That's a great question. I did not ask that. Having said that, I think extensions would lessen the force felt at the grip, and depending on the length of the extension that might mitigate too much of the force.

@@IvanSkyFlight thx for the reply. For me extensions are essential, as the leverage is key for precise movements.

You are welcome, and thanks for your kind words! I did not get to try to trim using the yoke, but I did have a conversation with the developer, and he discussed exactly this. Trimming on an Alpha is nothing like real flight, and I agree, it can be hard. I will link to the video part where Fabian from Flitesim discusses trimming. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nL-dit1zzpmUc58.htmlsi=miw6pceUuC_c1_wh&t=305

You don't have to. For example, there are several aircraft where their main displays don't have buttons or controls on a bezel. You see this in some of the airliners or even the Cirrus Vision Jet. In this case you can pop out the screens and move them to a different monitor. I also do this a lot with helicopters. Some displays (from within the sim) can even be popped and have touch capability, but other third party apps are needed. Air Manager as of now does not add touch capability to the displays that are popped out. Air Manager only adds touch capability to the bezels or other gauges being emulated.

I use a metal piece that uses the Alpha/Bravo cover screws to be attached to the top of unit, and then I use the clamps that came with the yoke/throttle to mount under the desk. I am currently using a commercial version for that that I picked up from Flight Sim Builder, but I also have a video where I made my piece from parts from Home Depot: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8V8aJuCmZnVXXU.htmlsi=ufJeOJpib0iViyzo

I just reread the POPM Getting Started manual on GitHub and it’s right there. Sorry, I missed seeing this before. All sorted now. 😂

@@frankpope9273 Awesome!

Thanks! Glad it helped!

You are welcome!

You are welcome!

VKB is still the standard imo. FFB is good when done well, but early models like this are likely to make you fly worse, not better. Still waiting to see how it impacts WW2 planes and chopper trim/hovering in DCS.

@@ziljanvega3879 I need to spend some time in DCS for the WW2 stuff.

Gauges could be made to look just about any kind of way, but so far, I have not seen a lot of Air Manager panels and instruments for MSFS/PMDG planes. I just picked up a copy of 777, and to be honestly it's kicking my butt!

Check the link in the description. I have updated this video.

Yes it would. I would love to design/have a combo flight flight/racing rig. I have a racing rig on an aluminum frame from Advanced Sim Racing, and holy smokes is that thing solid with zero flex. I would love to have something light for my flight rig.

The grip felt good, but I don't have a Thrustmaster grip yet to compare. Hopefully soon.

I can't say that I felt anything, but I wasn't concentrating hard enough. Hope to get this in the future and I will certainly make a video if I do.

I would never kid you.

They have now posted pricing on their website, but they did not mention an Airbus stick to me, and I have not found it on their website or in news releases.

The seat is for sure GTR and it looked like GTR was sharing a booth with Moza.

It's a good time considering the upcoming MSFS 2024 and X-Plane 12.1.

That's what they had set up. Although the rig next to it was running something different I think.

It is even the damn arcade mode in war thunder. not even the Simulator mode.

Glad you're excited about the base, and I'll pick my own lane, thanks!

@warster321 it’s not a review it’s a first impression it sure why he called it a review.

*why you call it a review I mean he clearly states it’s a first impression in the title.

I saw that. That is about what expected for the base. I am being told that is also compatible with Thrustmaster and Virpil sticks.

I do not, but the developer is very active, and I believe he is on github. He also responded to a previous tutorial video I did. His comment is pinned to the top. You may be able to reach him that way. Here is the video link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtSZe66ly9Wllpc.htmlsi=YJ-lrb04GwE5wymS

Two questions: First, is there more than one version of the NX Cub? I see a Got Friends version on the Marketplace. Is that the one you use? Second, without running POPM are you able to manually pop out the display using the right ALT and mouse click?

@@IvanSkyFlight Thank you for the response. 1) I am using the NX Cub that came with the simulator full version or at least I think so. I have a lot of stuff from the Marketplace but I don't recall purchasing that one from there or any other external site. TBH I didn't know that the marketplace had the NX Cub. 2) Yes, I can manually pop out the GPS display on the NX Cub and many other aircraft I currently have. I have tried numerous attempts on several aircraft and I can pop them all out but I get failure on every screen on any plane. This made me think there there is another common denominator maybe in the setup of the software, etc. I went through all that and I cannot really see anting glaring at me that would possibly solve my issue. I guess my concern is that the program doesn't work on any plane, which IMO is beyond the scope of your video or comments replies. I downloaded the latest version while watching your video and followed your process verbatim and I still get failed on every screen be it a single or multiple screens in a profile like you showed. I've watched the dev's videos and less the irritating non-verbal instructions, everything was pretty much covered in what I saw in your video. One thing I noticed is that for some reason every attempt to identify a view it seems to zoom the focus on the instrument or pilot's view. Unable to prevent that I tried reducing the size of the popoout all the way down to 50 x 50 to no avail. Frustrated I gave up late last night. Most of this I think comes from the fact that your video is very informative, simple and easy to follow. Grrr Great video BTW. I have watched a few of your previous videos in the past but now I have decided to subscribe to your channel. Thanks again! Brent

@@brentsnoddy1951 Brent, I just did a test run with the included NX Cub and it worked as advertised, so I am wondering if there is something else going as you mentioned. My best advice would be to reach out to the developer. He has a pinned response to an older video of mine. You could start there: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtSZe66ly9Wllpc.htmlsi=YJ-lrb04GwE5wymS

It was very cool. I know you are no stranger to force feedback. Haven't tried the models you have. This one was really nice. That size is a bit daunting, though. I have said this more than once: Flight simulations needs more affordable force feedback. Racing sims have had that for decades. The tech is there. Just need to price it right. The CLS-60 is a step in the right direction.

Alas, you are not the first to point that out. I guess it's because I don't use trim while flying these small helicopters and rarely fly the larger ones.

I am not sure what will happen, but the difference between last year's booth and this year's was night and day. At FSE 23, Nicki had a big audience and some exciting new gear. This year it was a small booth with almost no traffic and really no new gear unless you count the pedals. There was a guy named Mark (Marc?) who was very polite, but really was not very fired up.

Thanks! It was fun!

Not digging the carpet? Come on, beige flower carpet doesn't pop? Better cancel my carpet order...

@@IvanSkyFlight I already ordered mine in orange. Maybe not very relaxing color but it will make the sim look vintage and classy

It really ties the room together.

Me too. Price will be a big deal. Moza is usually pretty competitive. Fingers crossed.

@@IvanSkyFlight yea hope the base is like €400 or something & the stick like €140. But we will see!

@@IvanSkyFlight Price is known (but I guess you know already) and you can pre-order it on their site! Price is allright!

@@slechtnailed the pricing 😂😂

I am not sure. Others have said it was. Agreed. Need to try this out with DCS, MSFS, and X-Plane.

They were not

winwing will release some! they showed them on the presentation on the FSE

@@RIKAAR_Ambient winwing did? Or are you mixing it up with flitesim?

@@EvilTurnip Yeah! WinWIng "just" annonced "The Taurus" Base! But they will come up also with FFB Rudders pretty shure!

@@RIKAAR_Ambient lets hope so. I'm looking forward to seeing how the FFB joystick base turns out. An affordable FFB rudder pedal set after that would be amazing

They are wider than my Thrustmaster pendulum style pedals, but they did not feel too wide. The width does give you a bit more precision.

It's a good question, and no word on price just yet. Given that it's moza, it will likely be reasonable. At least their race gear is priced well for what you get.

549$ for the Base, 169$ for the stick and 79$ for the Z-Axis Module for those that want yaw and extention on the stick. No info on the throttle module and pedals yet

@@Takaoshi Appreciate, man!)

Thanks!

If I ever get my mitts on one, I will do a full review.

He was in the moment, having a great time I would guess 😀

The FA/18 is a fly by wire aircraft, forces are simulated to the pilot, you won't get a proper feel with a FFB stick. Now if he tried the Phantom then that's a different story 👍🏻

@@tonyf9076 Haven't tried the Phantom yet, but if it's the same as the Tomcat (which I expect it is, seeing as it's the same developer) then it should be considered the gold standard of what FFB support should be like.

@@khaledassaf6356 100% 👍🏻

I only had access to what they had up and running.

Didn't get a chance to try the Charlies. Having said that, the TM TPR pedals are hard to beat. One of the best parts of my sim.

@@IvanSkyFlightLove my TPR’s, especially after installing a damper.

I don't see anything posted on their website right now. I'll keep an eye out.

@@IvanSkyFlight Can you provide an estimate of the dimensions based on your experience with the product.

@@hornetj3777 Rough estimate: 5-6 inches by 7-8 inches. About 7-8 inches tall. It was mounted so I couldn't tell the weight, but Blu Games (who does a full review) says it's heavy.

I think getting back to the basics is a great idea. I would much rather they do as you suggest than to falter due to spreading their resources too thin.

Great question. Yes, you would need to purchase and install Air Manager. I have a video on how to install third party instruments. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNamksJzyc-pmYk.htmlsi=fm_3CLlVN0CoBlqh

Hi Ivan, I tried it, I was able to installed it but my knobster is showing not connected in msfs, the knobster is activate in air manager it shows in air manager that the knobster is active but in msfs the g1000 is showing but cannot use the buttons or knobster. And do I need to activate flight simulator plugins each time or it was one one when you installed it, thank’s again for your time, have a nice day.

You are welcome!

No problem!

And hopefully more force feedback.

@@IvanSkyFlight Absolutely agree!

I wasn't sure what it was.

@@IvanSkyFlight was just funny to see. Cool to see Ware thunder at a Sim convention

I thought so!

That is a great joystick you have, no doubt. Having said that, one thing I took from FSE 2024 was how cool force feedback is, and how behind the times flight simulation is compared to racing where force feedback is more and more common while also being affordable.

@@IvanSkyFlightvery fair point. I’ll give FFB another look.

I'm most intrested in the Winwing force feedback stick that was announced as well.

Balljoint disqualifies the Warthog stick tbh. At this Point its basicly an overpriced x56 with a bit more metal. But then again. its over a Decade old by now right? By now there are way better Hotas options in the same Pricerange from Winwing etc :)
