Love your comments on the rudder pedals, I remember my first time in a real airplane trying to taxi to the active, I was trying to steer with my yoke and almost wound up in the grass. My instructor laughed and said it happens to everyone. Once you get use to the rudders, you won't even think about using them.

Thank you so much for this. I love the stick but after a year a few years ago I had this problem. I have no experience fixing fiddly internal electronics and didn't think there was a fix, and wanting to experiment with HOSAS for Star Citizen I bought the two-joystick bundle and that way I would have two joystick as back-ups in case the same problem happened. The 2nd broke a few days ago in the same way, I switched to my third thinking I do not want to buy any more of these. I went looking and found your video, gathered my courage and fixed both the old joysticks and it worked really well. Thanks for doing this fix and I appreciate the thing you said at the beginning, the part about you not being an electronics expert...being the same way it made this a little less intimidating to attempt.

I legit was looking for a video like this from you yesterday but didn't find it and now here you go, I guess I am blessed.

Hi drewski, interesting thing about angled flight sticks in military planes: they are usually angled a bit to the left so that pilot don’t bend their wrists. By twisting the stick slightly left, it forces pilots to have like a bear claw grip, and that better for when your pulling G’s (cause you don’t bend your wrist)

@jmstallard

The sticks that are angled to the left are center mounted, correct? That's so their hand stays in a more comfortable position relative to their forearm angle, which will also be to the left.

This is some really cool stuff, been wanting to go back into flight sims again, was waiting for an awesome SIM (I used to play DID - F2000 and at that points was reading books about aeroplane tactics and such just to get better). Somewhere in the attic, I have my old Thrustmaster set up. The things about the buttons brings back memories about have a button on my throttle that switched all buttons either in taking off & landing mode, fly mode and battle mode. The fact of using flaps to just park behind my friends and fly on their ass. I just went to the website and it is a pity that they don't sell the full package they sold you. You actually have to understand the product before you can order it :))). Awesome video... I might pick up flight sims again!

I wanna say thank you drewski and Dam you at the same time!!! I saw your video about the virpil setup and decided to pull the trigger and upgrade from the X-56 and its night and day difference. I would say that its the best HOTAS that i have ever had and would say its the best you can get. I ordered the mongoose 3 along with the VPC Constellation ALPHA Prime and it is amazing. Worth every cent. Im a DCS guy i fly the 18 and the tomcat and i can tell a massive difference between flying with the X-56 compared to the virpil.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! I've been looking on Amazon for weeks to find a new throttle! I am ordering this throttle today!! :D

Rudder pedals are great. I've used them with the X52 in the past. I used them to yaw of course in Elite Dangerous. Makes much more sense than turning the joystick roll into a yaw. I actually wound up setting the joystick twist to be the vertical thrust axis so I could more easily land gently. Still had problems though as its such a limited range especially when you include enough deadzone to keep from drifting.

Just saw this after seeing a first DCS piece. I have been playing flight sims since they were monochrome until 2010. Never got past the saitek. I had the first track IR and before made a tracker myself. I don't have time to sim now, but otherwise I would have instantly bought the gear you have. Many thanks

"Stuff like this never used to work." Pros of having million subs

I like that Garand thumb “if you ever”

Virpil products eh? Thanks for the good find! Definitely high quality stuff. Glad they sent you the stuff for review!

That intro was AWESOME!! Love the Garandthumb mention.

I recently got the full Virpil setup. It's pretty expensive when you get a full setup, but man is it good. The Constellation sticks have even more buttons, they have both a left and right for space sim games, and another xbox stick on it. Also, not sure if that stick has twist, but there is a screw you can tighten to lock it from twisting (assuming you would be using the pedals if you decide to do this).

that little joystick on the throttle looks like it'd be great for SC and ED for maneuvering thrusters. I've been thinking about picking up a set of control like this for that.

Loved the opening so much

You are one of the people who has made me go into dcs thank you

An excellent video, thanks. With the TrackIR, I use the basic metal clip which is simple and sturdy. My room has a large window with no curtain and I only have problems on very sunny days. It also doesn’t have a wire to bother about. BTW the friction on the Mongoose throttles is easy to adjust, if you take the base plate off there is a nut for each one,

Drewski needs to have someone send him a bigger desk to review.

The Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS is superb as well! Great review by the way! 😁👍

Looks like it’s time to reach out to a desk company to enquire about a new desk

This is basically war without fear.

I have had the x52 pros for about 10 years now. Still works. Had to take it apart once for a minor repair. But they still work. Very reliable. This setup however, looks amazing!

Perfect clip to have in the background showing off the setup! “Because I was inverted”

*GarandThumb stares suspiciously* "Calm down Flannel Daddy, he's a fan." ;-) *Drops Hailey reference... * (MOOD INTENSIFIES)

Alot of points are also valid when doing this sort of thing with a wheel, and a racing sim. More control over the range motion is just good.

Just watch this and subbed, ordering myself this kit right now from them.

I've watched donut for a bit, I've watched your vids before and I like them. The garand thumb intro sold me on the sub, on behalf of donut. I love you.

I own first iteration of Virpil Mongoose and first version of t 50 throttle (the one with detents, and honestly that version looks even better, kinda shame virpil doesn't make them anymore). Everything Drewski said is true. But im gonna add couple of things. You can customize the feeling of many components, with the base you also get springs and cams, cams are the reason whole thing feels very smooth and precise, ball bearings are rolling on those cams and are "tensioned" by different springs, the profile of those cams can give you different feel to stick movement, you want your stick to have very firm "midline" split? No problem, or you want to not feel when you transition from right to left and not increase tension from bigger angle? there is space sim cam for that. So you can customize even the feeling of your stick to what you want, and Virpil will not void your warranty, they actively encourage changing those components. Another thing is software, at first is very daunting and complex but you can do so much with it, in 15:04 you can disable mode switching and make this knob behave like 5 different buttons, so I binded flaps positions to it. What even more crazy is that software will detect anything you attach to pcb inside throttle.... im not kidding, you can attach some button, solder it to pcb and it will work (dunno why would you want even more buttons but hey). The whole thing is perfect, its like playing with old solid German mechanical calculator, and immersion in elite is beyond great. Oh you can also split your throttle to two virtual devices so Elite will detect all buttons (Elite cannot detect more then 32 buttons per device).

Awesome review ! Great video editing too. Instead of a mouse to move your vision, could you use VR for this game? Thank you.

Loved the garand thumb reference!

Ive been playing SimplePlanes off of my phone with a PS4 DS4 controller for about 4 years now, that setup is a dream for me

I’m glad I got my Logitech X56 for free. It feels like a big hunk of cheap plastic. They didn’t even bother to put a metal plate at the bottom of the throttle to make it feel “premium”. Would’ve been pissed if I had spent $250 on it. Is simply collecting dust on my desk now. It’ll be a breath of fresh air when I upgrade to this kit! Gonna get my Valve Index first though!

Thank you a lot ^^ It is nice to see the stuff in use and hearing your thoughts about them without having to risk throwing money out of the window XD Well for my start with DCS, I first used a PS4 Controller and the Keyboard... without I was unable to fly propperly, don't know why.

Having a look at the Saitech one you got back in the day I would say I went a bit overboard and got a mixture between the Saitech and the Virpil one...
