Default realistic joystick

I use the saitek x52 and find it great, but I wonder is there a 'realistic' stick out there? Or is there one coming? With SOW imagery, I would imagine Saitek or one of the leading makers might take the initiative to get a replicated stick (or two) on the market.

It kind of bugs me that they charge so much for their products...I don't think its reasonable.

$1214 to get the basic set-up? ...and $1865 if you want the throttle too??

That just seems like too much money, I wish they would offer something more reasonable. I just don't see how the development and manufacture cost could justify that kind of price...haven't they heard of outsourcing work to China?

We gave up the idea of adding the development cost to the price of our Universal Base ... It would double it's price ...
It's hand manufactured nearly for nothing , in France . It's a real replica , not a rough copy .
Don't try to compare it to another joystick .
It's the most expensive , yes , but simply the best .
Everyone makes it's choice .
You can content yourself with an ordinary joystick , vaguely accurate . (and buy another one , one or two tears later)
Or buy the ultimate accuracy and reliability ....

Everyone makes it's choice ...
I've done mine , and I'm not the only one .

I am curious to the status of the glider attachment to the universal base, is it out yet?

I'm currently involved in specifying a high level glider simulator for club usage in Denmark (Stewart platform, working panel and collimated wide angle display).

http://www.herningsvaeveflyveklub.dk it's in Danish, sorry

Your products seem to be what we are looking for.

cya around
