Saitek x65

[F19_Klunk]

As some of u probably have understood I am trying to figure out my next move regarding a hotas setup. I have another thread where we discuss the Logitechm but right now I am not sure if this is the way I wanna go, considering some characteristics that doesn't seem right .

I have a few friends with the Warthog and the impression I have from that one is positive but mixed.. The other option I see is the saitek x65 but I haven't read or heard much about this one... it is kind of "special" with the force thihy non moving stick.

could those of you who do have one or have tried it out write your impressions and thoughts about it?

thank you

and if its throttle quadrant can be used seperatly from the joystick, to be specific, if its throttle can be used with a M$ FFB2

(as example, the G940 throttle can not be used seperatly )

the throttle of G940 can be used seperatly, but only after 4.10 version

I think it should be OK to use just the throttle, is is on the X52. although you might have to keep the stick connected to the throttle. (No need with the X52) I turned my stick into a button bay

Probably a misunderstanding, Qpassa: The meant using the throttle without having to connect the stick as well. And this cannot be done: The throttle (and the pedals) have D-Sub 9 connectors to the stick, the stick contains the controllors and connects to the PC with USB... You cannot connect throttle and/or pedals to the PC directly.

Mostly because nobody trusts Saitek to make a product actually worth that amount.

and force sensing is most propably not the best idea for a WWII engine aircraft........
Perhaps ask more in a Jet flight forum
