Wot to do, Wot to do !!

[Trotski]

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 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, I am overwhelemed with the amount of "help" I have been given here.............( OOPS was that sarcasm ? ) I have decieded to ignore  EVERYONES comments, and have gone with VKB Throttle, Stick, and Rudder.

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.

[Trotski]

[Trotski]

Oh and just a quick disclaimer, that previous comment was aimed squarely at my good and beloved mate Ron, before any of you oh so helpful bloody lot get yer knickers in a twist

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.

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.

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?

[Trotski]

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.
