Hotas Recommendations
« on: Today at 03:52:57 PM »
Working on getting back in game, and my current hotas (x52 from saitek) wont connect to windows 11 (driver issue), so I'm thinking its way too old kinda deal

What recommendations do we have, games will be a lot of flightsims, as I dont play anything else pretty much.

Thanks,

Wurzel

I like Virpil but it is a bit expensive. Many love their VKB Gladiators etc...

I have VKB pedals and like them a lot. Mine do not have toe brakes which is no biggie for me.

Or is anyone aware of a programmable software that will allow me to use the throttle portion in the meantime.

Appreciate the info AKIron

X52 should be fine with W11 though I did need to install the drivers/software for it to work properly that I can recall. Didn't need to use the software, though.

I'd recommend vkb, they also offer free shipping now I believe which was a large expense prior. I have the Gladiator NXT, STECS Standard, and Mk 4 pedals.
