G940 would be a treat for the hardcore

In my experience with IL2 1949 players - many of them used full on HOTAS setups with rudder pedals - pedals make gunnery in WWII sims much more precise (rudder control is critical).

All that is needed is support and guess what - the other "G" product enjoys support in Gran Turismo Prologue - if anything could be considered a more realistic sim than GT5 - it would have to be IL2 - they've already said things like prop pitch and flaps will be controllable - doesn't seem to me it will be getting dumbed down THAT much.

prop pitch will be done automatically. And there are no black outs and redouts. This really is just going to be the Il2 flight engine with some upgrades , a storyline , and incredible graphics. With alot less depth even in simulation mode. you can not control the really in depth "simmy" stuff like fuel mixure and so forth.

BTW rudder pedals are not really a deciding feature considering the rudder axis on the throttle on the ace edge is just as good if not better and more convienient.

LOL - if you have ever tried a decent set of rudder pedals in IL-2, you wouldn't be saying a rudder axis on a throttle was even close to acceptable.

Somewhere on this forum, it was stated that prop pitch and flaps were controllable in sim difficulty settings.

nope , only flaps

The Ace Combat joystick may be worth more now but when it came out it was $90 (that and the game was $150). Not cheap but not bank breaking either.

If you had ever used rudder pedals you would know the difference. The farther travel distance of the rudder pedals makes precise aiming much easier than a rocker switch.
