Which joystick do you use?

Using the TM HOTAS Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's and the CH Pro pedals here.
Works like a charm, plenty of posibilities.

in my opinion pressure control sticks are appropriate for modern era sims, which are full of modern jets that are using this system in real life, but they are not for a WWII sim.

I have a X52 witch is good for online competitive combat, fast and accurate response.

But having that I did purchased a G940 jut for one reason = Force Feedback

With my X52 I have a fast and accurate experience but with G940 I have a accurate and realistic experience.

Once you taste a good force feedback configuration there no way back, nothing can be compared with feel the wind pass through the wings of your plane, feel the strength of the plane in a turn or twisted in a loop, feel the turbulences going through the clouds.

I think that a force feedback joystick is the best option for a realistic and accurate in WWII simulator experience.

CH products. The 1st and last HOTAS you'll ever have to buy. They are bar none, the most reliable HOTAS ever made. And they have bar none, the best customer service I've ever seen.

My setup is 7 years old and just as good as the day I bought them.

I have the g940 too, have you had any of the spiking issues, I mentioned my slight rudder spike, I did find a dirty fix, just unplug the rudders from the unit and plug it back in, and it stopped my spiking for at the whole day.

I agree, I had the CH range (Still do, including the Throttle Quadrant) but I needed the extra stuff for DCS: A-10C and for once I was really satisfied with something besides CH.

That stick is best described as a rumble stick. It just shakes about when you fire your guns.

Aside from that; avoid this stick at all costs. They have a horrible record of losing their center, stopping working, having bits fall off etc.

Your absolutely right!. This stick sucks ass. I found another one about an hour ago and i forgot i borrowed it from a friend a long time ago. Its not much better but still in a better state than the other one..



I think i have to go save some money for a decent stick...

I fixed the spiking problems my self.

They are caused by a wire that lose his position in the throttle controller, causing problems in a board connector due his movement.

It was in a tutorial on the web about this with pictures but cant remember now ...
