After 3 years of service, it seems like the time has come to retire my trusty X-56. Got a great deal on a used Warthog base and the sidestick is ordered! Thanks for this great showcase
As someone who's flown Level D A320 and A330 sims for around 12 hours in total, this is amazing. Will have to keep an eye out on this, thank you for giving us your perspective on this.
Didn't get an desk mount since where I'm from, I would consider the price a little unreasonable. But I gotta say, a small chair and some heavy books work really well as a mount.
I’ve been using this for 10 months with the warthog base and have had no complaints at all. I didn’t realize they have the blue rubber gaiters now but that’ll be a definite purchase soon.
Completely agree about the base discussion. I have both Virpil and Warthog bases and I actually moved my Warthog to a Virpil base because I feel the Thrustmaster base is "sloppy" and less precise, especially around center. But at the same time the feeling under load is far better, 100% agree. Sad that it's such a tradeoff.
@@Star-bp5jj …better! It is much “heavier” in feel. Made my sim feel much more like flying a real aircraft. Got the cat3 tiller as well. For my setup I felt it was worth the cost. Not sure it would be for many. The new stick from winwing looks good too. But this fs projects stick is like using the real thing
I got mine 3 days ago. I use it with virpil warbrd-d base with the heaviest springs as mentioned here. I find it extremely heavy though… When I watch real live videos with Airbus sidestick operation visible it doesn’t look that heavy at all… What is noticeable though is slow return to the center of the real thing.
Very nice Video, I have the same set-up and I wouldn't give it away for money. Compliment to you for the Video and to the boys from FlightSimProject for their Side-stick. 👍👍👍👍
I agree, after months of searching this particular setup was the last one I tried and I’m sure glad I got it because it is definitely the best one IMO and will be worth the wait for anyone who goes this route
Hi, I like your videos very much, because there are so many detail and informations on a high level! I use zje Thrustmaster Warthog stick on my left side and I'm very satisfied, because it's very very precisely and I think the strongness of the spring is very realistic.
188 euro in case you were wondering. Less the base. You have to order the stick to match with the base of choice it seems. Was there a 20% off code you forgot to post V1? 😁
Very nice video! I was thinking about getting this sidestick but just one question: Is the tension similar too the real sidestick because I've noticed the real sidestick is very stiff?
@V1-Simulations Do you know what the differences are between this and either an Orion2 or Super Libra with the WinWing A32 grip, and which is better these days? Could you sit down with @320 Sim Pilot and do a comparison review together, please :P?
It's always funny seine bus pilots making so many inputs that don't actually do anything. I think it's a psychological thing with flybywire. You make inputs because you're bored with how stable the aircraft is.
Amazing, I might get this for myself... I love my HOTAS Warthog since I use DCS and XP11, but I've been flying the Toliss A340 a LOT these days... I think it would be a good purchase.
Does your setup include the flat magnetic base, or just the smaller circular base the stick plugs into? The reason I ask is..wouldn't the flat magnetic base get in the way when trying to find the perfect position for mounting
@V1-Simulations I understand the side stick is mounted at an angle in a real cockpit (I.e. it’s not mount exactly flat relative to the ground). Do you know the precise x and y angles relative to the floor? Is it about 6-13 degree tilt to the right(cpt)/left(fo), and about the same forward in the real Airbus? (I’m thinking of mounting the hotas metal flat plate onto a wedge-like base and that to the desk mount)
Hey V1 do you know if this stick will work with the orion 2 base by win wing? I have their f18 setup and looking to move away from the tca sidestick. I like this stick for the reasons you mentioned much better than the winwing sidestick.
Do I get it right that the underlying mechanic is actually the same as with the thrustmaster hotas? In other words: Is this stick basically just the grip and the buttons or does it actually change the resistance etc?
Thank you so much!!! This is exactly what I was looking for! I was leaning towards a different base than the thrust master warthog since it has a ball and cup design, but you sold me on it since it is more similar feeling to the real thing, I will just have to take your word for it. Its not like its going to be for fighter jets ike my center mounted hotas, Im hoping the wear will be significantly less consering it wont be jerked around very much since it wont be seeing any combat lol. Hopfully some sort of grease or lube can prolong its life! Im so excited to try this one out, I appreciate you!
Glad you found this video then! yup I think you will enjoy that base combo. For "airbussing" it just feels right. There are some guys on YT who have videos showing how to lube/grease the base. Fortunately for me tho I havent had to yet! Enjoy your new combo when you get it set up!
Thanks for making a review from a REAL PILOT's perspective. Although I have the Oldhog base, I'm really not a fan of its obsolete centering mechanism...so I want to give it a try in the future on "THE other brand" which I happen to have as well. Do you think a lighter spring, dampening from the dry clutch(I have the heavier model from the "THE other brand" that has a dry clutch system like the VKB), a shorter stick extension(not 100% sure but it appears to me that the real thing has a longer arm than any of the desktop joysticks), or any combination of the above could potentially save those cam&spring-gimbaled joysticks a bit? Also I was wondering what kind of material the fsprojects' product is using, is it metal as well? Thanks in advance!
For sure, I think with the right tuning you can definitely get the feeling right "in motion." My problem was that on my setup when I went to the heavier springs, and I think on my VKB i doubled up with like a heavy and light spring, when I held the stick "under load" at or near its limits I could tell that there were springs fighting me back. While yes the warthog base tech is obsolete when compared to Vkb virpil etc having that giant ball socket and single heavy spring in the base really camouflage what is going on when under load. As far as range of motion or arm the real airbus is not all that much different than the warthog really! Id have to measure it somehow to be exact but again, remember in normal day to day operations we seldom move the stick in full deflection (other than flight control checks). Keep tuning it, strive for the resistance of the warthog, without a super quick snap back to center feeling and you will be very close! The material seems to be a very high quality resin, which I believe the real stick is made out of as well.
Thank you very much, your analysis on these joysticks is very interesting, the thing that makes me hesitate to acquire it is the problem of your peripheral vision without a Chinese hat and no buttons to zoom in/out... You have a VR headset for vision or use the mouse, or others...?
You need monitors or projectors giving you at least a 180 degrees field of vision, the only way to operate an aircraft simulator realistically, your eyesight is operating partly sideways even when looking straight ahead, there are no chinese hats in Airbus. The Fsprojects stick is well worth it's money, I've used it for half a year, and this review was very good 😊
Hey there!!! amazing video ! i just got my FsProjects sidestick with the hotas warthog base, id like to see your settings sensetivity for msfs2020 if you do have a spesific settings for it . thanks !
Oh man. In October I sold my warthog and bought the winwing. I fly lefty and the warthog wasn’t comfortable. The winding has been great but v1 is the man as far as the A320. Oh well. I need the hat switch but this one looks good and would if been cheaper.
@@V1Sim I was to. I was looking for a a320 stick for the warthog. The winwing came out so I jumped on it. Humor me tell me the winwing is pretty neat the real thing. Hshsha Love what you do my friend. I was a boring guy and you converted me. Happy holidays Capt.
That’s wonderful I just got exactly same stick but do I still need to custom some sensitivity settings or just leave with all straight line of the controller axis, appreciate l!
Hello sir. So to start fresh I need to purchase the Thrustmaster Hotas joystick? Will the grip it comes with simply unsrcrew making room for the new grip to be attached? Kind regards I think I just need to purchase the magnetic base separately and not the entire hotas joystick? Does that sound correct?
That is correct to start fresh you will need a base. I recommend Thrustmaster Magnetic base. And then you will need the grip, and on the website just be sure to select which base you went for, in this case, thrustmaster magnetic base. Cheers!
What do you mean by tight? Stuff in motion? This could depend on mounting location, it’s critical to have the right angle/arm support to have proper leverage. And I suppose could depend on the base, perhaps spring tensions may not be 100% uniform across mass distribution. But personally I don’t feel it is too heavy at all
@@V1Sim just finished watching your video. I’ll have to look for the program to adjust sensitivity for the Thrustmaster hotas base. But yeah good point, my seat arm rest is about 1.5-2” higher than where my hand should be on the stick. I’ll increase the stick height. Mahalo! 🤙🏽
How to lessen the centre detent of the warhog base ? I find that due to the force I need to overcome the detent i have difficulty to make very fine control of the stick
It’s still a very good stick, however my personal preference is FSP for the details I outlined in the video. But both are high end flight sim joysticks
@@Cloudybox12 True, I love TrackIr. But I still use it together with xcamera (and a hat switch and number keypad) in xplane, and with just the number keys in msfs. It occurs to me that if you weren't using a hat switch for either trim or view change, it could be used for additional PTT keys (teamspeak, fs2crew etc.) edit: Oh, and MSFS has this annoying habit of switching off head tracking if I look away, so it handy to have a button for Toggle Headtracking as well (this would be true even if MSFS didn't switch it off, still nice to be able to toggle it).
Just to clarify, my OP was intended as a joke and my understanding is that V1 prefers a nice, clean sidestick that looks and feels like the one he's used to. I have nothing to compare it to so will probably continue using my CH Fighterstick, but I did enjoy this video, thanks.
No, just the magnetic base. Thrustmaster branded the “thrustmaster warthog” originally as a grip AND base package. They have since re branded to “thrustmaster magnetic base” in order to just purchase the base without the stick. So if you don’t have anything yet, all you need is thrustmaster magnetic base only and the grip from fsproject
Some very critical information is missing: compatibility of this stick with various platforms (PC, Xbox, PS). I am currently looking for one for Xbox series X.
Yes for sure! The bravo from Honeycomb is close as far as range of travel, im still waiting for someone to make full size grips for the thrust levers tho.
@@V1Sim That should be easy for A320 with 2 levers (not 4 for the larger buses). Hurry up, someone. I have larger aftermarket 3D printed throttle handles for the 737 levers as the stock sizing on the Bravo were made to fit a 5 yo hands! lol

i picked one up for my vpc warbrd and changed out the springs to make it feel more realistic, its great
Tip: also apply nyogel 767a to the warthog to dampen it a bit more
I’ve been using this for 10 months with the warthog base and have had no complaints at all. I didn’t realize they have the blue rubber gaiters now but that’ll be a definite purchase soon.

Does your setup include the flat magnetic base, or just the smaller circular base the stick plugs into? The reason I ask is..wouldn't the flat magnetic base get in the way when trying to find the perfect position for mounting

So software wise does it have any difference to the Warhog Grip that comes as standard ?
Can I use my thrust master a320 side stick and put that on it?
no as you cant remove the stick, its a ball in socket and the ball is the stick
The snake head. Make me scare.
what is your sensitivity values for this stick?
TCA Airbus vs this compare to real sidestick feeling? Is it significant between warthog original stick than this?
night and day. Hard to even make a comparison really, one is a "toy" for multi function, multi purpose, and affordable. One is "as real as it gets"
I am about to buy one but i was wondering if it is a lot better with the rubber thingy. Is it worth it to buy one without that rubber thingy?
Are you using the base that comes with the stick in the box or the magnetic one?
Can it be set up for a First Officer position?
Yes they have it
Yes indeed! you can purchase either FO or Captain side stick.
