    PLEASE READ!
    I was planning on getting the WinWing TOP GUN MIPS set, but I am concerned about whether it will work with the F-16 and/or other aircraft in DCS World. Any info would be extremely helpful & appreciated I'm getting ready to get a gaming chair cockpit. I'm talking like the kind with the leather recliner, massage chair that reclines to 170 degrees, the monitor arm is independently controlled so it can be raised, lowered, forward & backward. I'm putting a 49" Ultrawide Curved monitor too. I also pre-ordered a Meta Quest 3 (I sold my Quest 2 & Quest Pro which more than covered the cost of it). Should I get WinWing HOTAS, Vipril or the new Thrust Master?

    • @msboi1218
      @msboi1218  Рік тому

      I think price to performance wise, you would be better off going with the winwing hotas. My buddy has the 16 Stick/throttle combo and he loves it. The Top gun mips WILL work with the F16. in Winwing's software, you can choose which plane you are flying so the mfds display correctly.

    • @msboi1218
      @msboi1218  Рік тому

      If you want, I can send you a screenshot later today of what the software looks like with the F-16 selected for the mips!

  • @williamtackett3814
    @williamtackett3814 6 місяців тому

    @msboi1218 I see you are using the logitech rudder pedals with your sim. Does that work ok, and is that plug and play? Im just getting started in dcs and need input where i can find it.

    • @msboi1218
      @msboi1218  6 місяців тому

      Yes indeed! The Logitech pedals work ok, I had to use some different bolts to mount it to the sim seat though. Everything is plug and play for the most part. The F18 specific panels from winning Automatically map most of the functions but you can always change them if need be. The only thing thats a little more difficult is getting the screens with the Top Gun MIPs to play with DCS. You just basically use them as external monitors and the software configures the rest. you have options for which plane you're flying too. They're pretty dim out of the box but you can boost the brightness doing some tricks with Reshade. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
