rrohde Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 WIZZO is simpler and offers less in-depth feature, while VKBdevCfg is full featured and offers far more customization options (and thus, complexity).

Sokol1_br Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) WIZZO is for users that became scared with programs with more than 1/2 dozen options. :) But both - in mater of calibration - do the same thing, no better, no worse. DevCfg allow set curves. Edited December 22, 2017 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 With the MkII revision, were the spring tensioners tightened up at all to support the weight of the Warthog grip? I've essentially made my decision to go VKB over VPC, I'm just slightly concerned about some of the feedback I've read regarding the base not handling the weight of the metal grip too well...even with the strongest springs. Somehow I am getting the feeling you're expecting too much out of the throttles that are in development, Buckeye. I'd be happy enough with the VPC throttle, to be honest. There's just really nothing about the preview that wow'd me...plus I HATE that the mini-stick is being forced to the thumb. I would love to see something top notch from VKB (maybe including some finger lifts) but my expectations are tempered. At least it will be better than my Warthog.

unknown Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 What is the recommendation on the springs and cam for the MCG Pro for the Gunfighter rev.A base? I'm asking because i tried to mount my Thrustmaster Warthog Stick on the Gunfighter Base(bought in summer, waiting for the MCG, never used) with the Adapter kit and found out that i can't loosen the marked screw to get the gimbal out. I think the MCG Pro is lighter as the Warthog so maybe the default cam and springs work with it? I already ruined one allen key trying it. :cry::D Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1 System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
