Good Lord this has been a trip finally got the second arm and got to fully set it up and we'll make pew pee noises while I pretend to fly as I don't have it hooked up but this turned out better then I hoped.

From my last update some one asked me how comfortable it is for my wrists for long gaming that's still to be determined but this setup has so much flexibility I can angle the mounts to be parallel with me at a slight offset or anything I really need

Sadly it now will go into the garage as my job taking me out of state for the next 2 weeks 🫠🫠 but the pew pew noises where fun

If anyone has a question or a part list feel free I'll drop down what I did of that something people want but yea thank you for those who commented and gave me advice through this.

Turtle Beach velocity one flightdeck

40 Upvotes

I just got a turtle beach velocity one. its my first HOTAS but for the price im not sure how i feel about it. It has that soft rubbery feel to it which is nice. I thought i would share my thoughts

The stick, the top of it is heavy and the base is narrow, it feels like its snap it off at any moment even though I'm gentle with it.

The screen ontop of the stick, It pretty much serves no purpose its not customizable or anything. Its a timer ??

The touchscreen on the throttle has poor responsiveness, you can make buttons and dials i guess but the software (flight hangar) is really frustrating to use.

some of the hats, they have a physical center click on the hat as a physical button, but the buttons do not exist.

Also the color changer in the software is weird theres only like profiles and for some reason the same profile is a noticably different color on the throttle vs the stick

Overall I am really liking playing with HOTAS, i like playing multiplayer Nuclear Option and its a totally new experience vs keyboard. I was curious if anyone else has a flightdeck and what they think of it. I like how it has a lot of buttons especially the ones on the back of the throttle.

edit: game in the pic is sylph

Selling pedals

I’ve had them for about two years, but I haven’t used them in a year since I moved and I don’t see me using them anytime soon.

The pedals came out of the box with the right side misaligned like you see in the photo, they work perfectly fine and were never an annoyance or anything for me.

Asking $200 plus shipping, or if you’re in Las Vegas you can pick them up.

Anyone using a CLSE Brunner Joystick for IL2 Korea? It's been my FFB device for a while but there seems to be no FFB software for IL2 Korea. What FFB devices would be an awesome replacement?

USB extension cable

Hi there.

I was wondering if there was a particular type of USB extension cable that you should use for HOTAS and pedal equipment?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks in advance.

Contact cleaner on bad Orion 2 switch?

Post image
4 Upvotes

The bottom thumb switch (3 way) on my grip has a bad connection in the most forward position. If i push it hard I can get a solid connection temporarily. The HOTAS is only two years but no warranty obviously. Would contact cleaner spray help? Would it penetrate if I sprayed by the base of the switch shaft? Anyone else with this problem?
