The hydraulic force feedback joystick was a promising prototype, that showed up at the 2009 Gamescom:

IMHOP, the joy itself looks terrific! Hope to get more news on this new piece of hardware soon:

Enjoy!

I can´t agree more with you, regarding the sound! More than gay, I would say it's a Trekky gay joy! ;o) Those two 'reactors' look pretty similar to Enterprise spaceship's ones, don´t they?.

Never saw that before! Interesting.

Regarding the force sensing interpretation for SoW, it would obviously only apply to force sensing sticks (like Saitek XF-63 or whatever it's called) and never to any other type. But it really would make a major difference in realism/experience, and is not a complicated concept at all for implementation.

At Ubi's,

you can find more info concerning this joy. In short, 2 models, Falcon (no hydraulic effect) and Hawk (the one on the videos). Expected retail prices: 279$ and 389$ respectively. Expected release date: Sept. 2010, Ubi's Il-2 Moderator T_O_A_D dixit from a direct talk to Paccus people.

IMHO for that price the hydraulic effect has to be something from the outer space! And even then, given my 109 is absolutely earhtly, it will be a bit too pricey yet.

The problem: I'm always too curious about this sort of hardware, my two MS SWFFB2 are too close to retirement and Logitech G940 is, so far and IMHO, a bittersweet symphony given what you can read about it on this site and the web.
