IMHO it is a very interesting plane and mission. Also BMS has the right tools for mission planning.
It will be niche for sure, but the key point is, if you wanna do it, do it.

I suggest you the Quest Pro.
It doesn’t require base stations and works very well with Falcon. You have 30 days to return it if you don’t like this VR set.
Nice choice for the HOTAS.
Many thanks for the update.
Very excited to see the new .bml format in action.
Wow. That’s fantastic. The T-1/F-1 is a great addition to BMS.
Thanks radium for your work and enjoy your well deserved rest.
Many thanks for the fix.
I was thinking to reinstall again.
@Spyhawk
Thank you very much.
Impressive work!
Another company will enter in the joystick market. Realsimulator will launch it first complete joysticks this year. They made some mods and joystick bases in the past for Thrustmaster and Suncom HOTAS.
First of all, they will release a F-16 joystick in left and right hand. After that, they will release a F/A-18 grip, also in right and left hand versions.
RealSimulator is well known for his mods for the Suncom F-15 Hotas and HOTAS Cougar (Game port to USB adapter). R1 and R2 mods for the HOTAS Cougar and more recently (2012?) they developed the R3 base for use with Thrustmaster grips. FSSB R3 base is now compatible with T-50 Mongoos grip. They usually release two versions, one for the professional market and another for the consumer market (tagged as HOME).
The price for the R3 Lightning base is not cheap, 450 € + shipping, but the quality is impressive.
In its 30th anniversary, finally they will release a complete joystick using his well known R3 Lightning base**, they designed a F-16 grip**, available in Left or right hand versions.
They will release a Professional version too. Not available for us.
At this moment they are working in the software. Next week they will talk with beta testers in order to get feedback from them and improve the software.
Preorder will open soon (two or three weeks? )
The price is not known at this moment, but probably will be higher than 450€ + shipping (As I wrote earlier, that is the cost of the R3 Lightning base).
Also, they are working in a F/A-18 grip, which I suppose that it will be released after F-16SG-HOM.

As usual, more info and updates, in his website.
It looks very interesting.
Available for pre-purchase.
Looks nicer than in the renders.
Good news for Europeans, they opened an EU Store.

One question. The theater has all EVAs? Oil rigs and Power Stations?
DCS looks amazing too - don’t make it any more appealing to me. Let’s wait and see how the Virpil stuff performs and more important stands the test of time before singing its praises. Giving such high praise to something not currently available makes me wonder if you have an interest in promoting it?
Did you see the mechanism of these hardware? Nope? See and compare with Unmodded Cougar, WH, Saitek and CH.
A trained eye would see the huge abism between typical stuff and these new hardware. And of course, there are the feedback of first customers. I am talking about design philosophy, materials employed in the available products ATM. For this reason I used the word ’ look’ talking aboutthu throttle. We’ll see how it is works when it’s available.
Now you get the point?
Your Statement. can be applied to the praises to the WH quality…. They didn’t opened it.
Read about perceived quality.

It came real close for me until you disect the internals and find old 8k pots inside 1980’s tech at 2000’s price point!
Still a good reliable stick though just not enough resolution in the axis at that price point. The TQS if you look inside is a glorified single axis mouse only it uses dated pots to measure position!
I think although its past the test of time I feel time has caught up with it.
When Virpil Throttle is available (in December or January ) , I agree with you. Until that, Pro Throttle is still one of the best throttles available.
Old pots… Reliable pots with enough resolution. industrial plastic outside. This is a item made for lasting years. Great software.
There are mods available for Cougar and WH… For a reason, bad quality.

TM Perceived quality strikes again…metal outside, plastic and bad connections inside.
This Virpil throttle looks amazing. Virpil like Baur and VKB, they make great quality stuff.

On the subject . . . if i want the best HOTAS combo (the price is not the issue), is the warthog is answer ?
I only play Falcon BMS and i would like to know if there is compabillity issues, etc.
IMHO, a Cougar with a FSSB mod.

yeap, looks like its the Combatstick. In order to be 100% sure, plug the combatstick in another PC.
Did you tried with different usb ports?
