Looking at the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar to replace my X52. Anyone got any opinions?

Not used the one you mentioned but we have a Saitek Cyborg Evo (something like that) and it's very good and isn't too pricey. Lots of buttons, can be customised to your hand size and pretty comfortable to use. Also very good build quality.

search is back, so use it to search for x52 in this forum, you'll find a thread asking just about the same question

Cougar is expensive and not just from the inital cost from what I read.

Just bought a mint condition Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2.

Love it.

I thought the X52 was the joystick. Why do you wish to replace it with another model? Are there areas it can be improved upon as a flight controller? I'm interested as I'm in the market for a decent controller as my FSX is forever expanding.
