X56 VS VIRPIL VS Warthog

[NiiranenVR]

Well - I have got big problems with my saiteg  x56 ... all time have to calibrate, usb have to be with power and still they have there own live , so Bail out is not keybinded 

and now I can not open my program to calibrate - have tried to move and install again , still the same ....... so I want something new so I can use my energy to become a ACE 

 

So , I have not decided what to buy yet V or W .... but are they goin good without usb power, all time calibrate, and keybind .....Not the Price , but I want something that works ! 

 

Thanx

I can certainly vouch for the Virpil setup.

I have the T-50 Mongoose which is designed as a center mount stick, also got their mount and extensions for it. 

IMHO center mount with extensions is the best one can go - it really helped my flying and gunnery. 

If your setup is not conducive to center mount, they have the upcoming WarBRD which is designed as  a desktop only stick which I am sure will be good also.

You can check their product out here: https://virpil-controls.by/en/

 

There is also VKB who makes a good stick setup as well, I have the Gunfighter Pro already (never used) and the MCG Pro grip ordered due in next week, will be able to start using it some and compare once it gets here. They offer theirs as a desktop ( Gunfighter) stick as well as a mounted stick ( Gunfighter Pro) with extension. If you go with the Pro with extension would need to get a deskmount separately from someone else or DIY.

 

IMHO the above two options are about the best in the flight sim community for good stick hardware. I have been using my Virpil setup for several months now and really love it.

 

Edit: Not really sure what you mean by not needing usb power, afaik all stick require USB 2.0 and onboard they get their power from the motherboard, USB Hubs generally have their own power supply. I use a USB Hub without any issue.

yeah - Thank You Don 

I have made the plan to buy a Virpil center and so on in the future , and I have red about the stick before .....

so I was asking becourse I did not want a Expensive Joystik with lot of trouble again , so Ill buy it one of these days ...

 

About usb hub with power ....its possible to buy without power supply , but then the all usb ports have les power I guess ....

but never mind ...I have one I bought for my Saitek x56 

 

( sorry my english .....but not so many speak danish   )

Yeah if using a HUB for joystick controllers, always best to go with a powered one.
