Gotta agree with the CH comments. Basically the 1st and last HOTAS you'll ever have to buy..

And is that a Gibson SG I see before me?;-)

You better put some armed guards by that window! ;)

lol no. That's at a server farm. If I had a 1gbps connection at home, I'd probably never leave :)

Yes it is. Good ol' SG standard. Now if I could only play like Angus :D.

The Antipodeans do things differently. Just ask Skoshi.:grin:

Well I'm glad I didn't get the saitek stuff as I've just bagged a 4month old G940 for just over £120 delivered

Happy days

Well done Ze-Jamz. I did own both the X52Pro and the G940 and the Logitech is a much better setup and has FFB to boost. Very nice in IL2 and I think it'll be nice in COD, too.

The G940 had to go, when I got the Warthog for DCS-A10C, but as you're flying COD exclusively, it is a very good choice.

Hey Phat,

Like I said in my earlier post, I've considered the mod for a long time, but as I really don't have that much sloppiness now (or, at least still the stock sloppiness) I haven't really felt the need to spend the time on doing the mod. Would you really recommend it?

Definitely, its quick and easy but only applies to the stick with its hall sensors. Eliminates any 'centrepoint' dead zone, it flows right through. Whether or not there is a 'deadzone' and having a sloppy stick due to spring weakness are two different things. My stick was very heavy when I got it but its nice and easy now.

My only beef is I can't find replacement switches nor the pots for the Throttle which, like any stick, wear out after some time. I've had my X52Pro for about 6 years and the rudders for about 4. One stick switch went 'sticky' about a year ago but has cleared up now. The X Rotary on the throttle has a worn centrepoint, too much elevator trimming :(

I would consider buying top CH stuff but I can't afford it.
