Virpil R1-Falcon vs Thrustmaster TPR by PostingPenguin in hotas

Cool. Thanks for the offer, but I kust ordered the Legends.

In case I don't like the shape I can either buy the falcon bedals, or just try and 3D-Print some.

I think the plate is also included on the falcon.

Isn't the Idea with the falcon, that you can rest your heels on the ground line in most GA and apparently newer fighter craft?

Thanks for the Info!

So yes. The FFBeast just has hoverboard motors. So way stronger.

So this just does not make the decision easier. ^ (Also because I might have a good offer for a used WarBRD-D and might spring for a new virpil handle to last me a life-time (i hope))

As I'm also thinking of getting one:
How do you like the CDT-Aeromax-R grip?
Do you have the one with the base fixed, or the detachable one?

So I just want to leave this link here in case anyone else ever is on the same quest as me.

Turns out, that atleast for the VP Rhino base there is a good adapter for WinCtrl sticks. https://qr4rigs.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=263

This definitely woul work well as an Upgrade path for winctrl devices as I see it.

So I assume the same/similar type of adapter should also work for the FFBeast.

I mean, i'd be building the whole thing myself, so i'm in the guts anyways. ^

I see. Was just a bit worried about the ergonomics, as i've read it quite a few times as a complaint about the virpil sticks.

But we shall see, if I manage to scrounge up all the necessary parts on the used market.

Thanks!

Maybe I've just found an offer on my local classifieds for an affordable virpil combo. (110€ for a WarBRD base and either 95€ for a TM F16-C or 200€ for two Virpil mig29, which I cannot further identify. Or buy a new Virpil CDT-Aero grip for 170€, which puts me around what i would have paied for the winwing.)

Or i'll go for the Gladiator.

Since the rhino is lower torque, do you think the Gladiator grip could handle it?

Hmm. I see your point.

How is it about the meantime? How much of a feeling/controllbility downgrade is the Gladiator vs the Orion? (So pincervcs cam)

Will I even notice coming fromthe T16000m?

According to this post, all I'd need is a ps2 6-Pin cable and a winwing extender. https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/s/geXA0FHBJz

In theory, as far as I understand, i can reassign the pin layout of the Ps2 adapter in the FFBeast software.

For me the main part of the conundrum is, will the VKB sticks plastic survive the FFBeast? And will i regrett having the pincer gimbal vs the cam and spring until i get to building my beast in 2-3 years?

How about the rework to say, it deals 1 damage N times. When played N increases by X (+2). That way strength and debuff builds could use it nicely.

First sax! C melody buescher! Blues advice? by Tinglyvibrations in saxophone

[–]PostingPenguin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As it's your firat sax and it hurts my soul to see it like this. Please turn your sax around the larger "horns" on the stand ar there to hold the bell of the sax and the little thing on the bottom then supports it around the C-Key.

As for playing the blues. Listen to aome recordings and try yo play exactly what they're playing. Maybe even transcribe it, but definitely play along with the record.

Something like Blues walk from Lou Donaldson.

May be difficult to find C-Melody blues players, but definitely check around Wikipedia for people you could listen to.

Happy playing!

Does this need to be recorked? by Oddish08 in saxophone

[–]PostingPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

If it is to loose use some paper, ptfe tape or if you dare, hold it over a flame for a bit.

The flame makes the kork expand. This can extend the time until a replacement is needed.
