I need a New
« on: May 08, 2012, 09:11:54 PM »
Joystick, preferably a dual throttle joystick, I have had the logitech 3D pro for 6 years, and its still running strong , but i really could use dual throttle control, any recommendations?  :)

Only recently I made a switch to the Warthog and a TrackIR5. It was a real difficult transition, I literally had to same joystick setup with view hats in several games and I used the same CH Fighterstick, pedals and prothrottle for so many years, I forgot when I started with CH stuff (I remember it was analog and it was prior to Win98). Only now am I getting used to the set up, but the road to get there was really bad.

You don't need a dual throttle to be good in the 38, most of the time the asynchronized throttles will just get you in trouble and make you bleed more E than you intended.

Warthog goodness....









The thing is awesome!  Best of all, it weighs something like 14 pounds...  So it pretty much stays put on my desk no matter what.

Dual throttles are nice, but having a throttle quadrant and pedals are even better.
