That's the forum i'm in all the time. And if you would take a look at how many of those guys really have a dead throttle and then substract the number of guys that said before they would never buy a TM hardware again and suddenly end up with a Warthog at its release (or before its release ) and then immediatly have the same problem and then substract the number of people that got a dead throttle after the firmware, you'll be down to maybe 5 and most of those only registered because of that problem.

I got the Warthog after reading all those complains to see if those guys are right and if the Warthog is really so bad like those guys say and so far, apart from the slightly too strong spring (which could easily be fixed by myself if i wouldn't be so lazy..), i have no complains whatsoever and the throttle is definately the best throttle around for this price (in the ->300 € price range).

With all due respect guys,since the warthog is out of my budget,please dont go that way with the discussion.Aesthetically it looks really great,but it is too damn expensive for me.I wish CH made something similar but resembling a WW2 fighter stick like the P-51's or 109's.I dont like so many buttons on the stick, although they come in handy.We WW2 flightsimmers are a hard to please.

May a 109 get at your 6 and empty its cannon shells on you for teasing me with that gear.

I just hope the Saitek X-65F twin throttle was tested with CoD, for some reason it does not fully recognise the new twin engined bomber in RoF nor does it for ED DCS BS and FC2, fine in FSX and other sims with twin engines though.

Wonder too if CoD will support individual toe brakes?

I bet it will.Doesnt Il-2 1946 support it?

Im not a fan of those RAF sticks, but for reality sake,AWESOME!!!A lower quality version of their products would get the attention of a lot of people.We love WW2 warbirds yet we fly with F-16 sticks.Those guys should be admired for producing that kind of gear.
