Flight controls

Postby D. Miller » Mon Feb 15, 2010 2:21 am

I have been sucked into this game and now want to make the step from just a joystick to now a throttle box.

I have the Saitek X52 Pro and the Saitek Rudder pedals and I love them!! :)

It's not the top dog in flight sticks anymore, but it's a very good 'bang for your buck'.

if i might offer a suggestion... granted it may be a bit pricey at first but leave plenty of growing room....


Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System - http://store.gameshark.net/PRO_Flight_Y ... k/3273/176

Throttle Quadrant - http://store.gameshark.net/PRO_Flight_T ... k/3276/176

then save up for the ProFlight Switches - http://store.gameshark.net/Pro_Flight_S ... k/3395/176

or the Radio Panel - http://store.gameshark.net/PRO_Flight_R ... k/4540/176



stack them all together for the ULTIMATE flight yoke/switches/radio set up anywhere.

.......stack them all together for the ULTIMATE flight yoke/switches/radio set up anywhere.


The "ultimate" stuff is made for the simpit type market...... and unfortunately is in a completely different price bracket.  Some stuff is basically indistingusihable in look, scale, and feel from the real items.

best,
