Tell me, are the X and Y axis distinct from each other? I mean, is it easy to avoid unintended elevator input when you are rolling the plane and vice versa?

Does it feature variable tension according to speed like MSFFB2 ?
Thank you for posting info. I've been waiting for it.

So, if we forget the force feedback feature, which is not important for many of us, if you compared it to CH Fighterstick, which one is the best?
Which one is more precise, so you can get the best shot?

BTW, I see that it has rudder pedals and throttle as well.
Don't they sell them separately, in case you don't want the pedals for example?

Well, it was unfortunately a long time since I had my trusty old CH Flight stick (it broke down after 10 years of heavy usage) - but I remember it was very exact. It also remember that it was a bit too much "defaulting" to the the four base axis if you understand what I mean. I have tried later versions but they basically feel the same. Sure, if you want the most exact stick it may be a CH stick, but the immersion? As an old IRL pilot I appreciate the stall buffeting more than the minor loss of accuracy caused by vibrations and no spring centering...

I other tests I've read the precision is on par with the CH sticks and better than Saitek and Thrustmaster, especially as it uses expensive Hall sensors and no potentiometers as many of the others use. It sure is more accurate than my old MSFFB2 at least!

Yes, and it feels "wider" in its spectra than the MSFFB2. The only backside is that there is a small deadzone in the middle of the movement. I heard someone that felt this was an immersion killer, but like I said above I actually dont get that bothered by it. It's actually nice to be able to make small aiming "calibrations" without using a lot of muscle I have not investigated the configuration options regarding the "force deadzone" but there may be options for that. No problem for me.

By the way, the precision when aiming for example feels a lot better than the MSFFB2!
