I know of the Moza stuff but haven't looked too closely. It would be under powered compared to my builds and there was some interesting comparisons between the spec list of the software I use + the Moza stuff but with a couple of months added. The Vpforce Rhino just has stuff feature wise that can be adjusted in software that is still years ahead of the competition (Moza, Virpil, etc + you can get to chat with the developer on Discord. Bloody expensive though once you add up all the bits n pieces. The link below would be equivalent to my build, stronger motors, etc. There is another guy in the Ukraine who has another even stronger joystick, goes under gvl224.com - probably equivalent or a bit ahead of the Moza software wise but 3 times the force!

I do, running a Pimax Crystal Lite with a HP Reverb G2 V2 as backup. Primarily in IL2 but have dipped into DCS on occasion. It's a warren of rabbit holes to bolt down. What sim, what era, what controllers, VR or not, FFB or not 😜

I've motorised the rudder pedals since these photos taken.

I actually really want to add FFB to my original Stork joystick

The F50/1.7 or Spad's Thrustmaster Hog?

While I don't have a simpit, I do regard flightsimming as an equally expensive hobby (both time and monetary wise) that competes with my photography. I'll have to combine the two and do a photoshoot of the various bits and pieces 🙂

Is that a Virpil stick I see???
Indeed you do. It's the joystick converted to a throttle. Thats my space sim setup. They were made obsolete in the last few weeks by the CTD-Aeromax. I have something far more serious for my warbrds 😉

Seems to be a bug, I lost everything from (£ onwards). Weird. Price was 1400, which considering it had less than 50 clicks on the shutter seemed reasonable.

Nice one Robbie

I wish people would stop posting images taken with the K3III Monochrome - I can't afford one and I don't want one (one of these statements is a lie! )
I just got it into my head that I wanted to try Monochrome and a few came up on Mpb for what I thought was a good price (

No one ever mentioned that the SMC Pentax-F 50/1.7 was such a starburst monster. Taken here with the K-3iii Monochrome.

I paid 289 GBP shipped from one 'foreign' country to another foreign country so you're not getting stung. It also means I have almost the full set of macro ranges for the K mount.. 35, 50, 100, 150, 200 with some potential fillers at 90 (Tamron), 105 (Sigma, Kiron, Vivitar) and I think 180 (Voigtlander).

That's what I'm thinking, too.

But we won't believe it's a real macro lens until we see some real macro photos of little thingies!
