Nice! How do you get on with the Charlie pedals? I will pull the trigger on a Alpha and Bravo in April and I'm considering them to complete the set, although I am leaning towards Winwing's Orion rudders at the mo. If my overtime comes in I may get the Winwing hotas at the same time.
The Charlie's are pretty damn good! They are very accurate and it's easy to modulate. Makes flying rotor wing much easier.

Though the caveat on this is my only point of comparison is the TM TFRP. Which are so bad I unbound the rudder axis and only used them for toe-brakes.

A few reviews have noted they are a bit noisy in use, is that something you've picked up on?

I suppose that does depend on if you have got earphones for your VR setup!

They do seem fairly sizeable too. On the plus side definitely easier to get hold of the Charlie's and least I know what I'll pay for them, unlike the winwing stuff...

Noisy? I have never even noticed. They have a very satisfying mechanical feel too them, so I guess maybe???

Are people playing in silence? I do VR as well, and sound is on speakers. I rarely do headphones for games anymore as I have my man-cave so I don't need to worry about disturbing anyone else.

Tbf, as good as the Charlie pedals are, it's the Bravo throttles that's are the actual star of the show. Customizable is the name of the game.

In a Cessna 172 with only throttle and mixture? Sound. In an ATR with power levers, condition levers and fuel control. Sorted. 2 engine jet, 3 engine jet, 4 engine jet all good.

It has removable handles. GA/turboprop, general(Boeing) jet with thrust reversers and then you can buy Airbus handles for their jets (though they ask work just fine with the included handles).

Good to know you don't have an issue with the Charlie's. Makes me less worried if I take the plunge.

Think you are right though, the bravo is the real deal. Looking forward to using them and the customisation they bring. The airbus handles with the detents look pretty cool for immersion into that world and I will be getting the trim wheel cover seen here:

I've been waiting for my Airbus handles since September. They are still on back order. Nowhere in NZ has them in stock
 

Not a huge surprise given how many delays there have been


Mixture of sad/glad. Glad cos at this late stage it wouldn't have been any good, and then there would be another version coming in a few months. Sad cos like everyone I was looking forward to this years especially with the move to Unity. I wonder if this means they will be ready earlier, and can release FM26 sooner than the usual date, or if they will just keep it there for Xmas sales. Or even if this plays out well enough in the end they consider going to a 2 or 3 yearly cycle, with just minor and player updates inbetween years?

Also, this made the headlines on ESPN UK website!
