Dear friends, I'm considering a 3-monitors setup. I own a Huawei Mateview 34" 3440x1440. I'm considering adding 2 lateral displays, but I don't have enough room for 21:10 so I would go for a couple of 27" 2560x1440. Question is: since the 2 lateral displays will have the same vertical dimension and resolution of the central one (1440p) but the horizontal dimension/resolution will be lower (2560 vs 3440), will I experience some image scaling or deformation, or do you believe this solution would work? Having the same vertical resolution, I believe the image should stitch well from the central to the lateral. In other words do you believe that I will keep full resolution in the central and then extend to the laterals without issues. Thanks, Max

I decided to give the Logitech a try and implemented the MOD with the springs. I have to say, it is now much, much more accurate, no central detent and I'm happy for the moment. I can skip the much more expensive Alpha. Perhaps in the future I'll take the Bravo but I'm more prone to Logitech panels instead, I believe they are nice. The only real thing pushing me to the Bravo is the big trim wheel, but I will try with the Logitech one. The Logitech Yoke + quadrant are very small factor and allow me to have in place also the x56 HOTAS so I can switch easily from FS to DCS.

Hi thanks, so just to clarify, can I use the knob to make 100ft increments? And how do you switch from 100ft to 1000ft increments?

Hey thanks for your reply. May I kindly ask you, if you can, to reply to my main concern: the Bravo throttle AP knob is adjusting ALT only by 1000ft increments and HDG bug only by 10deg increments. Is this issue true? No ALT 100ft adjustments? OR 1° HDG adjustments?

Hi Ray, it will cost me around 600 EUR to have the Fulcrum delivered to my home. It will take 4 weeks. I will definitely consider it, but for 100 EUR less I can have both HC Alpha and Bravo... So it is a hard decision. Max

Hey Ray, thanks. I had spotted that unit. Seems solid and very robust, almost pro sim level. May I ask your experience about it? Price is quite high, but what worries the most is that they say there is delay for shipping due to order backlog.

Hi guys, I'm Max I fly from Rome, Italy on FS2020. I'm an old (well not that much, I'm 51 actually) simmer, starting to fly Flight Simulators since the 80s when they were just some vector graphics and a few colors. I fly mainly DCS with an x56, but i'm now happily taking on FS2020 and I would like to make a better experience out of it with a solid Yoke/throttle system. I recently bought a Logitech Yoke but I'm not very happy with the pitch accuracy and the center detent "click" so I'm returning it. I have alternatives and I'm asking your opinion and advice: - Honeycomb Alpha: very bulky but I read nice reviews, and it comes with start-up switches. It has no central detent and it is said to be very accurate and smooth even though is stiffer than the Logitech in pitch. Throttle not included. - Turtle Beach Velocity: it comes with a throttle, still steep price tag. It comes with push-pull Cessna throttles and a very nice trim wheel. - Honeycomb Bravo: very nice throttle, complete set for GA and liners. Very nice trim wheel and it also comes with AP panel. Questions: 1. What yoke should I get based on your experience/opinions? 2. Do you know if the Velocity has center detent "click" (I really don't like it) and for me it's a no go 3. AFAIK, the Bravo throttle AP knob is adjusting ALT only by 1000ft increments and HDG bug only by 10deg increments. This is an issue, if this is true it's a show stopper for me, at this price level I should get fine adjustments. Comments and advice welcome! Thanks Max
