I get a kick out of some of the functions available for this stick. Mind blowing stuff I'd have never thought of!
Man, completely agree, I was just thinking precisely the same thing today when messing around with it. Such a fantastic stick, it truly is. Solid, very solid construction too, sure it isn't metal like the TM F22 stick, but it's as close to as tough as those as it can be not being metal itself IMO.
TM has shown their new F18 stick for the Warthog at E3 this week, going to be interesting sticking one of those in the Gunfighter and Virpil T50 bases, with the new Hornet module recently out. Heh, good times this summer.
Anyhow, I NEVER thought I'd find a replacement stick for Aces High which would supplant my Fighter and Combatsticks from CH, I've long held that the CH sticks were perfect for this game, in terms of the constant and rapid movements required. The Gunfighter sticks we have, have pushed our CH products stuff to the Hotas collection table, something I never, ever thought I'd see happen, not after nearly 20 years of using CH for this game. While obviously there is a massive cost disparity (ya, only 3 or 4x the cost difference, heh), if money is no object, the Gunfighter Mk2 is the perfect stick for this game IMO, leaving the stock springs and cams in it to boot. I did try the lightest springs, but they are TOO light, like 2x lighter than the CH products feel, and I went back to the standard/factory installed springs in both our Gunfighters, and once the grips come into stock so I can get a grip for the new in box Gunfighter Mk1 I picked up from Ebay, I'll be running stock springs/cams in it as well for AH3.
