I find myself in a situation, of having too many choices, and no conclusions. I want to splash out on a new HOTAS setup, and I have settled on 2 options out of 3, the 3 being, VKB, Winwing, and Virpil respectivley. I have pretty much binned the Virpils, as I believe that the Winwing/VKB choices are much better ( Of course I could in fact be misguided here ) So it is down to a choice between VKB, the ridiculously expensive option, and Winwing, the les ridiculously expensive option, I like the look of both these HOTAS setups, except for the VKB rudder, which I do not like at all, and it would also add a fair old price hike if I went with VKB, as I would still have to order the Winwing rudders, ofr the Virpil one. I would be interested in anyones input on this matter, if any one has experience on these 3 setups, I would enjoy your input. I am currently rocking the X52 pro Hotas, and Saitek rudders. I feel it maybe time to upgrade my sorry arse to something more.....Professional :stars:but I find myself in somewhat of a quandry HELP !!!

I did play with that idea, however, it is a plastic gimbal based system, for the stick at least, and for what it is, ie first gen  "advanced" Hotas, is still rather expensive, so that is a no I fear. I am aware that the stick can be modified etc, but I cnnot be messing around with fixing the issues with the gimbal on a stick.

Thanks for the input though.

Well............ you seem a mite miffed over this issue. I don't know from Jack, so I held my silence, but if I'd known you were going to get all EMO over the issue, I would have recommended........ something less expensive. :biggrin: image.jpeg.cc2354b202e2f116affc4269eb1436f5.jpeg

With a little desire, a few miscellaneous items, a 3D printer, a CNC machine, a room dedicated to your new build, and a fresh divorce you too can build your dream. Trying to be helpful of course.

Well the divorce part is easy to deal with at least, as I am a reclusive hermit, so no female interactions to deal with !!! A 3d printer is on my  "Must Buy" list, as for the CNC machine....errrrm. :rofl:

And what with him being one of those dreaded & dastardly Limeys, he'd probably end up practicing carrier landings from the wrong side & end of the deck....... with all too predictable results. :smile:

Makes you wonder if a Tinder profile seeking women whose prior husbands owned a CNC Machine and it's gathering dust in the workshop would get any traction. I mean the number can never be zero right?

Well what would be encouraging there, would be the fact that the former "CNC widow" has not disposed of said CNC apparatus, and therefore may even be a closet model maker/Flight sim affectionado....................In the words of a famous Vukcan, Fascinating.
