Go CH Products. @ Provantage.com, you can pick up Fighterstick, Pro throttle, and pedals right at the $300 mark
You forget where he said he wanted a dual throttle.
SilverZ06, if you are willing to do without you could get an
X52 (which comes with a stick and throttle) for $80 or so from amazon, a set of pedals for $100 and be all set for under $200. Later on if you don't like the X52 stick you can get a CH stick and still use the throttle from the X52 and still stay under $300 (and have a spare stick in the closet just in case). Sure I can see how someone might prefer the CH stick over the X52 stick, but I see no benefit to having the CH throttle over the X52 throttle aside from having a "matching set" if that's important to you.
Wanting dual throttle limits the options a lot though. Aside from using a "
Throttle Quadrant" your are stuck with
three mainstream options:
-TM Warthog.. which is going to be WAY over budget
-Saitek X65.. which again is over budget (but not by much)
-Logitech G940...
As far as the G940 goes... I can't recommend you buy it new. Find an inexpensive used unit (there are many out there) and plan on doing some modding to it. You're likely going to need to replace the wiring in the throttle (the wiring breaks in all of them) and maybe even mod it like I did to get any kind of precision out of it. $300+ is way too expensive to pay for flawed hardware from a company who offers no support whatsoever about it. Their attitude is that if it is under warranty they will send you a new one. If not then you're out of luck. Many people have gone through several units because of the throttle wire issues and have simply given up bothering to warranty it anymore. It might be different if Logitech showed any desire to actually fix the problems, but they don't. At least not publicly. And the 'newer revision' units are just as bad as the originals so if you go that route do so at your own risk. It's a shame too.. could have been a great stick! And this doesn't even touch their hysteresis issues.
