Just did a review of this stick myself, it's what I use now and cannot recommend it enough - great review!

F/A 18 a-g are fly by wire. The legacy hornet has a mechanical back up for the stab actuators ONLY incase of electrical failure. Super does not have that back up as it was worthless in the legacy. They all have "artifical feel" which is just a dummy weight in side the port access panel that the g-forces will try and straighten (feel). That allows some feed back but end of the day the Flight Control Computer only allows x amount of flight control movement and auto flap movement by its calculations. Fun fact, the legacy hornet was the first use of a AMD 64bit processor back in the late 70's. It is slow enough if you move the stick fast enough it will allow one to one movement BUT you will over G the plane.

Thanks Grump, I've been looking at this recently, so this is really helpful. I'm running a STECS and their rudder pedals, both of which are excellent.

Have been using the Mk III for 3 years, it is IMHO without doubt the best stick and base you can get for the money. Shipping in the EU is from NL so just a couple of days. The fact that they downright encourage you to take the base apart and fiddle with it is pretty amazing.

Absolutely love the product review of grump, and when I upgrade from my x56 this will definitely be what I'm looking at. Also just curious are you no longer putting out any of your Sluggers DCS content? I really miss watching those

These are great. I have been starting to save up for my next joystick. I've been into Sims since I was a kid, ran with the Logitech Wingman Warrior and a Thrust Master Top Gun with I was a kid, and have been making do with a Logitech Extreme for a few years. So I definitely deserve something quality and I believe you have convinced me.

I have winwing f18, and f16 joysticks and throttle and Virpil Alpha joystick and CM3 throttle. I love my Virpil throttle the most out of all of the throttles. But I like my Winwing Joysticks handle a lot. Never used a VKB but Winwing and Virpil have amazing quality. But Win wing for the price has by far the best quality to price.

I just ordered the MCGU for my Mk III GF - mostly to treat myself, if I'm honest. I had debated getting the whole Mk IV Ultimate set instead, but since my GF is not even two years old and works great, I decided to reduce the load on my wallet a bit.. :) That said: I am upgrading from the MCGP and I view the Ultimate more as a "very nice to have", optional purchase. The Pro has almost exactly the same functionality and it already feels quite sturdy and very well put together. Plus some reviewers have criticized the Pro for its supposedly "loud" or "click-y" buttons, which I can't confirm based on my example. All buttons are near silent and feel very nice and positive when you press them. So if you're undecided, you might want to make things easier on yourself by not getting the Ultimate and opting for the Pro instead. I'd rather invest the money you save that way in a desk-mount (must have for this kind of stick, IMO) and in an extension. IMO, an extension is a much more important and effective upgrade. I initially used just the grip on VKB's UCM-S mount and decided to give the 100mm extension a try and, man, did that change the stick's feel (for the better). Since I only do fixed wing aircraft, I don't think I would have a use for the 200mm extension, plus it wouldn't fit with either my existing UCM mount or the space I have available at my desk. The 100mm one is very much usable with the shorter VKB mount, especially if you set that S-mount "one hole longer" than the maximum length VKB suggest. In any case: It probably will take some getting used to with any sort of extension installed, but that transition was well worth it, IMO. The stick feels even more precise now and less like a gaming device but more like a "real" flightstick... if that makes any sense.. :)

VKB also has a gooseneck extension you can buy. You can open up the base from the top or bottom depending on what you want to do. I recommend checking out the VKB playlist in this video description for a full explanation of the assembly / dismantle process.

May I ask that do you guys who are using the device have the same problem I am experiencing now? I put the grip on a table. My forearm sometimes touches the edge of the metal baseplate or the metal grip base, I got a feeling of a light electricity shock or static electricity discharge. I think the electric grounding of the device is not done well. I also brought the STECS throttle. The throttle baseplate is made of metal and has the same static electricity problem.
@WyvernFalken

If you're experiencing it from both platforms that leads me to believe you have a grounding issue outside of the devices. You might look if any if your other electronics are experiencing static discharge or shocks.
