Crash Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Sim flying can get a bit silly. Still, awesome PC+ top of the range controllers+VR+motion platform is an awful lot cheaper than owning a plane and lets face it WHEN you mess up all you do is hit re-fly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welllllllll..........like I said, I'm going to treat myself, so this unit will come in at $300US including delivery. Mine will be slightly different in that I'm having this throttle handle fitted The guy who makes this stuff is called Vitaly and he's in the Ukraine. He's been doing this for a while now and has established a solid reputation for quality and delivery. Of course, being in the Ukraine means no PayPal or credit card payment - and the protections you get from them as a purchaser - so I'm going to be operating on trust and doing a credit transfer into his bank account. Take a look at some of his other work; https://www.youtube.com/user/GVL224/videos and the thread on the BoS forums; https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/23758-iron-mechanic-throttle-motor-control-axes/ FT's old Logitech G940 throttle unit has done sterling work for me for several years now and I really like having twin levers and lots of buttons but it's getting pretty spikey in its responses these days. Three hundred bucks does not really seem that much if you consider the quality of these bespoke units compared with whats available in the way of mainstream products. Also, I'm using a Microsoft FFB2 stick which is only twenty years old so I know I won't have to replace that until at least 2040, so I thought I'd blow some serious lolly on a throttle unit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Actually ~300USD seems to be a really good price if it works (and I suspect it does) as good as it looks! Can't wait to hear/see your appraisal of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Launched my $300USD into the ether tonight. Around the end of July I should receive either a parcel from the Ukraine or a visit from UK Border Force! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Arthur Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Aha!!! It's arrived Size comparison with what it's replacing; Initial impressions; very nicely made, very neat, very smooth in operation and very plug and play. Me like 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
