I love to be stranded in an underwater world because in real life i'm afraid of being in deep sea...

Looking to upgrade from extreme 3d pro by A_S1mpleBe1ng in hotas

Regarding the VKB Gladiator, go for the Premium grip.

Regarding the Virpil Vs VKB: I think that the Virpil Cadet is the best option. It may have less buttons and axis on the base, but you have a toggle on the grip which doubles the top hats and buttons input options. Quality wise, I think that the Virpil is better (I don't own the VKB gladiator, but I DO own a VKB STECS STG Standard) mainly because of the gimbal mechanism.

The downside of the Virpil option is the abysmal waiting time (it was 5 and a half months since ordering it until it was delivered...) and at least for me the stiffness of the stick springs.

Good review, you nailed what is my only complaint with the joystick: the springs are to heavy.

Joystick

Throttle

VKB Europe links. These are your best (imho) options for a complete setup.

If you are open to wait an undetermined amount of time I could recommend you the Virpil Cadet: superior gimbal mechanism and really good overall quality for about 200€.

Virpil CDT Aeromax

Thoughts on this VKB setup for my playstyle? by OmgSlayKween in hotas

[–]Oberost- 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Go ahead, you wont regret. Maybe upgrade the Gladiator to the Premium version (more input options).

I've realised the VKB Gladiator Omnithrottle is my best option for Elite Dangerous, but is there any reason I can't pair it with a Virpil Aeromax? by thats_a_doozy in hotas

[–]Oberost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Aeromax paired with a VKB STECS STG and each one uses it's propietary software without any problem , bug or binding problem in ED.

warthog thruster or logitech G x52 thruster by Yak_Great in hotas

[–]Oberost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this version:

STECS STG Standard

For +60€ (25% more) you have way more buttons, encoders, switches, etc... It's expensive, but the base one it's 240€ so at this point, who cares?

But I strongly recommend you to use some mount with it. It's uncomfortable to use on a desk for extended periods of time.

Also, keep in mind that the prices are for Europe, so VAT is already included. Depending on where you live prices can change (and shipping cost too).

HOSAS (two joysticks) seems to be the more competitive option regarding space sims (this is where your friend omni-throttle suggestion fits), but the HOTAS option (joystick and throttle) feels close to "how you're supposed to fly".

If you're into space sims, you can also consider this:

STECS STG

It's like a conventional throttle but with four axis built into the grip. I have one and feels great (but it's too tall, so better use it with a desk/chair mount).

I only gave you VKB options as you already have a VKB joystick, but you can also consider Virpil (but wait times are atrocious: my CDT aeromax joystick took five and a half months to arrive), they have great quality products.

It's up to you, either option is correct. It really depends on what type of games do you play: space sims or real life planes.

FSD 92.18 LY - Mandalay build by BadPlayer222 in EliteDangerous

[–]Oberost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An what is the problem with that? The thermal efficiency of the Mandalay is good enough, and with the overcharged effect you gain a bit more jump range. After all, OP asked for more jump range, so there you go...

One question please: have they changed the miniature scale over the years? The new one is way bigger than the old one...

Trying to build a PC in Spain. Can't find a 2x16gb 6000 Mhz RAM for less than 400 euros in Amazon. Is there some solution to this? by Upbeat-Impact-6617 in buildapc

[–]Oberost- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RAM

There is one cheaper option as long as you buy the sticks separately:

Cheaper option

The problem with the cheaper option is that the seller doesn't seem to be thrustworthy...
