HEYO!
Someone is being very generous to me and decided my gift was not enough, and now she wants to buy me more stuff…
I was eyeing this
The one thing that stops me is that the description says it comes with an USB C cable and on my PC I don’t have a USB C port.
Am I reading this wrong? Does anyone have this?
If so what are your thoughts?
Is there any other panel worth buying?
I remember some Saitek stuff but I am unsure if it works on DCS…
Oh I mean, hell.
There’s also this… WINWING
Between the two I like the way the WinWing panel looks like better, it’s more compatible with my current desk situation too.
Darn. It does costs quite a bit more
From the manual I can gather that the device itself has a USB port rather than a cable and the diagram suggests that it could (or should) connect to a regular USB on the pc.
Ah! That works for me! Many thanks!
OK I love her SO MUCH!
She got me the WinWingsim PTO 2 + mounting brackets!
EDIT: For clarificatoin- I loved her even before… 
Just saying.
But now it’s time to definitely buy her something nice for Christmas!
I’ve had the PTO 2 for ~6-8 months-ish. I use it in VR so if I’ve been away from the sim for a bit have to work by ‘feel’ more than any other device. But it comes back quick [muscle memory I suppose]. I got it immediately because I’ve wanted something to go ker-thunk with for the landing gear for years. The hook, wing fold and Jett switches - they work for a variety of platforms. I prefer a Universal Cockpit (cos I don’t have the money or space for multiple ones).
Some YT’bers groused about the ‘feel’ of some parts but not an issue to me.
I have the winwing mfd and throttle, so far brilliant build quality and no issues to report, one thing I had to do was 3d print a bracket to for the mounts to the desk
Darn! DHL confirm it has been delivered and I am stuck at work
OMG I love it!
The manufacturing quality is brilliant, the switches are SO SATISTFYING to use…
The only thing left to set up is how to fix it to my cockpit/desk but I already have a few ideas in mind.
I love my PTO. So sorry TM. China cought you napping and ate your lunch. F-16EX, Love it. Vibrations on the F-15E throttle and F-16EX stick. Hell yeah! PTO in VR, for the win!
Hey I was wondering - do you use a specific software with the PTO2?
I noticed that only in DCS F-18 the lights on the gear lever and all the extras light up when in use…
I’d love to have a simple programmable environment.
If it’s like the mfd and throttle, you have to use the winwing software for full functionality 
Yep then you have to flash the firmware every now and then when new modules are released, so all the bells and whistles work
Ok good to know.
As a side note: I do regret a little the time when I felt immersion and excitement just by playing with my keyboard at Strike Eagle 2/F-19/Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat…
No drivers, no updates, no gimmicks- just gaming and fun.
No I do not. I’ll go with what what they said above. I haven’t checked on this in some time but the WinWing software would inject a script that would have an effect on your FPS if you used any of the programmable features. They may have fixed this by now.
About the PTO, I just noticed something very cool. All the Toggle switches are different. I guess they are keeping us VR players in mind. I really like it.
And yes, I need to draw up some profiles for different aircraft including a helo one.
