Also special fuck you to Thrustmaster.

100% fuck thrustmaster. I gave up on them and got a pair of VKB Evo gladiators and absolutely love them.

I kickstartered Virpils advanced flight yoke system they recently announced. I bought a Winwing Ursa Minor Airbus joystick and it’s fantastic (considering I snagged it for $80cad)

I grabbed literally the cheapest HOTAS from Aliexpress a few years ago and it has been awesome.*

*It required tweaks. The stick centering spring was WAY too tough and had to be shortened. And the measured range of motion was only about 80% of the physical range of motion so there were deadzones at the end of each axis. Resistors can be added to each POT to stretch out the measured range.

EVO NXT x2 after both my TH16000s shit the bed. Yup, the roll sensors. Opened the damed things up, alchohol swabbed the contacts and sensors, put back together and worked again. But gave them away to a friend just getting into flight/space sims. I warned him about the sensors.

FFS Trustmaster.
