The Thrustmaster AVA - Unboxing and First Impressions!

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

I just wish they'd come up with an FFB base at some point. It's not fun having to wait for a VPForce Rhino for 2+ years.

[@Hosscoller]

I'm getting used to mine. I'm using the F/A-18 stick on a 10mm curved extension. I wish we had adjustable clutch dampers. Don't get me wrong, I really love it compared to the TMWH base.

Well… first of all, I like your workbench. And that is a very well put together review, not only for the great production, but the information presented. Well done! It seems Thrustmaster have hit a home run with this base.

Damn, Sport doing hardware stuff now too, truly a Renaissance man.

[@Wheelman_PCAS]

Thanks for explaining the difference between these spring only joysticks and real flight sticks with internal pneumatic dampeners! I’ve been wondering what real a/c use to avoid this clunky funky madness returning to/ crossing center we endure!

[@RicheUK]

It would be interesting how this would be configured & performs in DCS helicopter modules

Nice video! Will a 3D printed stick extension that fits a standard warthog base fit this new base, and will the base fit onto a standard warthog base mounting plate for monstertech desk mounts?

[@SportDCS]

Yes, this is fully backwards compatible with all Warthog accessories and mounting options

[@the88tench3]

@@SportDCS Awesome! I will probably consider this then to be an upgrade to my standard base at some point! The extension I have has an inbuilt angled design to offset the angle of the grip slightly. Wish they'd make an affordable FFB base or upgrade to this down the line, given their experience with FFB racing wheels, that would be awesome!

Does the AVA work with Virpil Extensions?

[@SportDCS]

Glad you noticed it. A little project I’ve been working on! Stay tuned!

I like this video.

[@SportDCS]

I like you!

I like watching your stick.

I was thinking of you while I was gripping it
