Wayc00lio Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I've always wondered why there is a piece of rope across the top of the front instrument panel.

Xavven Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Side note - I found it interesting to see how far the pilot moves the flight stick to get changes in the aircraft's attitude. That must make fine adjustments much easier compared to my cheapie joystick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must make fine adjustments much easier compared to my cheapie joystick. His flight stick is significantly longer than on a computer flight stick. More hand input, but the same degree of motion at the gimbal. Some sticks (TM Warthog) can be extended, which gives the same degree of accuracy. Something I highly suggest people who want more accurate input explore. 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an official extension for the TM Warthog? Outside of people sticking a PVC tube in there to make it longer that's the first time I'm hearing it can be extended. Just curious to know because I am eyeing it on Amazon, just waiting until some kind of sale comes up to snag it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marluk Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Is that an official extension for the TM Warthog? Outside of people sticking a PVC tube in there to make it longer that's the first time I'm hearing it can be extended. Just curious to know because I am eyeing it on Amazon, just waiting until some kind of sale comes up to snag it. I have bought metal 10cm extension from Sahaj. The guy has made web page in the meantime (http://warthog-extensions-by-sahaj.com/). Anyway I would not recommend to go longer than 10cm except for some special usage. With extension longer than 10cm, centering spring on Warthog is not strong enough to center the stick by itself. If you fly mainly planes maybe 7.5 cm will be the best for you. 10cm planes/helis. I think longer than 10cm is only suitable for helicopters. After I bought extension I have never unmounted it from my stick. I'm still not sure why the extension is not provided by Thrustmaster. I think it should come in the box along the new Worthog. At least one.

Aginor Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yeah, the version of the A-10C using the helmet mounted sight is much newer than we have. Ours is not compatible. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socket7 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 iirc, it was a backup autopilot system, wrap cord around stick, hold it in place Nah, You use it to keep the A-10's transmission in gear when the synchros are shot, and it constantly wants to pop out of top gear while cruising. :lol: Practice makes perfect.
