VKB-SIM

Looking for advice on increasing the spring tension and resistance on my MKIII. I have a 200 mm extension and TM warthog stick. I am using two #50 springs on each axis but it is still a little too easy to move the stick for my liking. I know it’s because of the extension and weight of the grip. Are there any heavier or additional springs you can suggest? Thanks, Jason

You're maxxed out, but try to include the dampers in your current combination.

As Fallout says, use the clutches.

One thing I'm not sure of is whether the Mk III bases 'dry' clutches are still 'dry'. I heard somewhere that VKB is now putting damping grease on them. If so, all well and good and ignore the rest of my post.

If they don't and are still dry clutches then to avoid any stiction you might want to put some damping grease between the clutches and the barrels they 'clutch' on to.

I've got the teensiest smear of the inevitable Nyogel 767A on mine and for me I get a nice damping feel from it with the clutches lightly tightened. I should mention I only have #50's and #20's on each axis but then I'm using an MCG Pro Ultimate so it's a lot lighter due to it being aluminium alloy rather than zinc alloy.
