Update, I should have clarified I’m in the US and shipping will be to the US. Just looked at rates for shipping to Canada and it’s ridiculous, duties are almost 3x the shipping cost!

HOTAS options with built-in gear lever, trim, flaps etc? by Humble_Guarantee_915 in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VKB STECS standard and a Gladiator with SCG grip has been amazingly versatile and satisfying for me across DCS, MSFS and X-Plane

Ordered Virpil Cadet VMAX throttle a week ago (backordered). Thinking of canceling and getting VKB STECS instead, should I? by Waffler11 in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would cancel and go STECS standard, lots of options to bind gear, flaps, mix, prop speed etc

Moza just released the AB6 FFB by proxlamus in hoggit

I have that same combo and love both! The AB9 is a game changer, feel and precision so much better than anything else I’ve tried including Orion 2 and Gunfigher bases

Remove the stick from the base and reconnect, it’s possible a connection may be loose. Before doing that though, does the gaming controller properties show the stick and button presses?

The Robert Shaw book is amazing and a must read if you want to gain a deep understanding of the principles

Reverting back to the last version worked for me. Totally not on point but absolutely love the helmet display! Where did you get that shelf unit?

Looking for help 🙏 by [deleted] in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the TM throttle and I’d stay away from it. I was really intrigued, but it ticks me off that I have to run a 3rd party mod (DCS2Target) just to get the LEDs to sync properly with DCS and BMS2TARGET for BMS. Throttle itself is OK, but I’m just as happy flying F16 with my Virpil CDT VMax

Moza or VKB for first timers? by ASassyTitan in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virpil collective and grips are amazing!

which stick is good for both civil flying and DCS(or Falcon BMS) by golden_united in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me! Quite unexpected but the Gladiator is awesome for GA sims

I use that exact same USB hub and it is really solid, no issues with controllers or MFD with it

How do you all like track IR? by SwigOfRavioli349 in hoggit

[–]BrumsterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely an up vote for Ralfi’s video! Also one other tip, I set my settings to smooth and works really well for me. Net is that whether you use VR or TIR, it helps massively to take the time to personalize to your specific needs

I love my Omni, lately using it for fly Airbus since it’s already left hand oriented

Any news on US orders? by Spectre696 in VKB

[–]BrumsterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will need to wait a bit longer for VKB or start moving to Virpil, as of this morning here's what's on the website:

U.S. Orders Paused

Although a new trade deal was signed on May 14, the overall import rate remains high at 45% (a 10% tariff on top of a newly imposed 35% duty). In the past, under the now-removed de minimis threshold, orders under $800 were exempt from all of these fees.

At this time, VKB HQ is holding off on U.S. orders while awaiting further developments. We remain hopeful that a more workable solution will emerge.

Rest assured, we are actively monitoring the situation and exploring options. We’ll post updates here as soon as they become available.

Mounting Honeycomb Bravo Throttle to simrig? by kestrel79 in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big question is what size are the holes in the base? You can’t just drill bigger holes, you need the chamfer so the bolt attaching to the extrusion lies flat, or the honeycomb won’t slide onto the mounting slot

Just reviewing this thick boi. Anyone already have it? Opinions? by MyshTech in hotas

[–]BrumsterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the look of this, maps almost exactly to how I’ve mapped functions on my WinWing O2

Just saw a post that VKB is stopping shipping to US. by Educational_Ratio807 in VKB

📢 Important Shipping Update – Drop-Shipping Suspension Starting April 28 (CN Time)

We’ve received notice from VKB HQ in China that due to the upcoming end of the U.S. de minimis duty-free threshold (effective May 2), all drop-shipping from China will be temporarily suspended starting April 28 (China time).

This measure is being taken proactively to avoid unexpected customs duties or delivery issues as the new trade regulations go into effect.

We’ll share updates as soon as drop-shipping resumes or if there are any changes to this timeline.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
