Received my HOTAS X this morning and have to say I am really really pleased. Considering it is a cheap £40 stick, it feels fantastic. If I had to say something negative the only thing I can think of is I would like a couple more buttons/1 more hat switch thingy and the cable that connects the stick and throttle is a tiny bit too short.

Other than that it's an absolute bargain and I couldn't recommend it more! If like me you just wanted to try a stick but didn't want to pay for the more expensive ones, I would say this is perfect :)

Do you have a model for the HOTAS X or a link via trust :)
 
Lifetime expansion for me :)

Here is hoping we get more than 4 DLC before Star citizen comes out and everyone leaves.....
 
I'm taking it it's not out yet, although don't think I have anything powerful to run it.

I'm between going cheaper route and replacing the CPU, or just going sod it and getting an amd piledrive system.

What to do what to do, would cost me ~80 just to get a q9550.

I plan on using mouse+keyboard, for anyone else like me that are completely new to the game I found this handly little guide for familiarising ourselves to the controls. It's going to take some learning!

Looking through their forums some people much prefer plain old mouse+keyboard anyway so don't feel pressured to fork out for an expensive setup before trying it out!

As OcUK staff, go for the big spend. As someone saving for an upgrade themself see my new post in the members market.
