Now if they can come out with a cheap throttle to go with it then they'll force Thrustmaster to do a little better with their lower end products.

[@PaddyPatrone]

a friend of mine preordered one. So far he is quite happy with it. Good bang for the buck.

[@OddElephantLTU]

I was wondering how this thing performed. Great review. Wish this existed when i started playing DCS.

[@fabianwho9797]

I feel personally attacked by the inverted AAR... but great review, thanks! :D

[@crowsgarage6669]

this with a vkb stecs mini would be a really nice budget setup

[@Shaheen47Falcon]

Hey, Tuuvas, another great video. I have a question, so I have a modifier set to my xbox controller, which is the share button and bound to control button on keyboard but whenever I press the modifier or the share button it takes a picture or starts recording a video is there any way to stop this button from taking pictures? Xbox gamebar is disabled. Thx

[@osamah1988]

how did you set it up?

[@DirkLarien]

Does it have hall sensors ? ok ...so from product page seems it has. As a reviewer you should be highlighting that as that is most important thing on these things. That tiny usb connector might not be ideal choice (x52 owners know). Still looks interesting.

[@Tuuvas]

Yeah, the lack of info depth on the features is something I'm going to improve with future review videos. The only time I mention the stick axes are Hall Effect is after the AAR refueling test. And that's a whole 8min into the video, so not ideal obviously for people looking for quick info from a video review. It's worth noting that the only axes that are Hall Effect are the pitch and roll axes. The throttle slider and thumbstick axes are potentiometer. The only one I'm not sure about is the twist axis. As for the USB C connector, it should be fine unless you're prone to physically throwing the stick more than you should be. Is the concern disconnecting the USB C plug accidentally?

[@DirkLarien]

@@Tuuvas Oh kido trust me it is the things that you dont think about that get you. You move your leg badly here one time you clean dust the another day and pul there. It happens on occasion and eventually connection gets bad. Trust me owners of X52 know what am talking about. And that has mini din. This thing is tiny. Eventually i rebuild the entire thing with lot bigger connector. Anyway it looks solid otherwise.

[@RokuX51]

Literally why buy anything else right now. This stick is a game changer in the price to performance value for flight sticks. The competition will need to step up their game now which will be great for consumers going forward.

[@Roller-Coaster_Creations]

There already was a good price performance stick on the market that’s still better than the winwing, and winwing just copied VKB

[@tim-3705]

@@Roller-Coaster_Creations No the VKB stick gimball was not vkb’s design. It was a pattend owned by thrustmaster. VKB has as much “stolen” design as winwing

[@RokuX51]

​@@Roller-Coaster_Creations Yea the gladiator was the dominant option for so many years! Glad customers have a choice now and imo the Ursa Minor is a much better purchase.

[@sinisadovijanic]

flying chopper without proper hotas and pedals have no sense at all

[@theknxght]

thanks for the review! recently i picked up DCS after seeing your controller guide on it and it's so exciting! right now i'm just getting used to the game, while struggling to fly the su25t, but i enjoy it, so thank you for your guide. i may get this stick if i'll keep playing for some time, just to make sure it's worth investing time and money into it

[@the15minutegamer]

I think this seems to be what I'm after I'm not vibing as much as I thought with the controller and this could be a good answer. Not massively expensive doesn't take up loads of desk space it's just going to be camera movement that seems to be the issue. And for when I jump into msfs I think would be perfect

[@theeldestrelic]

TrackIR is expensive, and still made of goddamn plastic. But man it is the best piece of tech I've bought for Arma, DCS, ATS, Elite dangerous, and Star Citizen. Headtracking is fantastic.

[@the15minutegamer]

@@theeldestrelic it is. However issue I have is I have something called rotational vertigo if I move my head quick or too much I get sick. So I've tried track hat, and tobii eye tracker (but the eye tracker was a bit unreliable so used like a combo ) it's so so so annoying as I know it's what I need

[@RolandDobbins]

@@theeldestrelic- VR is far, far better.

[@banaantjexx164]

@@theeldestrelic A lot of people seem to push the Tobii Eyetracker over TrackIR. I'm thinking of getting one as well since I already have TrackIR, to see if it's a worthwhile upgrade or not.

[@Eagle01ph]

alright..... what kind of "gooo" did you put in there Tuuvas? 🤣 wait a minute.... that isn't a gamepad...... who are you!? What did you do to our Tuuvas? Give him back!

[@bjorn.thorvaldson]

Any comparison with VKB's Gladiator NXT?

[@aquamich129]

shhhhh don't mention that, he can't talk about it ;)

[@Kaehvaman]

When he opened the lid at 1:46 i was like "woah, this joistick is a copy of vkb gladiator nxt!"

[@Mike-qp2ot]

Great video! But... How did you refuel upsidedown? The port is on the top!

[@Tuuvas]

lol DCS-ism. The boom on the tanker is intangible. As long as the two points meet in 3D space, it'll work!

[@Tigermoto]

Aaaaaand you'll be back on a gamepad in half an hour.

[@Tuuvas]

Already am 😂 I'm tired of all this testing and product reviews I've been doing... time for an actual gameplay video next!

[@m0onshyne970]

@@Tuuvas sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you have any new recommendations for a gamepad for DCS? Your last video on the subject is a year old, and I just wanted to know if anything has changed? Thanks.

[@Tuuvas]

I highly recommend getting the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro. It is my new mainstay controller for DCS and gamepad gaming in general. Check out my review of it and you'll get to know all the features available on it

[@Tigermoto]

@@Tuuvas Flydigi's Vader series of pads are brilliant. Bought my Vader 3 pro on the back of what you told me. From what I've seen the Vader 4 Pro has quite a few QOL updates. Just wish you could add some heft to it.

[@pastramiking6874]

Gamepads are awesome. That dude's submarine may have imploded but his Xbox controller wasn't the reason why

[@nicotine5mg]

Thrustmaster twcs throttle + this stick is affordable to me. Though i found button number over 32 can not be detected in old game like IL2 1946. So i have to work around by other software like voice attack

[@magnitudefallout3944]

It you are willing to pay 100+ for a stick, you might as well simply buy one for 350, and quintuple the quality/longlivity. For a minimal budget testing if this is a hobby you like, it is really better to by a 50 bucks stick with a single slider on the side, and stick with the keyboard. This sponsored product - is inbetween the states of "let's try it out first" and "I am ready to invest long-term", and will satisfy none of them.

ever heard of logitech X52 and X56 on used market?

[@Jellybeantiger]

Great stick if you can order the thing. Site refuses to save my address details. Sigh.

[@Dark_Reaper2-6]

How would it perform in war thunder

[@LavenderCat175]

no.

[@muzzman1030]

Great Review Tuuvas :) Just curious on 2 things, mainly: 1. The deflection angle per axis. Did you have to apply any curve to the roll and pitch axis in DCS? if yes, what curve values did you set for the URSA Minor? 2. How's the plastic quality of the grip?

[@Tuuvas]

1. No, everything you saw here was without any curve in the axis tune settings. Including the inverted F-16C AAR. 2. Plastic quality is good. There's no flexing in the grip and it stays rock solid throughout use. If any the hat switches are a little floaty.. like they're sitting on a silicone membrane or something. It doesn't bother me though

[@muzzman1030]

Only 3 minutes in but damn. Think my current might be getting replaced.

[@tdhitchins]

I’m just having an issue with the setup. I can’t seem to load in someone else’s either, it’s meant I’ve had it for a good few weeks now and I’ve not even flown with it. I could have set it up in that time but I just couldn’t be arsed. This is for msfs

[@Zayats_MW]

That's a blatant copy of the VKB Evo

[@sgtjonzo]

@@Zayats_MW not really a copy but it does serve the same purpose

[@connorraab]

@@sgtjonzo it is a copy part for part. Winwing took the evo and downgraded the electronics to mass produce at a lower cost but worse quality. look at a teardown or the vkb response.

[@Mike-qp2ot]

I assume you have a copy of VKB's patent on the design?

[@Zayats_MW]

@@Mike-qp2ot Stop dickriding

[@reggiekoestoer1511]

@@Mike-qp2ot there is a video from a previous reviewer that did a teardown of both, the gimbal is the same design down to the bolt positions. Only slight plastic thickness difference here and there. But it's the same mechanism. The VKB gimbal fits right into the WW housing, that's how similar they are.

[@osamah1988]

I couldn't find the keybind files Can you help, please?

[@Kenedien_737]

Question, does ths work with other flight simulators? MSFS, Xplane12, etc? And does it support mac?

[@Tuuvas]

Yes for other sims. It's just another controller in the eyes of your computer. You'll just need to set up your binds yourself. As for Mac, no idea.

[@eillswim]

This is a blatant copy of tht vkb evo Theree bound to be a legsl case here as they literally copied the pincher gimble directly from thr vkb Evo gladiator Extremely Scummy. And ill not support it

[@vondalo5504]

while it looks similiar this is in no way a copy lol

[@connorraab]

​@@vondalo5504 It is an exact copy with downgraded parts look for a teardown or at vkbs official response. Overall its a part per part copy of the evo with flat out worse electronics and worse form factor base. It is not recommendable because winwings customer service is worse than vkb's
