Really getting into this. But heard its more realistic and fun if you use a joystick.

Been looking at the CH products of joysticks. Really like the look of the flightstick and fighterstick.

I do have the money for a fighterstick even though they are expensive, but which one would you recommend for a beginner?

Thanks :)
 
Might be just as well with something like the Saitek x52, comes with a throttle too. :)

I've got Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar, for when I finally get round to setting up FSX, however its probably wayyyyy ott and more of a project on its own lol.
 
If you are flying GA stuff or the Boeings it would probably be better using a flight yoke. I have the CH Products one but think the newer Saitek one looks better. For fighter jets/Airbus that actually use a stick then the x52 sounds like a good bet.

I use an old SideWinder joystick as I don't have the desk space to plug in the yoke.

And yes, get a TrackIR. I haven't mine tweaked to my liking yet but I do already like it.
 
Saitek x52 pro looks very good. Same price as a CH fighterstick but with a throttle. Reviews say the x52 is a really good piece of kit, does anyone else on here have one? Sounds tempting, shame its not in stock with OCUK at the moment.
 
Hi guys got my x52 pro joystick.

Got to say it looks great! I just need to know how to used the SDK to program certain buttons for FSX. Anyone have any idear how to do this it looks quite hard and i dont know were to start.

For example i want to use the top hat switch for trim ect, but how do i assign this in the profiler to work in FSX?

Any help would be great

Thanks :)
