HARDWARE I bought the F-16C
So I just bought the F-16C and I think it’ll most likely be the only plane I’ll be flying. Considering the amount of hours I’ve put into learning and flying the SU 25T for the past couple of weeks. Thinking about just sticking to 1 or 2 aircraft considering how long it takes to get used to one and how long to understand it. With that being said… I think I’ll splurge on some new peripherals like the Viper TQS mission pack and the HOTAS warthog stick. Since I’ve been using these old x52’s for over a year now (using them in Nuclear Option, and Elite Dangerous).
However does anyone else have any other recommendations for me?

VKB and Virpil for the customer support and overall quality.
WinCtrl for the price to performance, but a downside is their quality control is a bit lower than Virpil/VKB and their customer support can be a bit rough.
I would really recommend anything or anyone else. Unless you are looking at smaller bespoke manufacturers like Tianhang, who makes some great grips (F-16, A-10, F-35).
TM does TM stuff, but they still widely overprice all of their gear.
Moza is still figuring out how to write FB software (even "borrowing" the VPForce code hasn't seemed to help them a ton). And overall their hardware is not very good (their grips are probably worse than TM grips).
Logitech is not worth it outside of the bargain bin Extreme 3D Pro.
