I couldn't understand AT ALL how this force sensing system works.
Anyone here can name some aircraft that have this? If by "modern" they mean the F-35 and F-22, maybe they're right.
Something I didn't liked: the design. Will Saitek ever release something that actually looks like a real aircraft's stick?
Going a bit offtopic, if anyone ever releases a joystick replicating any MiG or Sukhoi stick, I would buy it. After a quick but exciting ride on the Su-30 simulator, I just loved that joystick. It takes a short while to get used to it, but after that, I fell in love with it

It has only everything on it. For those who don't have any idea about what I'm talking about, check this pic:

And one big positive point (for me at least) on most Russian sticks: trim on the joystick. No rotaries or anything like that. It's much more practical (and improves your response) to set it with your thumb. You make it much quicker than when you have to use any rotary or something like that. You don't have to get your hands out of the throttle or the stick, just move the thumb and it's done.
