Admin side - took a very long time to receive it from shipping. I will give credit that their customer service did answer me when I inquired.
The base is super cool; but still seems like it has a lot more untapped potential. The build quality and look are top notch.

It is a solid unit for the price. Only downside is the click of the gear selection is loud but it is not a deal breaker.
The base is heavy and rigid, and it gives quiet an immersive feeling pending on the game/simulator used. I play it with DCS, and it has this option to additionally extract data from DCS to emulate vibrations and such. Here I found that some of these effects are quiet exaggerated and I had to fine tune them. I know that DCS is also not the easiest simulator to deal with, but I'd recommend to then not offer this effects than have the stick wack you out of nowhere while you fly in otherwise calm air with the autopilot on.
Since I can fix it myself, I can recommend this for everyone who can afford it. However, for 5 stars, that could have been ironed out more first, but I wouldn't be suprised if others are struggling with this too!

I enjoy the base a lot and I am happy to have bought it. Unfortunately, not allof the desired effects at this moment. This, despite many hours of troubleshooting by myself and Moza support. The support staff has been very good and responsive to my requests to date. Missing effects include elevator droop, helicopter effects, gunfire etc.

So far so good, haven't been able to fully test it do to still waiting on the grip but i made it work with a unsupported grip just to test it in flight. It still doesn't work with winwing grips so i hope they can get that to work seeing it can take a 6 pin connector, the help settings still don't work fully but i see them putting out updates frequently so I'm sure in time they will over all good by so far.

I have two simulator rigs, one for racing and one for VR flight simulation. Both now have force feedback and haptics. I did not understand how much of a difference and immersive the Moza AB9 FFB base would make. From DCS jets, helicopters, and warbirds to MSFS 2020 and now 2024, the enjoyment and immersive feedback is truly a game changer and I can never go back to a base without FFB. Simply amazing!

I haven’t been exposed to FFB too much in my years of gaming, but I’m glad they were able to bring it back. It is a whole other level of immersion to flight simming. The only downside is the software is still being developed, but it works well enough to truly enjoy the experience and they are constantly working to improve it. My advise if you do purchase this is to join the discord channel. The community has been absolutely great and there is a lot of knowledge there to be shared. I don’t regret this purchase and I haven’t heard too many people that have either.

Force feedback is great, and strength is enough as well, The software feels unfinished, would be great to have support for 3rd party grips, lots of issues with Virpil, cannot even set axis as buttons because it lights up a bazillion buttons when you touch axis on the grip. I have a problem with tightening Mongoose to the base, very little space to get a nice grip with the hand to tighten the nut. mounted without issues to Monstertech plate from Virpil base. Absolutely tank of a build feels sturdy. Was hoping for more frequent updates and further development of software, but it literally stopped almost as quick as the Base has been released. So not really optimistic if it even gets future compatibility with future titles. Would absolutely buy it again even if it works only for DCS.

Its a decent product but they claim it to be universal fit although it is not. It does not fit my winwing fa-18 grip.

The MOZA AB9 is a real game changer for flight sim enthusiasts. Feeling the force feedback and telemetry data makes it so much more immersed flying a helicopter, warbird or jet. And sometimes even easier correcting the plane in time because of the force feedback input.
I can highly recommend the AB9 because of immersion, build quility and overal performance.
Love FFB effects and feeling when flying CFS and MSFS. I would like to have FFB on War Thunder and IL2-sturmovik too. Base even without FFB is better than most bases with springs, because it's superior accuracy in control. More premade setups would be great. It would be great too, if some basic extenders (example 5cm/2inch or 10cm/4inch) would be in the package with the base. That's because the base is so big, it won't fit well between my legs and when I install it low, stick has limited movement between my legs. AB9 is well made and beautiful. When the base will have full support in most sims, I will give it five stars.
