There is a Messerschmitt 109 stick and throttle and pedals

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.

I have used the full CH setup for years without issues. Fighterstick, Pro Throttle and Pedals.

Personally, I'd say that unless you are going to fly multi engine aircraft exclusively, get the Pro Throttle instead of the Quadrant. It has better placed, and more, buttons.

I want more levers,for me the quadrant is more versatile.Single or twin engine control,mixture,prop pitch, trim.

There was a 2 man company who build high quality spitfire controls.
Unfortunaly one of them died and the company quit production
