Light-HawkVirpil products....... ok maybe my funds aren't quite that high lol. Not going to lie though, there stuff does look awesome.

Edit: just staring at the Virpil Mongoos Throttle, Constellation stick and warbrd base drooling...... but do I really want to spend the near $850 for it....... maybe in time if I get more active in ED again. Honestly haven't been flying in ED that much. Still tempted though for Star Citizen and Flight Simulator.

I use Virpil Con-A, WPD Base and T50 throttle. I've never used them for Elite, but I am a DCS'r and their products are amazing. You're definitely getting what you pay for that's for sure.

I think with Elite you can get away with not having a throttle since people like to go with the L-R sticks, and maybe a rudder for the layout.

This happened last night. In combat and it just snapped, or to be correct, I snapped it. Checked out Virpil right away and they show up as backorder, going to order from them anyway. In the meantime my wife ordered a Wart Hog throttle and stick for me ( i don't deserve her). Sorry about the link, haven't figured out how to imbed a picture to a post here.

Wow. Hadn't heard too many people actually snapping a joystick. Congrats on the upgrades though!

Aleksander MajjamX-52?!?! LOL. That shit is vintage. Unfortunately, it's mostly plastic. That was my first throttle over a decade ago.

I'm with ya. It was my first (and second) HOTAS as well. Didn't want to sink a bunch at the start, just started playing Elite about 2 years ago, first flight game for me.

Set up new Warthog stick today, throttle will get set up over the weekend. New mounting plates for my chair on order from MonsterTech. Going back to Assetto Corsa now.

Nice! Warthog is legit. A metal masterpiece and a very good alternative to Virpil.

Yuna SakashiroI think that gamer wasn't telling the full story. Plenty of videos online of people running or falling head first into obstacles while wearing VR headsets. That's how you break your neck, not by "repetitive movements".

Burstar the Always on Time for DinnerI'm more inclined to believe it was his long term diet of soda and crisps that resulted in early onset osteoporosis.
