Thrustmaster is also releasing a new stick - it's a replique of the A-10 HOTAS. That's basically all info available, not even if it's designed after A-10A or A-10C, but it definitely sounds more promising than the X65f |
I sure agree, the force sensing seems like a real weird descision. Sat in an F-16 (Block 52) once and the stick sure moved a bit unlike the early models with stiff sticks that where not too popular among the pilots... Why copy that misstake?
