticky or not good Hat and buttons. (weirdly my first one worked great on the buttons)

    Just bought one for 140 bucks, upgrading from a keyboard and a PS2 controller strapped to my chair with a cord and a tablet with Touch Portal which I have to see through an oculus quest 1. I've seen a comparison between this and the X52 and I liked this more, can't afford anything else for hobbies unfortunately, even if they get my brain trained like DCS. If I won't have fun with DCS offline (not gonna go online) I'll come back, else whoever you are and you care and I still didn't edit this, lmk. Edit: So the stick is, indeed, not very ergonomic, but all the buttons are there and it's only a matter of time until you get to know how to use them the best. The overall materials of the stick are fine for the most part and I don't see problems with the spring if not the stick not "centering"/"zero-ing" but nothing I would worry about since you can set deadzones, it's very accurate and the stiffest spring is also very stiff and I will probably change it later. About the throttle I've had a chance to open it and the construction is very very cheap on the inside and is very easy to break the side knob which sets the throttle stiffness, however is as easy to break as easy to fix but still... don't tight it too much to save the hassle of unscrewing 10+ screws on the base later on. I really like the plastic and the switches are so satisfying to use, it's full of buttons and looks like they keep spawning the more you look at it; you may get overwhelmed but for the most part you get a lot of buttons for binding everything you need. It's an HOTAS I've bought second-hand, it was around 130$ and for that price and maybe 40-50$ more I wouldn't put all the hate the video's publisher has indeed put, I'm having much fun and I like the style, looks and feeling. I'd say instead it's worth it, but if you find other options that you like more or better deals well... make your choice!
