    Virpil flight controls. I’ve been playing elite dangerous and project wingman a lot and wanted to upgrade from my ancient but reliable saitek X-52. Unfortunately, when it comes to flight sim stuff, there’s really nothing above that tier except the most ridiculous hobbyist stuff. No regrets at all though. The difference is astounding.

    That said, if anyone is thinking about upgrading their setup, I can highly recommend the warbrd base. It comes with swappable cams and springs to perfectly customize the stick resistance. The software is intimidating but very easy to set up (with a guide) and once you’re updated your good to go.

      Elite is the 🐐space game.

      I checked out the SIM-PIT area at Microcenter. A man can dream someday.

      I’ll suffer with my desk 😅.

        I got a cheap chair mount for my setup because reaching up to the desk was killing my arms (especially with the stick because the base adds a solid 3 inches to stick height) and it’s a game changer. Pain in the ass to dismount when I want to scoot my chair in to play kbm games, but my God is it INCREDIBLE in vr. Doubly immersive because the setup aligns with your character’s hands, and they mirror what you do on the controls.
