Excellent condition, used about 50 hrs in star citizen. Bought originally in April 2026.

I am selling these because I originally got Virpil Aeromaxes, but the left stick still hasn’t shipped/been produced after many months. So I got impatient and got these for SC, but I haven’t had time lately to play

The left stick is boxed as an Omni throttle but then I got the vertical stick adapter later on and liked it more. Both will be included.

The mounts are these ones from Amazon:

Solid and heavy, adjustable, fit the bases well. I added a little bit of foam tape at the bottoms so they don’t scrape your knees.

Asking $260 shipped to lower 48 for everything. Would prefer to sell it all together.

Condition: Like new, barely used
Includes: Both units complete with original boxes/packaging

Selling my Gladiator NXT EVO stick and Omni Throttle together — barely used, like-new condition, everything shown in the photos. Upgrading/reallocating my setup. Both original boxes included for safe shipping. Happy to answer questions, provide timestamp photos, or take more pics on request.

In good shape, all original parts and boxes included. Selling because of upgrades.

Hey guys. New to flight sims and will be using my Quest 3 to play MSFS 2020 in VR. I'm looking for a dedicated stick and have decided on the Gladiator NXT Evo Space Combat Edition. I'm just wondering do I need the left or right handed version? I'm right hand dominant & seems most people use left handed sticks? I'll be using the stick as a throttle as well. Thank you!

My VKB Gladiator NXT is already very old and i want to upgrade it.

I've read a lot of new brands in the last months, WinWin, Moza, Virpil, ...

Which Sticks/Brands i should check out?

Hey all,
New to flightsims/flying in general, but I want a good setup in the price range of 500-600€. I’m of course open to a setup that’s cheaper ;)

I mainly like flying helicopters, and would like to do so in games like DCS (also jets), WARDOGS and ARMA Reforger. Might even go for some MSFS2024 and Elite Dangerous.
I borrowed the TM t16000m and twcs from a colleague for some months, but ended up getting tired of it because I didn’t like how it felt, if that makes sense.

I’ve heard great things about Virpil, but everything they have is on backorder. So I’ve been looking at mainly the VKB gladiator and STECS, but the Moza ab6 has really caught my eye, as it seems like a potentially really good cyclic. I also think I saw something about the base, being compatible with both virpil and thrustmaster sticks

Waiting on my Gladiator NXT EVO to arrive and I'm building the desk mount in the meantime, so I'm working blind on a couple of numbers.

Can anyone with the stick in hand throw a caliper on it for me?

1. Thickness of the steel baseplate itself (mm)
2. Height of the stock adhesive rubber feet (mm)
3. Total stack, plate + feet, i.e. how far the metal sits off the desk

Also curious whether people usually leave the rubber feet on when hard-mounting, or peel them for a flush metal-to-mount fit.

Many thanks!!!

Has anyone mounted the winctrl ICP and/or MFDs to the Virpil desk mounts? If so how did you do it? I ordered the icp & 2 mfds and am just curious how difficult it’s going to be to mount em to my desk mounts if possible at all.

By popular demand, the BlackWidow mounts are now available as 3D print files and hardware kits!

These are stowaway HOTAS mounts. They allow you to instantly turn your office desk into a cockpit and back, without compromise. 

This was a lot of work, hope you guys enjoy!

Got my VKB Gladiator EVO SC premium (right) in the mail yesterday, ran through the set up and calibration (not sure if i did this correctly).

Been trying it out with a few different games: DCS, Arma Reforger, and Nuclear Option.

The games recognize the joystick no problem, but getting the joystick motions and button mappings setup feels difficult each time. The difficulty ranges in the games I mentioned.

I understand that a players preferred button mappings are always different, but why don’t games have any presets for popular sticks or setups? Is there some software that acts as a middle man between the stick and these games and makes things easier? Or a website with popular config files for popular sticks + games? I guess this would be even more difficult for those that have more peripherals like a throttle and pedals (which i also happened to have ordered)

Perhaps i’ve been spoiled from my years of KBM and controllers…

Hey everyone. I’m looking to get my first proper flight stick for MSFS 2020 (may upgrade tå 2024 in the future)

I’m currently deciding between:
Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition – around $70
WINWING URSA MINOR Airline Joystick – around $62, BUT because I live in Norway, shipping is roughly $75–80, making the total around $140
The annoying part is that WINWING’s EU store offers the URSA MINOR for around €59.90 with free shipping, but Norway isn’t in the EU, so they won’t ship it to me under the EU shipping option. But the global option instead.
So I’d be paying roughly double for the URSA MINOR compared to the TCA.

I’ve also looked into package forwarding services where I could get it shipped to an EU address and then forwarded to Norway, but I’m not sure if the savings would actually be worth the hassle after forwarding costs and Norwegian VAT.
What would you guys do?
Is the URSA MINOR enough of an upgrade over the TCA to justify spending ~$140, or would you just buy the TCA for ~$70 and save the money?
I’m also interested in how much better the URSA MINOR actually feels in practice, especially for Airbus/MSFS.
Thanks!

I have been given a x52 hotas and although i do enjoy some combat flying, i prefer to do objective based stuff like cargo, passenger hauling.

Do you have any game suggestions?

Much appreciated for any replies :)

im trying to find a good set up for games like arma 3, squad, and wardogs, is the difference between a collective and a throttle big enough to be worth how much they cost? and are there any good places to look for used set ups ive only been on marketplace

Hello! I want to upgrade my Thrustmaster Warthog base and I ordered the Moza AB9 base and the MTLP panel. I would also want to get the Moza z-axis module, but I want it strictly to extend the joystick travel. I see on the website that the z axis can be locked, but it doesn’t mention in which position it’s locked. Can you lock it so that the stick remains slightly rotated to improve ergonomy or can you only lock it in the center position? Thanks

I have no idea what I’m looking at, I’m interested in getting a HOTAS system

(Games listed at the bottom)

I looked at the Logitech x56 and that looks good but I’ve heard it’s out of date or something

I looked at the thrustmaster WARTHOG and I can afford it but it’s a little expensive and I don’t know what else I’m going to have to buy for this and what that’ll run me

I just want to know what’s the best things to get, what things do I need to get for a great setup, and how do you people use a HOTAS without pedals because those are really important to actual flying, I do plan on getting pedals but I also don’t know what pedals

If you have any questions you need to know from me lmk

Games I plan on playing:
-wardogs
-war thunder
-MCFS
-MAYBE DCS
-Star citizen
-squad
-does arma reforger allow HOTAS?

Edit: I am a colossal idiot and did not realize that there was a wiki for this subreddit. I apologize, I don't use this platform often. I'll leave this post up if I'm still confused.

Edit 2: The wiki guides seem to be years out of date, so I'll leave this post up.

Hello all. I've been getting back into DCS (specifically the Viper) and I'm getting tired of using an xbox controller. I've been looking into getting this throttle and this stick. I have a budget of ~300 USD, though I can go a bit over if absolutely necessary. Really just wanting to hear if there's any better products in this price range as it seems like I'm always finding new products that are better in some way for the same price or slightly more.

Thank you.

Using Thrustmaster 160000 with the pedals
Wondering if using something more expensive would be better or if it is just the game..

Hello everyone,

I’m fairly new to DCS and I’m looking to buy my first HOTAS. I started playing since may on a ps5 controller, since then I have been learning how to fly and operate the F-16 module, and let’s just say ever since then I’m HOOKED big time. I’ve got to the point where I think I’m pretty comfortable with the module (as far as you can get on a controller), but I’m coming to the point where it’s feeling like it’s holding me back. I don’t own a HOTAS nor head tracking jet.

I want to invest in a quality HOTAS which will serve me for the coming years without having to worry about upgrading or being let down by the quality or functionality. For now I want to focus on mastering the F-16 before even thinking about getting a new module. My budget is around $500-$1000 in total.

So my questions to you guys are:

-What kind of HOTAS should I look in to? (Preferably something similar to a IRL military style HOTAS)

- Do I need to pair my HOTAS with rudder pedals or is that optional?

- what type of Head tracking do you guys recommend?

- is there anything else hardware related i should look in to that would enhance my experience?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey everyone I am in need of new cams, springs and some of the grip fasteners for the VKB sticks I have. I havent ordered from them since 2023, when they still had the NA store. Now i see they have a third party retailer here in Canada, but they dont seem to sell the cam kits and the springs are individually sold. Id rather just order it all at once so im wondering if I can just order it from the US store and eat the duties, or if there is another vendor i can get them from.

Putting my old lightly used center stick and grips up for sale. Open to offers too, especially for combo deals. Will ship in US and met up in central Indiana, maybe out of the country:

Virpil T-50CM2 base with cams and springs- $220

Virpil T-50CM grip- $120

TM Warthog grip-$140

TM Hornet grip- $140

Currently using a Logitech x56 setup on a dedicated simrig and sometimes clamped to the desk. Looking at upgrading for the release of the game on the 10th.

Options I was considering were the VKB with a modern combat grip ultimate, Moza AB9 or AB6 and the VBB STECS throttle or Moza MTP throttle. Does anyone have experience with there or could recommend a good upgrade path. I also play a bit of flight sim,
DCS and arm with my HOTAS.
