I only had an hour to mess around with the stick, but I'm happy with it so far. The movement is something that I'm going to have to get used to as far as the x/y axis being independent of each other compared to your "traditional" stick.
The other thing is it's huuuuge. My hand can't sit on the joystick hand rest at the bottom and my thumb reach to the top buttons without lifting my hand up slightly. Not TOO much of a problem considering what those keys are mapped to currently.
The response from the stick in IL2 compared to my old stick brings on a whole new level as far as flying goes. Where my old stick would make my plane bank/dive/climb at the slightest movement, this stick needs a bit more movement to get the same effect. After joy riding around getting a feel for the new stick, I completely smashed my landing gear and skidded to a halt on the runway when landing.
I guess I need more flight time with the new stick  |
hi Blampars,glad your enjoying your gear,can you explain about how the trottle moves as in CH Pro Throttle is the only throttle that slides in a horizontal plane instead of rotating about an axis. so does it push/slide forward rather than move in an arc like the x52? thanks
