I've got the Thrustmaster Hotas X, it's affordable, has options on the throttle aswell as sticktwist for rudder.

Some people say it's not very precise and has a large dead zone, well i think that is a bit exaggerated. But not totally untrue.

It's 49,99 euro

Now i just want TrackIR, but it's just too damn expensive. *looking into Freetrack possibilities.

No money: Keyboard. Look for another hobby.

Bit of money: CH Hotas, last forever, does not look like you're a nerd when it sits in your living room. All bussiness.

Money: Saitek Proflight X65F. Nice kit but hide it when you have visitors. Right of the starship Enterprise. Nerd Alert!

Stupid money: Warthog Hotas. For those of us that don't give a damn. You know it cost's way too much and you should've known better after 2 broken Cougars. Still, it's the best Hotas money can buy of the shelf. You can tell visitors that you tore it out of a real A10. Mucho Macho!

The CH stuff will never break and will become heirlooms. Keep em around for when the Warthog breaks. You'll buy another Warthog but need the CH stuff for the weeks it takes the new Warthog to get to you. Did I tell you the old Cougar units make great paper weights and conversation objects?

So it's real simple CH if you're frugal and want quality. Warthog if you want the best and money is no object.

I’m using TM Warthog with CH pedals. So far no complaints with Warthog, I cannot imagine anything better. Had the CH pedals for years, had to replace one of the pots. The only complaint I have with pedals is spring tension is too weak.
