I've had it since AH1 I think but I believe it can be found in Sketchs gunsight pack somewhere in the custom sounds and skins page. He has a link in his sig.

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 have a Saitek av8tor for when I was traveling for work, and a full CH setup at home. The CH is wayyyyyy better.  The scaling is much more precise. I remember when "Fester" first got his CH stuff, I think his comments was something like "smooth as glass". With the Saitek I had a very hard time getting the nose bounce out of it to get it any where near the way my CH stick is. Also I had to scale down the rudder twisty so much it was like flying with half a rudder.

With all the extra buttons available with the CH gear I also find it much easier to keep my SA high, keep track of the enemy I'm fighting, as well as control flaps and throttle in a fight with the CH gear. With the Saitek stick I was far too limited. While looking up left at a bogie (two buttons), I would try to drop flaps (third button), and chop throttle (roller wheel), while trying to maneuver, all on the one stick! just not enough room for two hands in there! With the CH gear everything is split between the throttle and stick. I can fly any kind of mission and the only time my hands leave the stick or throttle is to type.

 My twisty stick went out on my X52 so i started using the thumb rotary for rudder input. It is far more precise in my opinion and I would never go back to the twisty.
I eventually am going to get pedals though.

Nice work! Why is it that being told you are cheating and ruining the game, even though you really aren't doing anything special, makes it so worth while.... :aok

By the way, I love that gunsight too.

One point about equipment, especially sticks, is not to take the word of someone that had had it less than 90 days TOO seriously.  We fall in and out of love with them many times before getting comfortable or deciding we never will.
