The bracket should be mounted one level below.I have the same bracket.

If you bought the throttle section off eBay, then that's probably where your problem is. I bought the Thrustmaster combo and for the last five months I've beat the hell out of it with no problems noted. It was $541 including tax, so way too expensive, but I'm a Thrustmaster fan since the F22 stick days (what, 25 years ago?) and I'm happy with their products. BTW, the "Slap switch" is in the actual aircraft. The Block 60 is a specific UAE product (the country.)

I wouldn't buy anything made in Communist China by the Communist Chinese.

Thank you for the follow-up review, I'll definitely consider this for the homepit collection

I just broke the front panel glass, do you know the size of front panel glass?

I hate how if you don’t have the 18 UFC the 16 ICP can’t be forward of the MFDs like it is in the aircraft

Great video and great information. Thanks!

Sat in a viper 2 times at air shows having tried both the thrustmaster is more realistic.

I just purchased mine and waiting for it to come in. Ordered the metal warthog F18 setup with finger lifts. My MFG pedals came in two weeks ago. Next purchase is a Buttkicker game pro system. Been flying in DCS since late 2020

I like your reviews man. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to make them.

the winwing throttle doesnt have the chaff flare button because the winwing f16 stick has a CMS

Very helpful! 👍🏾

i have win10 (nobody need 11) no displaylink manager(why need) only need allow simapp when it try start on boot(malware) LOL monitors allready setup windows remember them(if they are same ports)

19:07 they are all identical. dont think they made all without have sticker this is left! click app this is left it rename it, but sure it was before only had mfc1 xD

5:50 and when want fly harrier xD

thank you.

Do i have to run this shit app every fucking time I load the sim?

u got a funny accent

So you actually removed 4 way switch ... a winwing throttle feature...

The issue I have with the throttle is that the handle is too tilted back. If you compare it to the real one, in idle position, you can see that 1 - the antenna elevation dial is pointing downwards on the real one but in winwing's version it's pointing a bit forward. 2 - The cage/uncage button is pointing forward on the real one, is pointing to the sky on winwing's version.

I'm almost positive you just eliminated your cage button. The wheel function is the zoom for your TGP in the block 50. The forward and aft is the steer point up and down on the ICP.

If you attach scroll wheel with the four-way hat with detent. You'll lose the ability for the detent to cage. A few also a few lower the profile of the spin wheel. To do that, you're going to lose the ability to raise or lower your radar gain. That's what those purposes are for. 🤔 All of those are thumb wheels but hey to reach their own you know. Whatever makes you happy makes me happy. Okay I see now. You're not interested in a four-way hat with the detent. Just the RF gain. Okay it does look good. Looks pretty sweet. I will. Will get a pic of of the block 40 Aunt the newest F-16 that they'll let me show to the public. With that being said, awesome job brother!👊😎

Winwing told me that the 5 volts could be used for extra power, honestly, I tried it, and it worked fine but didn't help with anything, it was just another cable in the way.

I got one for MSFS 2020 - I don't like DCS at all

JP thanks for this?

The winwing seems to have the correct travel, the thrustmaster seems a lot shorter.

I'm a MSFS simmer and I fly in VR with a YAW motion simulator. I ordered the HF8 yesterday to enhance the immersion- hopefully they will include msfs 2024 when it is released

If only we were able to have thinner pedals in width to fit on rigs better.

In the video, you say that the software must be running for the MFDs to align. Must the software be running for throttle configs to function?

Thanks sir. Just received my MIP, this will be helpful

🔥

Very nice indeed! Can the F16 ICP be connected to the F18 HUD Control Panel below?

Big help JP, thanks!!

Hi JP. Do you still have any of these to sell or did you get rid of them all?

I think I have an idea for you to get a better angle for the WinWing throttle - if your cockpit allows for it. What if you mounted the unit so that the base was angled nose-down? I realize it may make some of the switches more difficult to use but I think it would increase the comfort and realism for how the throttle grip feels. Forgot to mention, I found this comparison extremely helpful.

at least here in EU you can get the WINWING F-16 throttle and stick for CHEAPER than the TM Viper TQS. It is ridiculous imo.

I ❤IT!

My buddy hammy recommended your channel. Thank you !

Is it possible to make certain buttons repeatdly action when held down? For instance, if you press and hold a button in SimApp Pro the light goes on once indicating a click but I'm looking for it to basically blink indicating as long as I hold down the button it will keep clicking. Hope that makes sense. Basically I use the two pinky buttons on the left throttle as mouse clicks in VR and want to be able to long hold to rotate switches instead of rapidly click.

The key to getting the HF8 software to work with DCS is. 1 install the software, check the pads work. 2 Shut the software down. 3 Run DCS. When in the cockpit alt tab out and double click the NLR software, select DCS. Alt tab back into the cockpit and it will work. Fine tune the settings to suit. That’s it. There is no need to import and export files. The two big errors that it is very easy to make- the events aren’t turned on in the DCS profile and, the next one is the biggie- loading the NLR software before starting DCS. If you do the latter it won’t run in the sim. TBH this isn’t emphasised enough in the install instructions.

Awesome review JP! I'm going from MFG Crosswind pedals to the Orion Skywalker.

Kind of a problematic comparison. Your TQS almost certainly seems broken with the throttle drooping like that and is probably why whoever sold it on eBay. You should be more up front that it’s used as your core issue is almost certainly that and you may even be missing a part to address it. I don’t know how that might address the “smoothness” bit given how it’s pretty much the same contact/friction point, I’d say you have a polluted TQS sample. Lastly, I find to hard to take seriously that you don’t mention the WinWings terrible 5 way hat in the MANRBG knob. Multiple standalone reviews, that came out before the TQS was released, mention that making the knob itself hard to use or entirely useless and that’s bad considering it’s a core F-16 HOTAS function. Maybe don’t make the normal stuff hard to access while adding whatever extras

How is the keyboard and mouse pad setup??? What you have is what I need. Would you know the make or model number and where did you get that?? I am new to dcs and it’s not easy, but truly enjoyable.

I am having a frustrating problem. I am new to dcs and bought the winwing setup, (like in the pic here) and no problem for a few days. Now my main screen is spread out across the 3 ddis. The left one is where I find my mouse to click the exit of dcs. F18 2 week trial version is what I have) Have you heard of a problem like that before? Should I uninstall Simapp Pro and reinstall/setup??? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

These pedals are infinitely adjustable, you can adjust the angle by millimeters using the spherical rod ends or inches by the 3 pivot point holes. I have the VIRPIL Ace Combat pedals and they were great but these are just on a next level.

I've bought the tqs full price new. Me personally i use most of the additional buttons, dials and switches. The only thing I don't use is the lever. For zoom I use the little extra 2 way button tm added (just below dogfight/missile override switch) works very well. Never had to recalibrate anything it work well out of the box even for the f15c I didn't do recalibrate for the ab detention. The friction was also not an issue for me always stayed in place. Even when I let it go. The chaff/flare is used in either semi or auto cm mode if I am correct. personally don't use it enough as I use bypass usually. I've been using it for a few months now never regretted spending 420€ on it (equal to over 500-550$) Granted I did also buy tm warthog setup and thought it would go well together. The difference in shapes of buttons might actually be due to different block version the throttles are for. Yours are block 60 judging by the imprint not sure what the tm one is for

Have you calibrated the throttle after reinstalling firmware?

The best of the best is only what works best for you. I have reviewed lots of hardware and I like Winwing, for me it just feels right and more importantly I like the design, the original design of the F-16c and the F-18c.
