The new base is very flexible and it can very easy be customized to various preferences and different aircraft types - military jets, warbirds, civil airplanes or helicopters.

What is your favorite joystick? Unbiased opinions ofc

@showtime112 2 месяца назад

I haven't really tried all the big brands so I can only give a limited opinion. But I'll tell you one thing, some 20 years ago I had one with force feedback. I miss that in modern ones.

Wow, I like this. I think I need to get back into combat flight sims that I was so much into on a PC during the 1990s. 😍

@showtime112 2 месяца назад

Just do it, as a certain large sportswear company would say :)

Thanks for the video! Your remarks about the "springiness" at 5:02 was precisely the insight I was looking for, and the reason I will NOT be purchasing this base. I love the old TM WH base over WinWing and others specifically because there is no springiness feel to it. I'm kind of upset that TM went that direction for this base as I found the non-springy feature of their WH base to be the most appealing to me. Thanks for the honest review.

@showtime112 2 месяца назад

I appreciate your feedback! Lots of people seem to hate the Warthog base but to me, it felt quite right in many aspects. I suppose TM has to go in the direction they are going and it does offer certain advantages. We'll see if they ever send me more stuff to test but they explicitly said I could point out to the things I don't like :)

@EvansRG78 2 месяца назад

@@showtime112 Thanks. Yeah, I've seen the TM WH base take a lot of hits, mostly about the plastic components. I don't understand that. I have the Virpil Wrbrd as well as WinWing bases and grips; they just feel a lot more flimsy and gamey... the TM WH with F16 or F18 grip is my go to for jets as it feels way more solid to me.

@kiekiek 2 месяца назад

So as a owner of virpil and winwing bases, is it really a must have above the original Warthog base. Is it that much of an advantage to have a more progressive feel with winwing/virpil and now the AVA by thrustmaster, over the more linear feel of the warthog. Can you be more precise with something like the virpil compared to warthog. I am on the fence of buying ava, not sure if really worth it over my warthog. Mainly fly F18, F14 and soon F4 in dcs, with some airbus commercial flying.

@EvansRG78 2 месяца назад

@@kiekiek Great question. I am on the same fence as you. Personally I am going to give it some more time, watch some more reviews and make a decision later. I am presently very happy with my old TM WH base.

@kiekiek 2 месяца назад

@@EvansRG78 yes 300 euro's is not cheap, and I always have been pleased with the warthog stick, never had the feel I was extremely inaccurate with it or could not control the planes well. So probably wait it out a bit.

@aquamich129 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the video! Can you tell us more about damping adjustability?

@showtime112 2 месяца назад

Thank you for commenting! Well, it's kinda limited to different springs and cams as it doesn't have an adjustable part for it.

@AsheS-J 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the vid😀Can you specify how dampened it is? will it still rock around after returning it to center with dampener to max? or will it slowly go there?

@showtime112 2 месяца назад

@@AsheS-J It doesn't go slowly and it will rock somewhat.

@BrunoBarata78 Месяц назад

The AVA has no dampening ATM. But it is planed to be sold later as an add-on. Adjusting for stronger spring tension mitigates it a little bit, but it isn't dampening.

Can you confirm if the grip connector on the base is made out of plastic or metal

@showtime112 2 месяца назад

It definitely feels like metal

@Ultimatevr123 2 месяца назад

Would you say this is suitable for a beginner to flight sims? Like the way you showed how to perform certain changes to it. New sub to your channel.

@showtime112 Месяц назад

Thank you for subscribing. Ava is suitable for beginners in the sense that it is very easily adjustable. Now, you have to ask yourself how serious you are about flight sims as it's not cheap. Alternatively, you might first purchase a cheaper system such as T16000M and then something high-end such as this later.

Thrustmaster misses the BIG and FAST Train FFB...i told them 2 years ago! Now MOZA, FliteSim and WinWing will take this wide open market! Brunner is out of range for most of the simmers!
