I have 2X VKB UCM S and 1XVKB UCM L with fitments for the VKB Gunfighter series x2, VKB STECS, Warthog Throttle and the mouse pad + spare screw and mounting brackets for VKB black boxes. Will also throw in a Gunfighter MkIII 20cm extension.

One Gunfighter mount has additional holes where it held an AB9. They are that sturdy.

These are around €130-$165 each. Open to offers individually or ideally all three together at £250. UK based.

Is this any good? I’ve got some flight controls and I loving them but I’ve got joysticks and there obviously not good to use as a throttle so I’m looking for a singular throttle without breaking 50-60$.

Gave up on MacOS support for the Moza AY210 yoke so selling the whole kit (found out after connecting the HW…). The controllers have never been used, so only open box. We have a baby on the way so need to make some space. Would prefer to sell it all at once, available for local pickup in the Bay Area;

Moza MFY Yoke with AY210 base and table clamps
Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant
Honeycomb Charlie rudders

Asking $1000 for the setup

Virpil ACE Flight Rudder pedals w/ Toe Brakes - $300 OBO

WinWing Orion2 Throttle & Base - $350 OBO

WinWing ViperAce EX Metal Stick (w/ shaker kit) w/ WinWing Orion2 Joystick base - $350 OBO

TrackIR 5 + TrackClip Pro - $80 OBO

Also comes with the Foxx mount baseplates for the throttle and joystick base.

Shoot me an offer~~, maybe be willing to part out but want to sell as whole~~. Everything is in working order. I am located in West Pennsylvania, about an hour south east of Pittsburgh.

This is a repost due to address being in previous image.

EDIT: Added Location, added individual pricing. SOLD Everything but the TrackIR 5 and pro clip

Still have a few bits of kit to get rid of now that I'm not flying anymore.

Everything is in excellent condition, and includes the original accessories.

• VKB MCG Ultimate Mk.III with 100mm and 200mm extensions, and Gunfighter Mk.III base - $250
• Winwing MFD Unit 1 - $30 - Sold

Prices do not include shipping. If you're in NJ we could arrange local pickup. Paypal GS only.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like some additional pictures. Fly safe, all.

I know this might be something that has been posted by others or contain some things posted by others. However a few people have commented on my control layout helping them a lot with configuring their own in Mechwarrior 5 Mercs. So I've decided to post my Control Layout to make it easier for everyone to find. I also made some changes to my bindings since the latest update including Vector Jump Jets and I stopped playing with YAML.

First the HOTASMappings.remap code: the file required to edit is located in "C:\Users\ [UserName] \AppData\Local\ [MW5Mercs or MW5Clans] \Saved\SavedHOTAS". Also suggest having the MW5Mercs HOTAS Remapping Documentation available to help should you wish to make any changes. This document works for both Clans and Mercs as does the follow Code I used. I simply added a couple of spaces below the last entry and added the following codes in a text editor (I use Notepad++, it's great for sorting code):

There is a limit to the number of Buttons and Axis Mechwarrior will recognise per controller. And whilst I did include the Z Axis of both sticks (the twist axis) I do not use them.
Then in Game I simply apply the layouts I have in the attatched pictures. I got the blank PDFs from here (Direct Link to the Left Hand Omni and Right Hand Stick). In the layouts I labeled everything according to how Mechwarrior recognises them, JB## = Joystick Button ## / TB## = Throttle Button ## / JH## = Joystick Hat ## / TH## = Throttle Hat ## (pretty self explanitory). I also have the Disembark Mod installed those controls are marked as [Disembark Mod]. Highly suggest for the fun, a little buggy in places but still awesome.

Also a final hopefully helpful note. Be mindful of any other devices you might have plugged in that the game can mistake for a controller and they can cause problems. for example I have a honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, and the axis on the Bravo can sometimes be mistaken for a controller and cause all kinds of crazy in the menus and during game. I just unplug these when playing either Mechwarrior 5s.

Edit: If you want to use this as a guide for a different device to mine. To find your VID and PID open Control Panel (window key and type "cpanel"), right-click on "Devices and Printers" and select "open in new Window" (Just left-clicking will open Microsofts horrible and restricting unfriendly settings window), Find your device and right-click and select "Properties", then navigate to the "Hardware" tab, highlight "USB Input Device" and click the button "Properties", now navigate to "Details" tab and from the drop down menu select "Hardware IDs" and you'll see something like ...VID_####&PID_####.... these are the numbers you are looking for.

Extra Edit: I originally removed the Y-Axis Spring and tightened the Y-Axis dampeners to help hold the Y-Axis in place, however I did find then it was hard to find the center for the Y-Axis as the "detent" bump relies on the spring pulling the cams together. So to recover this "detent" bump I installed the weakest spring I had and tightened the dampener a little more. The throttle will still drift back to center when I let go sometimes. But by assigning as many controls as I have, I don't often need to elt go of my throttle. Check VKB's Quick Guide Video for how to do this and other things.
