Ehhh....

I could get rid of the $20 Thrustmaster for something nicer....

But I like my Thrustmaster. I'll hang onto it until it dies.

Then maybe I'll buy this.  :)

:lol  true...but i don't know of many consumer electronics that aren't. my problem with madcatz is that they made a lot of knock off junk for consoles and i wouldn't be surprised if that same quality was put into the saitek sticks.

I love my x52, but it was purchased just before Madcatz bought them out.  I like the look of the new stick, looks to me like a poor man's warthog, but I'm really concerned about their quality now.  I remember seeing some of their console stuff in stores and it really was unimpressive to me.

I'm definitely waiting on reviews of the new one before I consider it as a replacement for my current one, which is still working close enough to fine after 7 years or so.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Well Joe from Saitek just called me back and the deal is this... I must use the setup on 3 different flight sims and get an overall feel for the controller.I am to give feedback overall on the stickand give the info to Saitek so they can fix anything via software or hardware. They want me to tell the the good bad and the ugly..

So lets see what 3 sims do I have...

Flight Simulator X..... great real world sim...

X wing... too many plane I have downloaded to get rid of it....

Rise of Flight... ehhh so so

I know I have one more flight sim I could use this on... but i can't remember what it is called... Dueces Low???? 9's middle????



Ohhh I know ... Aces High... LOL

Ohh so you gents and Semp kniow I will be paying for this just like you will.. (But getting it earlier)
