@@exoticxlj8815 I have heard mixed reviews, am currently using an Xbox controller because my poor 3d pro has decided to kill itself (half the time). Really hard to play with. If I had the money I would get this in a second without question. Never used the 56 too nervous to buy because of bad reviews.
No matter WHAT HOTAS you use, the EXTENSION does the trick for all modules. Compare the virtual stick lenght and how it moves with your own extension and movement. I'm in the Gazelle for few days now with about 35cm between grip and stickbase. The only aircraft which needs to lower the saturation a little, but no curve at all in no module!!! You will be surprised how easy AA refueling or flying the ball can be...
My desk looks similar. It's a cheapo $40 office desk that still holds together fine after 15 years as I've reinforced it by welding some all-thread rod to it. I've rounded the edges of it where my wrists lay against it while typing with a file and sandpaper. I wouldn't trade it for an expensive desk if I could.
A little late to the party, but thanks for this video Cap! I'm using your setups on the winwing for my F/A-18 and F-16, just modified a bit for my preferences. Great starting point to build on!
Thanks Cap, I have just got the Orion 2 HOTAS with the F16 stick and F18 throttle (it was just the bundle for the A10 on the Australian site. I will download the LAUs and see how I get on
My Saitek X-55 was a PoS which suddenly broke all it's wires to the grips, But its ergonomics were pretty good And the lack of those 2 dials w/push I lamented for a while on my Virpil CM1
You should really talk to C.W Lemoine. He has a great UA-cam channel. As former naval aviator and Hornet "driver" he could answer all your questions. I think he may even dabble in DCS on occasion :)
Ah! That feeling you get the first time you see one of your favorite youtuber/radio announcer... Takes some getting used to! Keep up the good work, Cap! Using Warthog here. Thanks for the reviews. Definitely going for the full Winwing ASAP! I personally really don't like curves on any axis but totally agree on TDC: I have similar with lower Y saturation and curve up to 40. Must-do tweak! And if course, curve that Gazelle tail rotor!
Don't know if anyone else said this, and it's way late after this video, but... Isn't that thumbstick hat at the side just assembled the wrong way around? The small nothc should be pointed towards the stick. Then you would also have a muuuch easier time pushing the thing to the left, because your thumb would get the necessary grip.
I'm using the PXN-2119II Flight Stick and works great for microsoft flight simulator X steam edition. Both the stick and throttle are very responsive and has lots of programmable buttons. I'm waiting on my track-hat system then I'll configure for the F-18 per the tutorials. I have the thrustmaster pedals and they work just as well with this config. :D
Awesome. The rest of my winwing is being delivered today, fed ex messed up and all 4 packages are coming on different days 😂. Anyway, I can see my 3d printer will be getting used for harrier nozzle leavers and maybe some switch extensions for gear and what not.
That's correct and it's much more natural way to use it. In the forward position, your speed brakes is retracted, therefore there's no possibility of forgetting it partially out. I use it that way and works great.
Your zoom in and zoom out is, in the real plane, the radar elevation control... Oh, one more thing, on your aa weapons control switch, the depress is to select the sidewinder. Great video as always!
Nice setup Cap....suggestion: use first detent on fire button for mic. That right hand is always on the stick anyway. Last: not sure what your seating position is reference to your stick....but you can improve you Helicopter flying 10x by having your right wrist resting on your right thigh. otherwise, after flying 6 hours or more..that right arm starts weighing 200 pounds. LOL
I just got my winwing f-18 throttle base with detent. I got the orion2 Max and with the F-16 EX. Stick for the extra axis. I would think I would have rather just enjoyed the original f-18 stick as you have. I saw no option for that. But in any case, the hairier jumped yet has one throttle and a secondary where your friction is for your throttle. That is the lever for your air exhaust ports. Believe it or not, yes. I have a real harrier jumps yet flight simulator. That's the only aircraft for the program and it's numbered from 0 to 100 in seconds of 5 as a dash and you'll see 10, 20, 30 etc etc. I was very comfortable at taking off flat top at 45° for that is what those numbers represent. Is the degree of the airjets that control your axis as you fly until your full forward. On a jump ship as we call them in the US 35° is sufficient taking off. It really all depends on your loadout but what I wanted to bring to your attention is that it has one throttle and your stick will control your axis. As far as landing with all axis as far as pitch and roll. But that friction lever is the degrees of your power ports for the harrier jump checks which I just love. I love it! Better than the f-35 B model. To be honest, I really do. Even though it's only subsonic is surely proved itself in the Falklands. The Libra and Taurus is always out of stock so I got the next best thing. But yes, the rocker throttle has a long throw and the stick coming from TM 16000. M. Euro fighter design. That was a very big leap for me and I tried my first formation last night. It was not the best but I believe nobody got into formation. It turned into a melee of Canon fighting. Had a great time. Puma 101st only fly the GRIPEN awesome aircraft turn on a dime with those kennards. I love my f-18 legacy. I wish they had the super hornet. I'm sure that'll be on its way. Puma 101st they stand up Sweden big time gap for me, but it's worth it. It's a whole lot of fun. Thank you for the tutorial. Enjoyed it. I'm very well. Take care 🕊️
Where you have your chaff flares is kind of wierd. I set mine up to be air brake, it can be momentary when held and then back to off when let go, or flipped to on and left there. Thats what it is in the plane as well. I use the upper button for chaff/flare because both are momentary
Cap as much as you talk about the green button, you wind up with It's Stick/Throttle ..Must be some of that Gods mysteries ways we hear so much about..😀 Sorry I couldn't resist Mate. Your WinWing setup looks awesome and I dependently want one. Thanks for the show and tell vid. You should set your old system up for you Wife and get her into DCS.
Imo: check your favorite plane and how the hotas is setup there irl, than just change all other planes to that to keep your sanity. Because pretty much every plane has basic functions slightly different (like suddenly on throttle instead of stick etc) which makes it hard to switch planes, especially if you haven't played them for a while.
@@JD96893 I was planning to make a bit of a diy buttonbox cockpit, but the design to 'melt' 10+ different planes together is a bit too much with 80+ functions etc, without taking some propper time for planning. Especially since some functions in 1 plane are axis, and button press in another. Or suddenly 1 plane needs some extra knob for certain functions extra etc. ;)
@@CommDante same problem, my button box was a bit of a failure(first time 3d printing fitted parts) I've seen pretty handy interchangeable label designs though. I don't know if you have a box, but I will say they are very immersive! You just have to come up with a design to fit your needs, and also set things up in a button macro software.
I've set up my custom throttle curves but one plane in particular (m2000c) the curves I set seem to be ignored by dcs and it uses the preset curve. Any idea what could be causing this? It seems to be a dcs setting or something that i'm doing wrong for this plane.
Looks great Cap! Gonna have to show us the internals at some point, would be interesting to compare with VKB/Virpl... The x56 would be a great stick if Logitech did not used such shitty components and half-assed plastic cams...
Good evening, thanks for the video, I'd like to ask for some information, does the product have an installing car file already configured for L F18? Would you recommend it? Or is it warthog? Thanks a good evening
This looks like a good rig if your just starting on any flight sim. It's the amount of coin you have to shell out only to discover you really don't enjoy it. Anybody have a suggestion on flight sim set up for anybody looking to dip their toe into DCS? I've been badly burned on games with a long brutal learning curves. No plane suggestions please.
Cap, you should use the up/down on your zoom four way switch as your SRS push to talk radio 1/radio 2 switches. That's how I've set up my warthog and it works very well (I also use forward and back for zoom control, same as you). It will also fix your Harrier mic switch location issue. I think your zoom switch is the radio switch in the real jet anyway. I use the depress function of this switch to open the communication menu for talking to the ground crew as well.
I just got my winning super Taurus and I can’t get the afterburners to light in the game. I calibrated the throttle and it seems to register correctly in the option-controls menus but in game the throttles only go as far as full mil power. This is with the throttle at full mil power, however, when I push up into after burner, in game the throttles don’t move past mil power. Any thoughts? I’ve tried recalibrating a few times but it’s the same each time.
Update: ok seems it was operator error after all. In the options menu under the SPECIAL tab there is a drop down option for afterburner detent. Mine was set to always on. The default is always off and once I changed it back the afterburners are working. Hope this helps anyone new to using a HOTAS
Weird problem… mabie somebody can help I installed the software from winning for the tactile feedback, forgot the name. Not sure if it’s related but right after I have 4 of the same joystick showing up now. It’s doing all sorts of weird stuff that I can’t fix with a delete I’m attempting to do a system restore and try again without software I’m growing weary of Chinese stuff even if it looks good From my pimax 8kx to these, I can’t get a good answer
Cap, I'm a TM Cougar user for 15 years now, I guess I'll never ditch a Cougar, it's a Fighting Falcon 1:1 replica with all switchology mapped as is but I really need a split throttle for all of these nice twin engine fighters. So I'm torn between Warthog and WinWing throttle. Judging by my Cougar experience I really like that true HOTAS feel of it being all metal, I might even be biased by it but seeing all that throttle range of WinWing and many more additional switches it has I might do wrong by going after Warthog throttle. So could You please advise are You more satisfied with WinWing throttle compared to Warthog one? What's your opinion now, which one of these two feels/works better? Best regards mate!
@@EbonySeraphim I got me a Taurus, WinWing F-16EX throttle looks good, throw and both cutoff and AB detents seem realistic as in real F-16 (I guess)...but I have something against that funny looking MAN RNG/ UNCAGE button. It has a 4-way hat on top that's not realistic and a RNG knob that seems a bit too tiny to precisely manipulate with side of your index finger, especially if you wear gloves. Dunno, haven't tried it yet in person, it's just my 2 cents.
What made you go for the Winwing when you already had the Warthog HOTAS? The Warthog stick just needs a 6" stick extension to give the same movement. I bought a pack of 4,6 and 8 to see which was best.
Warthog base is vastly inferior to Winwing/Virpil/VKB bases. TM does not make a good quality base compared to their competitors and it is known to break after heavy usage.
@@havinganap Genuine question: which cams are you referring to? The Warthog stick is incredibly smooth and accurate with a 6 inch stick extension, The sensors are hall effect. What wears?

Oh Man, I so appreciate the video and the content but the way you talk actually stresses me out listening to you. You talk at 100mph and have to constantly correct your thoughts for the speed. So my brain is going at 100mph to keep up with you and then constantly pulling up to keep up with your corrections. If you slow down by 50% I could calm down too. Maybe that's why you are a good pilot in a dogfight ? Meanwhile I'm off for a Valium. But thanks again for the info :-)
I got a reply right away when my F-18 throttle was defective. They asked for a ton of info and pictures, and in the end, they sent me some replacement parts for me to fix on my own. I was a little nervous doing it, but I replaced the control board in the Throttle and it works great now. Even though the joystick was ordered under another name, and a different address, the still sent everything to me, from Asia within a week. I would easily recommend their product, and I have nothing but good things to say about their customer service.
I am building new pc and will get win win for sure at 72 I need all the help I can get ,i downloaded dcs but nothing works I am that far down level 🦅🇺🇸🦅
Be careful of the WinWing software as I helped a buddy of mine using VR find The winwing software was using an export.lua file to synchronize the apu on light on the throttle. It was killing his framerate in the CPU frametime. He has alerted them to this issue and has heard back but not fixed yet.
Good Grief CAP, Sand and paint those boards ... You in Grim Reapers for goodness sake how can you even fly with RC no wonder he's alway at max throttle.
Anyone know if any genuine reviews of this product out there? I've searched and only see those from DCS insiders & sponsored reviews. Anyone who owns the warthog be ideal.
I own this stick personally. The mechanical cam base feels much better and smooth than Thrustmaster's gimbal design, warthog or cougar or T16000. Throttle however idk. IMO if you want a hornet stick just buy their instead of buying warthog base and TM hornet stick
I bought mine used (I think the guy who sold it to me, tried to hustle me, because the F-18 throttle grips weren't working, but when I contacted winwing they sent me replacement parts within a week. And everything works now.) Total cost for the throttle and the stick was $400
how do you use the mapping files? I've downloaded some but am not sure how to implement them in DCS. Thanks in advance.

Good day i have f18 hotas orion, how to setup hdg and crs ? Thks
Would be cool if they made a helicopter setup...
Oh Man, I so appreciate the video and the content but the way you talk actually stresses me out listening to you. You talk at 100mph and have to constantly correct your thoughts for the speed. So my brain is going at 100mph to keep up with you and then constantly pulling up to keep up with your corrections. If you slow down by 50% I could calm down too. Maybe that's why you are a good pilot in a dogfight ? Meanwhile I'm off for a Valium. But thanks again for the info :-)
Once Winwing sells you the product, you never hear back from them. I complained about several issues and NEVER heard back. Stay clear...
I got a reply right away when my F-18 throttle was defective. They asked for a ton of info and pictures, and in the end, they sent me some replacement parts for me to fix on my own. I was a little nervous doing it, but I replaced the control board in the Throttle and it works great now. Even though the joystick was ordered under another name, and a different address, the still sent everything to me, from Asia within a week. I would easily recommend their product, and I have nothing but good things to say about their customer service.
I’ve seen you post the same comment in multiple videos. What were the issues?
What about the coolie hat??
are you going to re label them?
but then you will lose the backlit
I am building new pc and will get win win for sure at 72 I need all the help I can get ,i downloaded dcs but nothing works I am that far down level 🦅🇺🇸🦅
One step at the time! You will enjoy DCS soon. Took me over 2 months to set it up and get comfy with the Sim.
Be careful of the WinWing software as I helped a buddy of mine using VR find The winwing software was using an export.lua file to synchronize the apu on light on the throttle. It was killing his framerate in the CPU frametime. He has alerted them to this issue and has heard back but not fixed yet.
That problem was solved two software updates ago.
dream stick right there...............
Good Grief CAP, Sand and paint those boards ... You in Grim Reapers for goodness sake how can you even fly with RC no wonder he's alway at max throttle.
Do they ship to Australia?
Saludos. Esas tablas son demigrantes...
Are you still using it?
Yup
@@grimreapers so you finally found an X56 killer!
I'm getting my Taurus and libra this week
Why not Virpil?
Because Winwing sent it to him gratis.
Engagement
Anyone know if any genuine reviews of this product out there? I've searched and only see those from DCS insiders & sponsored reviews. Anyone who owns the warthog be ideal.
I own this stick personally. The mechanical cam base feels much better and smooth than Thrustmaster's gimbal design, warthog or cougar or T16000. Throttle however idk. IMO if you want a hornet stick just buy their instead of buying warthog base and TM hornet stick
@@z1maass727 it's difficult to imagine any smoother than the wh, thanks for your message. A better targetting ministick I hope?
@@CameTo the TDC/mini joystick on the throttle you mean? I think both producer's are good enough.
It cost more 1000$
the whole setup, but not the stick
Nobody said it was cheap, buddy.
Yes, for everything, the stick, the extension, the base for it, the throttle, and its attached panel.
I bought mine used (I think the guy who sold it to me, tried to hustle me, because the F-18 throttle grips weren't working, but when I contacted winwing they sent me replacement parts within a week. And everything works now.) Total cost for the throttle and the stick was $400
This hurts my brain
Ur really not how I had expected lol first time seeing ur mug lol
Cap !
Your wire management gives me anxiety
What is Management??
