$390 out the door to my door for the combo HOTAS… 345 out the door to my door for the Skywalker Rudder petals…all 3 in sim app pro-very handy Had mine for three months now, along with the skywalker rudder pedals… seven years with the warthog set up. Hope I can get seven out of these…. The stick cam in spring architecture is superior to the old warthog, what a super beneficial upgrade.
If you don't have it, I highly recommend the Damper kit. You can make a deadstick configuration for helicopters. Or just using the damper a bit so the stick just has a bit of resistance feels great.
Thanks for posting this. I'm in the market for a new HOTAS come the new year, and WinWing is very much on my radar. I'm pretty certain I could find some self-adhesive rubber feet ( or similar ) to replace the suction cups. Very useful video.
They supply about 16 double sided sticky pads these days along with the useless suckers. As long as you don't intend moving your kit these are very strong and it won't move once placed on your desk top (Ask me how I know!). But preferably get a flight rig to mount all your kit on, if you can afford it that is.
Nice vid, got the same setup and tottaly agree with your revieuw. Although it is a pain in tha ass that there is no stock keybiding in MSFS 24. It is a lot of work to bind all the keys manually
I have 3 WinWing Orion 2 Throttles 2 with the F-15EX and F-16EX Grips and third one is a button box for the right hand side of my pit cause i wanted to keep the matching Military look for my controls I also have the Orion 2 Stick Base and F=16EX Grip as well as the Orion 2MFSSB force sensing base for the F-16 and Take off panel 2! Had most of it for over a year and about 600hours of DCS in them and they all work and feel like day 1. I know several guys in the flight school I am part of that have had WinWing kit for 4 years and never had an issue. The It's a Chinese product so must be cheap parts and build quality argument just doesn't come into play here. The Quality is as good as any out there! But the price is much easier on the wallet! Compared to Virpil and Thrustmaster! I am now using my F-16EX grip on my new VPForce Rhino FFB stick base and it works on that with no issues. Yes the suction cups "SUCK" lol totally useless! But they do tend to supply double sided sticky pads as well and they are top notch as long as you get your desk placement correct and don't need to keep moving it! One down side is if you do get a failure on your product and that happens to all manufacturers Virpil, VKB and Thrustmaster! If you need to return for a replacement it's a nightmare. But they will try everything they can to try and fix your issue in your home before return is necessary!
My only complaint involves the bottom of the F-18 stick itself. It needs to have the four ribs like the F-16 stick has in order to keep it from rotating. Why they have it on the F-16 stick and not the F-18 stick is beyond me. My F-16 stick is rock solid and does not rotate no matter what. My F-18 stick, which is center mounted, will twist no matter how snug I tighten it down. I have pretty much everything that Winwing makes for a combat cockpit and that is the only complaint I have. Everything else is amazing.

VIRPIL is still the Apex of high-end controller.

Hmmm, that throttle loks like copy of warthog.
just to clarify was this equipment provided to you by the manufacturer ? I think your turntable needs some oil !
It looks great but I don't like using rudder pedals.
