SunriseReaper Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I was looking at the Gladiator NXT as a Joystick, but af far as I am aware there isnt a throttle with it So I was wondering if there are any throttles you guys would recommend or just I just pick up Logitec G X52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerzone Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Have you considered the Virpil CM3? VKB are supposed to be releasing a throttle as well, but time to release unknown. I've had the X56 and would never recommend it to anyone. The design itself is quite nifty and I'm impressed with the layout, but the quality is extremely poor.... in so many ways. Including phantom inputs, connection issues, people who have had to re solder wires, buttons that stick, grease that causes different levels of friction throughout the throttle depending on whether you've just slid it recently or not, power use issues (some people needing to plug into a dedicated powered hub), the list goes on... I don't know if these issues exist for the X52 as well, but I've spent my last dollar on any logitech gear - once they used to have great gear (Still using my original G15 keyboards which they have discontinued) - I consider there newer stuff rubbish quality.

SunriseReaper Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 VIRPIL cm3 looka insanely awesome but its a little out of my price range atm. Maybe I can upgrade to it further down the line. Yeah I find finding new sticks really easy but if there are no throttles to use the joystick with whats the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) VKB say that will release their TECS throttle after the Chinese Lunar New Year - but are not clear about the year. If you can wait this "release", in meantime use the center dial in NXT base as throttle, is an analog axes. VKB SEM modules -teaser at ~$50 each, are good "band aid" temporary solution, but they are not in sales yet. The more cheap alternatives of standalone (at least in MSRP) is Thrustmaster TWCS or CH PRO Throttle. Edited January 6, 2021 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunriseReaper Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I was looking at the Thrustmaster TWCS and figured I could grab it Its kinda cheapside of things but that joystick looks too good to pass up I'll take a look at the other options you mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdan83 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I love my CM2 from Virpil. I just wish I had waited a couple months then I could have bought the CM3 with the detents. I think the winwing would be nice if you were only flying the f-18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
