I spent so much time on that meme in the beginning. Please appreciate it. I wish this video was as decisive as it should be, but I aint going to lie to yall.

THANKS MAN. i had big troubles with creating the waypoints. keep making more videos. i`II watch them gladly
Beautiful picture and I wonder how you did it …did you use OBS or the Nvidia recorder?it looks like you’re using a single eye picture from your VR headset… the big question is how the hell did you adjust the contrast and brightness of your HUD because mine is very faint and I’m using a Pimax crystal. Your instructions were fun as well… But can you keep the fucking swearing down for Christ sake? Thanks! I’m sending protective and healing vibes to you and your loved ones Chas
@@hesynergy yeah I used OBS, unsure of your HUD issue. The intensity is adjusted via the UFC, I’ve never owned a crystal so idk if that’s a headset issue. I’m also using one of the color filters built into the sim accessible from the options menu. Hope that helps!
ta sir! I'll look up UFC in my manual...ahaaa ...Up Front Controler...I'll look there In the cockpit. ...gonna look into using Lua-script to create connection with to Python<-ChatGPT->RIO/instructor/Flybuddy... yeah...I know the Warthog is a one seater...but after 9 years away this old fart needs some help...😆
My baby has made it.

You should have a check on Sebastian "PSM" ICP ;D Great stuff and budget compliant
@@fullnegi yeah I’m aware of him. He needs a website or something
With no budget restrictions you might want to look up the SimGears F16 ICP Pro - it uses the original Otto switch for the dobber. Hope I can afford it one day... BTW, love your videos, keep them coming!!
@@michaelkphoto8344 yeah, I ordered that back in June.
@@BlackSockRepublic Received it yet? Hope you will review it, I could only find one review of it on UA-cam.
@@michaelkphoto8344 no; he’s backed up so he said not til August 21
14:45 for sure
It changed my life.
Hey, man. I really enjoyed your review. Can the VFT3.0 be linked via USB like the base of other manufacturers? By the way, what throttle will you use for your F16 cockpit?
@@kisekiyu I’m sure it could, but idk what base you’d use to be honest. I have a real f16 throttle
@@BlackSockRepublic That's awesome that you have a real Throttle. Hopefully, Invictus will quit being a good throttle. I wish you good luck with your F16 cockpit build.
So, for the idiots like me that are lazy and slightly more broke/less autistic, which of the non-ssc style bases would you say comes closest? Desk/chair mounts are order of the day for me and I'm far too dumb to mess with Njoy stuff. If it doesn't get recognized in DCS keymapper when I plug it in I'm basically hosed. Yes, skill issue on my part. No, it's not likely to improve without brain implants
@@grifnizzle7197 no it’s cool, I appreciate the honesty. Get the Kepler from tianhang if you wanna go force sensing.
@@BlackSockRepublic Thanks pard
awww crap. now i gotta get rid of my Virpil WarBRD
@@crankfotton don’t! You still need a center stick for planes other than the viper. …which for that I’d recommend a VP force rhino so on second thought yeah get rid of your virpil 😂
@@BlackSockRepublic I am really clueless on where to go with this. I’d love a rhino or a ffbeast. But I am a little worried for the support. If moza and winwing get their sh*t together I’d be down for a better supported ffb. So, scratch winwing😂.
@@wash_out the rhino software is top notch. The FFBeast has more force which really attracts me but the software isn’t there… moza is the same force as the rhino, and so is the winwing base… worse still, the winwing base ONLY accepts winwing sticks 🙄🙄🙄 so that’s dead on arrival for me. So far, the rhino is the only show in town as far as I’m concerned.
@@BlackSockRepublic good to know!
Great info, thanks for sharing
@@DanielDrake my pleasure dude.
Mine just arrived yesterday!!! Wooo Hooo!!
Aaaaand I’m sold!
@@neok23 you won’t be disappointed
PS : you should calibrate the stick for the Y axis, it's a bit de-centered :P (or maybe just screw a few more/less one of the screw)
@@fullnegi yeah I mention that in the video, I need to adjust the screw
@@BlackSockRepublic Ho sorry, i'm not native speaker :s

@@The_ViperProject dude you gotta get one. It’s incredible.
My friend sorry for my ingnorance English is not my first language but ¿the base is the invictus 3 which has movement?
@@FGCH03 correct
@@BlackSockRepublic thanks, you seem very excited, hope it’s on the market soon. Cheers
You should try Traveler. I was not unhappy with it
Nice work man! If I may suggest, try a paint roller and brush on the other console if you haven't done it already, it'll save you a few spray cans and then you can finish it up with spray paint for the final color or do that again with a roller ;) a white base of wood primer will fill in nicely the grains & small imperfections and it's an easy color to cover up with a smaller amount of paint than the brown color of the wood
@@The_ViperProject yeah, I learned this too late I’m afraid
u +oobe can eat ym ssa
An excellent trick with mdf is to brush on Shilac and let it dry, probably 2 coats. This will seal it and act as a primer. Then you can paint it with a lot less paint because it won't act like a spunge soaking up the paint. Just don't knock over the can of Shilac on the driveway. Don't ask me how I know. Well, I may as well tell you. I was shilacing my ejection seat for my Harrier. Instead I accidentally shilaced the driveway when my foot knocked over the can. I had a nice 8 foot shiny spot on the driveway for 1 1/2 years before it finally weathered off! 😂
@@JLTSoft holy cow! Durable stuff I guess!
Nice to awake to another video.
It's probably too late to help you, but might help someone else; fibre board absorbs spray paint, hence why you had to use so much (probably took forever as well). A quick coat of a wall/ceiling paint with roller and brushes as a sealer before rattlecan top coat(s) would really have helped here, and you'd end up with a more even finish as well. Otherwise, looking good! Interested to see it all come together
@@_Majik yep. Learned this too late. Def a lesson for next time
3:23 Im looking at dipping my toes into VR for the first time, dont want to break the bank. Have you tried other headsets like the Reverb G2 or Pimax 5k? Valve Index seems legit but I do hear about that dead pixel problem a lot.
@@crankfotton the index is ancient by today’s standards. The reverb is getting long in the tooth. The Pimax crystal… light? I think? And the varjo aero are the 2 mid range headsets to look at now. The meta quest 3 dominates the low end market. I need to redo this video; so much has changed already.
Are you actually having Neg G's when the bombs are released or is it more like you have "dumped off" the G's before pickling ? i.e. just countering the pos g's with some neg g's ? I did enjoy this video. Thank you.
Gorilla Mind lmao
@@scottericksonwasted it’s really good lol. My new fav energy drink.
So it's 2024 and I'm that guy legitimately considering buying a Thrustmaster throttle. Hear me out, I want to dedicate myself to learning the A-10c, but I want my hotas to be as close as possible to the Warthog for ease of learning. To the best of my knowledge, nobody but Thrustmaster makes a A-10 throttle grip?
@@DingoTactical eeehhhhhhhhhh I’d go with winwing’s F15 throttle. The E one, not the EX. The a10c actually has the throttle from a mudhen and the stick from the f16 because the Air Force hates the a10 and didn’t wanna spend money on new stuff for the a10 when they upgraded a to c
@@BlackSockRepublic thanks mate, yeah I've been going back and forth on the winwing 15 grip, but it's probably the better peripheral. From what I can tell the only differences regarding button mapping are the comms switch and speed brake are swapped, and there is an additional hall effect wheel that would normally be used for radar angle?
@@DingoTactical the winwing wins by default because the TM’s have such awful issues. The pinky switch is shitty and dies. The slew is garbage; apparently they’ve updated it but no guarantee you get an updated unit. The throttle axis themselves die over time. Overall poor internal construction. The winwing isn’t exactly a Gucci unit, but at least it’ll hold up for you for longer.
@@BlackSockRepublic just actually watched your hog throttle video. Thanks for the advice, Winwing wins.
Bruh... with a couple switch mods would you agree the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle is legit??
@@scottericksonwasted well yes but actually no. The thrustmaster warthog throttle is woefully inadequate in a few ways. First of all yes - you could put all the real switches into a TM throttle but that would be lipstick on a pig for 2 reasons. 1. They have cancer. All the throttles suffer from a drift issue that will affect all units eventually and it isn’t fixable 2. They’re too short… they need to be extended to match the real thing; warthog project made some but they’re too long. They need to be a tad shorter. You could put real switches in it, but they’re also INSANELY expensive to buy a la carte from Otto or mason - especially the slew. Although delta sim is working on a force transducer that will work in it. A guy did put real switches in a TM throttle already, if you care to see how he did it and how expensive it is. Search the eagle dynamics forums for it.

@@checksixivan4921 there isn’t one - you need to contact him directly
Is the Tianhang SSC the same internal base as the Tianhang Kepler 22 base - only with the more realistic looking case for mounting in a 1:1pit? Or are they totally different internally?
@@checksixivan4921 unsure. Might be
The internals are not the same. -Jackson
Thanks, so do you know if the Kepler 22 does NOT have the “click” center detent “gimbal” issue as the PRO? It looks like it does not have the same shaft into the base.
I have a real A model SSC base, but finding a grip has been nigh unto impossible. At least for me, 100% unobtainium. So, I have a Tian Hang grip ordered and Chris's VFT and base. I also, unfortunately, ordered the Tian Hang base. I didn't realize there was a hard center detent on that one, which sucks. :( Oh well, I know Chris's will rock, and I'm looking forward to it! Fight's on!
@@NegdoshaManido sell me the SSC lol
@@BlackSockRepublic Who knows, maybe some day I'll let it go, but I'm still holding out hope I can find a grip.
@@NegdoshaManido let me know
@@NegdoshaManidothis is Jackson. Yeah, good luck with a real grip. A model grips are easy to find but good luck with finding a C model. Have you wired the ssc for the sim yet? I would ask around the facebook groups for a grip. The only way to get one is to catch someone selling it leaving the hobby.
@@airhog8161 Hi Jackson! No, I have not wired the ssc for sim use yet. I've been waiting for a grip to get serious about that. I'm not on Facebook anymore, but I stick my head into the Viperpits forum on occasion, hoping for one to show up there. I'll have to settle for the Invictus and Tian Hang combo, which still pretty dang ok, until I find a real grip! : )
