New: Saitek X-65F Pro Flight System.

WOW

Glad I waited. Was going to get the Logitec. Now I might get this instead. Price will be a deciding factor?!? :jump::applause::jump:

Thanks for the HU.

Hmmm. Stick doesn't move at all, just senses force applied. Interesting. :monkies:

I'm old school, I like a stick that moves a bit and pushes back. :icon_lol:
 
The G940 comes with a set of pedals; I have no doubt that the X-65F will cost more than the G940 if you want to get pedals as well.
The X-52Pro is 200 euros here, the G940 300 Euros, a set of saitek pedals alone retails at 149 euros.

Also, the G940 has force feedback, the saitek sticks do not have that.
 
Interesting.... not sure if I could use a stick that doesnt move. Maybe.

Plus it would either need rudder pedals or a twist stick (what I use now) for me to purchase it.

I posted it before elsewhere here in the forum. I'm very happy with my G940, its very accurate, reliable, and cool. No heating issues at all.

This X-65F would really appeal to the fly-by-wire crowd. (Although technically we all fly-by wire :icon_lol: )

No problem here. I have the X52 Pro with pedals. The problem will be getting it past the wife! I can hear it already :blind: "WHATS WRONG WITH THE ONE YOU GOT. IT"S ONLY A YEAR OLD!"

:sigh: :icon_lol:

Hmm...I'll stick with these babies...

Thrustmaster is also doing an A-10C Hotas, so that will replace my F-16 Hotas
 
I want the G940! The stick doesn't move on the saitek? I'm an old dog who doesn't want to learn new tricks in that area!:engel016:

You won't be upset with the Thrustmaster setup. As they say here in America, they're 'Built Ford Tough'

These babies are all metal, and I mean ALL metal. They have great weight, throttle idents, and are aesthetically realistic beyond what a PC flyer would ever need.

You can't go wrong with Thrustmaster, and once you go Thrustmaster, you'll look on to these other 'HOTAS' systems as mere toys, trying to catch up to what Thrustmaster did years ago.
