The Thrustmaster AVA - Unboxing and First Impressions!
Hello and welcome back to the channel. My name is Sport and today, I will be doing my very first product review of the new Thrustmaster AVA joystick base. Now in the spirit of full disclosure, Thrustmaster sent me this base a few weeks ago to feature in a video and to review on my own time. I have no official connection with Thrustmaster, and they made no expectations as to what I could and couldn’t talk about, so I will do my best to give a fair and objective first impression. In fact there were so little expectations, a friend reached out to me and said “hey do you want to review this?” and two weeks later, I had the package sitting on my front doorstep.
In this video, we’ll do a quick unboxing of the Thrustmaster AVA base, take a look at the internals of it, and take it for a quick lap around an aircraft carrier in DCS World, to get some first impressions!

I don't post nearly as much as I want to, or should, but when I do it'll be mostly of Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), a full-fidelity combat flight sim with study-level replications of combat aircraft ranging from WWII to today. I'm always open to feedback and requests and hope you enjoy the content!

    “But I get shot down before I drop half my ordinance”. I feel personally attacked haha. I’ve been struggling hard on ECW. My first foray into PVP. I get shot down every time I fly. Been a struggle. Love the A-4 mod though. Great little jet.

    Well… first of all, I like your workbench. And that is a very well put together review, not only for the great production, but the information presented. Well done! It seems Thrustmaster have hit a home run with this base.

    @the88tench3 19 днів тому

    Nice video! Will a 3D printed stick extension that fits a standard warthog base fit this new base, and will the base fit onto a standard warthog base mounting plate for monstertech desk mounts?

    • @SportDCS
      @SportDCS 19 днів тому

      Yes, this is fully backwards compatible with all Warthog accessories and mounting options

    • @the88tench3
      @the88tench3 19 днів тому

      @@SportDCS Awesome! I will probably consider this then to be an upgrade to my standard base at some point! The extension I have has an inbuilt angled design to offset the angle of the grip slightly. Wish they'd make an affordable FFB base or upgrade to this down the line, given their experience with FFB racing wheels, that would be awesome!

    I flew the A-4E in SE Asia. We never used a computer release system for standard iron bombs. There was one for special weapons that we seldom used and never in normal bombing missions. We bombed using the Mark One Mod O eyeball.
