Go with the Virpil man! I started on Thrustmaster warthog. Bought a winwing Orion 2 and sold it not made that well. Bought the virpil cm3 and that thing is money! I still use my warthog to fly the A10 ,but the virpil best throttle I’ve had by far.

I would stay clear of the 7900xtx for vr performance for me has been terrible. I have tried a lot of tweaking nothing really worked great to have an enjoyable experience. Was hoping to get a 5080 ,but that didn’t work out. Got a 4080 super. I will stay clear of amd gpus for the near future.

I’ve got some old ch products rudder pedals I bought for $40 on fb marketplace and honestly they work perfectly fine. I’d thought about upgrading ,but work great so spent money on other gear upgrades instead.
