June 21, 20224 yr comment_77846 WinWing has been showing some really nice hardware on their website but they were involved in some previous contracts and not able to produce. There was a 2-3 month delay... but they have apparently caught up and I was able to order the F-16 TQS a couple of days ago. Shipping was reasonable and timely. They have changed their website and it is now: STORE| WWSIMSTORE Report
June 21, 20224 yr comment_77847 Looks like most everything says: Available for pre-order Out of stock/Restock at unknown Prices look really good though. So, did you get a delivery time? Report
June 22, 20224 yr comment_77852 I want an F-16 Throtle, and the extra hat on the stick would be a very welcome edition. I really think that I would be better off spending the money on VR though since what I have is pretty damn good. EDIT: I honestly want to build one hell of a simpit one day. Gonna be all F-16 stuff including a real-life rear canopy section I got from a buddy crew chief in ALS. One day, when I am not so poor... Report
June 22, 20224 yr Author comment_77863 I don't have the tracking number but they took the money and I should be getting an email when it ships. .. which is better than taking the money and not getting an email that it hasn't shipped. Always have that anxiety.... Report
June 22, 20224 yr comment_77876 Well, looks like the F-16EX stick is sold out and I doubt that it will come back at that really good price. That's the only one that I wanted. Oh well... Report
June 23, 20224 yr Author comment_77886 Quote Well, looks like the F-16EX stick is sold out and I doubt that it will come back at that really good price. It may not have been "restocked" yet which means the price may still be good. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if I see a change in availability. They have been holding the sale price now for over 4 months. Report
June 23, 20224 yr Author comment_77890 Got the tracking number so 2 days from order to ship is pretty good and they are using FedEx. Report
June 28, 20224 yr Author comment_77984 About 9 or 10 days depending on the international date line... I ordered and received (today Tuesday 28th) the F-16 TQS. Not bad from China in that amount of time. First look, opening the box.... really nice stuff. WELL MADE and from quality materials. Not ALL metal, but no plastic. Rock solid. All I have to do now.... is put it together. OH BOY..... watch the video..... Report
June 28, 20224 yr comment_77985 Just checked the site and the F-16EX is available for pre-order. Ordered... Report
June 28, 20224 yr comment_77987 I think I'm firmly in the "Don't have the chops to justify this equipment" stage of flight simming, but I will keep my eye on these, they seem very nice. Report
July 14, 20224 yr comment_78253 Looks like it will be here maybe Monday. @Ludwig Any issues setting up the software? Report
July 15, 20224 yr Author comment_78260 WOW... talk about an endorsement.... even I had no problems. What does that tell you? There were a couple of things... it would not map the keys initially but as soon as I looked online for help the first thing I saw was that DCS didn't always like the timing setting (forget the proper term) and I increased it one step and everything worked perfectly after that. I didn't anticipate using my Virpil throttle for the buttons.... but HEY... they all work as well. NO shortage of buttons. Mounting is screwy because they totally missed.... or didn't miss would be more accurate. The framework that supports the detent guide covers up the mounting holes. DOH! So I am thinking I am going to use magnets and lock it down that way and can still easily change it out to/from the primary position. Definitely quality gear and I am very pleased with it. The switches alone show the difference between Radio Shack and aircraft grade quality. Report

July 15, 20224 yr Author comment_78270 I am using the Thrustmaster F-16 stick on the REALSIMULATOR Lightning base (hall sensors) The stick feels EXACTLY the same as that in the jet. Report

July 18, 20224 yr Author comment_78305 I really like it... this is the single most accurate component of any sim, driving or flight that I have ever used. The new ICP is using the same components (dobber switch specifically) as well and should be equal to the rest of the stuff so far. Report
