I found just a small amount of silicon lubricant in the finger lift joints really helps the squeaking noise and seems to help the throttle glide over the burner detent.

If I'm not mistaken, one can exchange the detents for the FA-18 throttle rather easy and there should be some included? Is that possible with the F-16 throttle also? Should be, albeit not from Winwing, but aftermarket/3d printed? Not sure...

I fly the f16 and love it a lot, but sometimes i fly 2 engine jets as well. how often do you actually split the throttles in flight? Even tho I like the f16 throttle more, would it be better to get the F18 if you could only get one?
@dcsanoldfighterpilotspersp4833

If only getting 1 then probably the F18 throttle would be better

Hi excuse me, I have a question about the gunfighter base, attach it to the F-16 grip, how did you do that?

They do an Adapter for the Thrustmaster F16 stick. Honestly though I would buy a Virpil base if you have a Thrustmaster Warthog as its Plug and play.

Sadly, mine is scattered all over the desk because I can find no assembly instructions. The PDF links from WinWing download page are all dead links. I keep avoiding trying to figure it out because I don't have the patience to put it together 4 times by guessing before I might get it right.

Okay, got my throttle base today. Not sure why they shipped all the components separately instead of all in one big box. I would rather get it all at once. Anyway, I have seen that the older version of this base had detents for the throttle for idle cutoff and for afterburner. Is this newer version suppose to have that also? My throttle has the detents on the throttle arms but there are no rods or ball bearings in there to ride in these detents. Is that correct? Am I missing something?

The finger lol fts are a separate part I think they will be with the throttle handles. Yes shipping is stupid.

I wonder if you've tried using the F-16 throttle for the F-18 and vice-versa. If you have, how do the Afterburner detents hold up against the modules they're not made for?

Honest I haven't tried that but it would work fine you would just need to set it up. The biggest problem is the Antenna elevation working differently between the Aircraft.

Sorry been on a trip. I prefer the F16 th4ottle as it feels more real somehow. It depends if you can live with 1 throttle. I would buy whatever Aircraft you fly the most.

May i ask what you're using to mount your orion please? struggeling to make up my mind what to use
@pekonipappa9292
2 жыл бұрын
The orion has the same mounting points as the warthog (both stick and throttle). Looks like he is using the virpil mounts, but basically every mount has WT options so you can go for virpil, VKB, monstertech basically it only depends on what is your budget and how much customization you have.
