Hotas setup for the upcoming Cliffs of Dover

[David198502]

i have the ch fighterstick now for about one month!i can really recommend it!!!before i bought it,i also asked here in the forum about opinions.it really helped me in making a decision.everything the members here told me about the stick was true.
as i think to know, the combat stick is the same as the fighterstick without the hat switches.the stick is really precise and fits perfect in hand.even after several hours nonstop gaming it still feels comfortable.and the other big plus is, that it really seems to be undestroyable.its built really solid.im really happy with it. for the other devices i cannot tell about, as i dont have them. but i consider to buy the trhottle and pedals from ch, as this company convinced me with its stick.

I have a CH fighterstick,CH pedals,and a Saitek throttle quad!
I cannot fault the fighterstick or pedals (apart for the pedals being narrow) I have had them for years,and they still work and feel like new.
The Saitek throttle quad,while a good concept,feels very flimsy,and one of the levers is malfunctioning,and does not register full movement anymore.

Did you have any problems mapping it?And what joystick were you using with the throttle?

No problems whatsoever (only used it with IL2, WoP and RoF). I really liked it alot, even though it does feel a bit too plasticy for its price.

But if it didn't have that spiking problem, i would still use it for some axes atleast. The concept is excellent, three levers and a few buttons, plus the ability to attach it to your table and combine multiple units. Too bad that the quality doesn't live up to that.

I used the FFB2 with the X52 throttle and Simped pedals.

I've replaced the FFB2 and X52 throttle with the Warthog in november. I can recommend both the FFB2 and the X52 throttle aswell, both worked very well for me.

Until your unit fails/has a problem.

CH hardware almost never fail.
Only negative side is:
CH Pro throttle has almost no resistance.
CH Rudder pedals are small and low resistance.

What i got from reading alot of forums:
G940: overheating issue, hat problem (flimsy?) , throttle die , some part of the throttle causing spike (there is a community fix for that, remove some screw), some problems with the rudder.

Warthog: Alot of throttle's DIE , problem with joystick centre.

Saitek: Pots wear out quick.

In the past 9 years I had to repair my MS FFB2 once, a part had ruptured which resulted in a sloppy feeling. So I bought another that was broken with almost the same defect and used the good part. I love the stick but still I feel the quality isn't what it could have been.

I have two saitek three axis throttles and I concur with the bad quality of the pots. However I used some contact spray and the problems are almost gone. The rest I have compensated with adjusting filtering.

I'm building my own pedals out of heavy wood and car parts and use the internals of the other MS stick for the signals.

I know how forcefeedback affects the whole experience,thats why I got my current joystick.But it seems that it is a compromise with precision.Until some brand makes a reliable and precise ffb joystick I'll stick with non FFB.

What I read in reviews seems to be true for the CH stuff.CH sticks seem to be superior than the rest.Thats good.

More points for CH

For the guys that have agreed on the narrowness of the CH pedals, are you tall,small?

[JG52Uther]

I am 5'10 ,and average build.To be honest I find the CH pedals fine to use,but think cramped Bf109 rather than spacious P47!

[Royraiden]

There should be fine for me then.Well so far the setup will be:
-Combatstick 568
-CH Rudder Pedals
-???????
I want the CH throttle so bad but damn it so expensive.
