just a question
I have the basicest of basic sticks, logitech attack 3, does having something like ch gear make all that much difference and if so could you please elaborate for me so i can make up my mind to lash out the big bucks for this stuff.
thanks in advance

I think so. Just had a Saitek X52 before, but got CH Flight Pedals and Track IR for Chirstmas. Strafing runs are a bit harder, but overall my gunnery has gotten better because I'm not accidentally applying rudder with my twisty stick.

Rudder pedals probably helped me the most, but some guys around here kick butt with just a mouse  :lol. To be perfectly honest, for the past week since I got this JS and thottle I've been fumbling around trying to remember where everything is. I want to hit flaps and gear goes down. Or try to zoom in and clipboard pops up  :furious Been playing for a couple years with the X52 and in the heat of the moment, forget I have whole different setup now.
It just struck me as funny that I get that Pm when I don't think I've sucked this bad in awhile  :lol

The advantage for me in getting the "more then basic" stuff is that I like to have as many controls at my fingertips and not have to use the keyboard.It's handy and I do spent alot of time online so I want to be comfortable doing what I enjoy.  :salute

CH  >  everything else.

Phatzo,  if you do have the cash it is worth it in the long run,  this stuff won't break easy and should last a life time.  Some people have had it for 10 years or more still working.

and yes it does make a difference IMO.  it is bordering on cheating against someone with a logicrap stick.

question.

Is the ch gear more stable than say  saitek as far as gun platform is concerned? I get quite a bit of bounce compared to some of the guys using ch gear in the films I have seen posted by some of the old pros.

well the sticks cant really be judged on gun platforms some planes are easier than others,

but lets say the CH stick axises are very accurate and can be calibrated/scaled very precisely.  The stick has two moving parts rather than a 3d ball spring in the base,  so elevator and aileron movement don't conflict each other unintentionally. Without the twist there are also no rudder inputs when you don't want them.

I got no problems with my X52 honestly, I got it set so that rudder only comes in when i twist a certain amount but it also doesnt go right to 100% rudder, just take some time setting it up in game :salute

Yes having a joystick helps and im sure all the othe gadgets do too :)

I just use my mouse, N50 and perhaps better SA than most. Due to lack of the other stuff i simply have to have excellent SA to survive in the skies.
