derbarbarian Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hey guys, I need a little advice, my last joystick (Microsoft Force Feedback II) broke a while back so I haven't been able to play any of the DCS titles that I own which has been driving me absolutely insane because I love playing them. I'm finally at the point where I can afford to drop a decent chunk of change on a new setup but I'm not quite sure what to go with so to speak. I've always wanted one of the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog setups with a set of rudder pedals, but they seem to be sold out absolutely EVERYWHERE, even if you CAN find them the third party sellers are price gouging like crazy, I've seen them selling them for upwards of $1,300 when they normally go for $450. So I'm wondering if you guys could recommend a good alternative setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbot Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I would recommend the WarBRD base by Virpil and any grip you want. The mechanics inside the base is just excellent. https://virpil-controls.eu/shop/bases.html The bases and grips are often sold out, so you have look out for them until they are available.

DustyFox Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I'm playing DCS for less than month. Bought my self CH Combatstick. Now I'd like it to be Fighterstick (more buttons). And throttle would be great. If I'll continue to play DCS I'd like to buy VKB or Virpil setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Man I have been waiting for my Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas going on 3 months now. It’s like the company stop working cause of the damn covid stuff. They are back ordered just about everywhere. I’m using my old MSFF2 for right now. Good luck I hope you find one. A throttle is definitely needed for DCS. CH has been around and I heard it’s a good set up but for me I don’t like the looks of the product.
