Atari 2600 HOTAS:



I may end up modding it like the Super Fat King Cobra.  :joystick:


What do you use the extra button for?
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Nothing at the moment but it's nice to have a spare in case the other one breaks.   :)

All CH products, and have had them for years.



Fugi, how do you keep your chair from moving when you use the pedals?

I use a rubber mat for both pedals and chair. :)

I always circle back to CH for AH. I just find that the stick and it's easy resistance free movement is the fastest and most precise for me, in a game where gunfighting and precision/accuracy is of paramount importance.  For other stuff, such as DCS, I usually run my Warthog setup.  I still haven't tried the x55, but I hear good things, and for the price it doesn't seem too bad at all.

I would be so confused I would shoot myself. LOL
I use ch fighterstick (the 2nd one after wearing out the one that I won at the Indy con), ch throttle, and Saitek rudder pedals (my ch pedals got crushed in the truck when I flew from the 18 wheeler)
I am going to have to buy another ch fighterstick as this one is wearing out and the throttle is wearing out now but it is circa 2002 so it is time.

CH trio is my primary.  No trouble in 6.5 years except a dirty pan pot in the throttle a few weeks ago.  Blew it out and it's now fine.  I highly recommend the fighterstick pro-throttle and pedals.  I am not using the programming software because Aces High does it better internally (IMHO).

I recently bought an X-55 Rhino.  I've only used it for a couple of weeks but I really like it.  I'm not so keen on the Saitek's gimbal spring design (joystick) as I've had smoothness issues in their earlier sticks.  We'll see how this one works over time.  I am probably goofy, but I like the programming software for the stick and it works very well in Aces High.
