This is not a how-to guide but rather just a problem I wanted to tackle and share with you on how I solved it for myself. Hope it will inspire somebody. Thanks for watching! 😀
You should send this to Winwing as a suggestion of improvement to their product. Maybe they will consider you as a potential partner and sending you their product in the future to review XD
Remind me of how the TM Warthog is a nearly perfect throttle grip if it not for the awful TDC / slew sensor control and the cheaply made switches. It wild how company making high-end sim peripherals decides to cheap out on the components of their "supposedly" high-end product
The cost of the Viper TQS from Thrustmaster alone is already a factor making it an inferior product than Winwing...530 USD for a product with less functionality than a 330 USD Winwing throttle & base
@@luckyheli13 only bad thing about WW is their poor customer support compared to other high end brand ( Virpil / VKB ). Their customer support is actually on-par with TM in term of shittiness, it just that they offer far more better product. Hopefully they will provide a better customer support after they opened up a warehouse in the US
Just tightening it down will likely not work because the O-Ring will compress and the knob will be uncomfortable tight to turn with your thumb. A DCS forum member who replied to my post on the DCS forum stated that he used M12x16x0.1 mm shims from ebay and used 3 of those and his play was gone. This did not work for me. The reason is that if you have a larger diameter hole with a smaller diameter knob. You will eliminate the wobble by using shims, but you will still encounter shift (side to side). This will reflect in inaccuracy between the hall sensor and the magnet as it was on mine. With a perfect cast, which would be unlikely, it may be not a big deal but I have tried shims and all sorts of washers and it didn't work for me. If you don't have access to machining, I may try a very thin walled brass tubing (hobby shop) to fit over the shaft. Take your knob with you and make sure it fits over the shaft section where it goes in the cast. If the tubing is to thick, clamp it in your drill chuck and use a sanding sponge or -paper to reduce the outer diameter until its fits perfectly.. A bit of grease applied and then use shims. Just an idea. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Cheers

Haven't really given a lot of thought about writing to Winwing but it's sure a great idea! Thanks for commenting and watching my video! Cheers
Love your detailed vids and exposing the inner workings.

Great video! This isn't a cheap grip and Winwing should have done this correctly from begin with.
Agreed! It did give me a reason to open it up and muck around with it :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

Are you planning on taking a look at the Viper TQS from Thrustmaster?
I currently don't have the budget, but down the line I might. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers

@@richarddo7881Agreed! I just ordered myself the WW Viper throttle for that exact reason.

@@richarddo7881 Yeah, WW's customer support is not the best.
hey I have same issue with ant elev switch would slightly tightening lock nut in switch fix this issue?
