I just broke down a few days ago and ordered a full ch setup.
Fighterstick
Throttle
Pedals
I read reviews and user comments on all the popular hotas setups, and going ch was a no brainer after a comparison. The following is just my observations after reading many forums and user comments on items.
X52/Pro - Low quality, modding almost required to get a decent functional set.
G940 - really promising, but reversal bugs in the pedals and throttle leave much to be desired. Radio silence on the logitech forum makes you wonder if those issues will ever be fixed at this point. This is what I was looking to get. (full setup on amazon for $239.00)
CH Products - Pricey, but durable. Lasts a long time and no major issues with the hardware. Big modding community to make your gear even better than it (hopefully!) already is. No need to mod the items out of the box.
Now if Amazon and TigerDirect will just get on the ball and SHIP my stuff to me I should be all set to do some real flying by next weekend. I've had IL2 since release in 2001 and have always been a Joystick/Keyboard/Mouse player. This is going to be great
