Hotas setup for the upcoming Cliffs of Dover

The G940 still has the reversal bug issue with the throttle and the rudder. Also some units overheat after a few hours of use.

If you're getting one of the Saitek's be sure it's from a store near you so you can drive back and exchange it for one without spikey axis.

Im gonna buy the rudder pedals from a local Compusa,the rest from newegg.And those are the issues I was referring to.

Why not buy the CH rudder and throttle controls? I use that setup and with their programing software and profiles found on their website site setting these up is no problem at all.

I've read that the CH pedals have almost no resistance and are too narrow.As for the throttle I like it but its like $50 dollars more.Since you got the pedals, how good is the resistance, and are they wide enough for you?I am a small guy so that might not be a problem, and they are available at the local compusa also.

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.

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?

[Sokol1]

CH throttle quadrant but that would cost me like $50 more

Consider that for U$ 50,00, you are buying 3 more axis, 3 more two way button, excelent programmability of CH Mannager, and a well know CH reability/longevity.
