PhnxBndt79,

Welcome!

Hint regarding joystick: There's a logo at the top of each webpage that says "Sponsored by Thrustmaster"!

Secondly, if you spend a day and a half browsing our site incl. the FAQs and/or using the search function in our forums, I'm sure you'll find more than enough info on all kinds of questions you have! Make sure you grab the HD version of our video from our movie page as well. Youtube tends to have poor quality and it's certainly not full screen.

well typically what set up do the VTB use?

Not quite sure what you're asking?

I'll try to summarize better:
1. We're partners with Thrustmaster
2. We use HOTAS (or hands on throttle and stick) setups;
3. Hence, we use the HOTAS Cougar by Thrustmaster

For configs how the HOTAS is setup, search the maintenance hangar forum for any Cougar threads and for button assignments download the Foxy profile (for the Cougar) from our files page. Hope that answered your question!

The following thread kind of changed subject from its original state, but touches on the topic of rudders (i.e. what you were asking about): Click here!
