The way I looked at it is wanting a new flight sim experience in general, rather than spending all this money just for CoD. In reality, CoD is what drove me to buy the new gear. In some crazy chance that I end up hating the game when it comes out, at least I know I'm still going to have a stellar experience playing IL-2, or something from DCS, or whatever strikes my fancy.

The warthog hotas is nice, but it seems overkill to me at $500 for the average flight simmer. I ended up with the CH Hotas setup including pedals which was a smidge over 300 total and sprung for TrackIR 5 with the Pro Clip. All together I spent around 500 which was just the cost of the warthog without pedals. I normally wouldn't have spent that much on gaming at once, but I had worked a ton of overtime last pay due to snow and had the money to spare.

The point I'm making is it's not like the equipment you're buying is only going to work with CoD. It's going to make youre experience better with any sim you fly, and because of that, I think it's worth the investment if you're into sims as much as most of us are.

Not sure of your location, but i ordered the CH Combat Stick and Throttle from Amazon UK and it arrived within the week (free postage too)

CH Throttle and Pedals are out for delivery from my order with Amazon. Fighterstick from TD is still pending just like your stuff, roy. I don't know what the problem is, but frankly I'm thinking TD is full of bologna. Especially with the quickness that Amazon got my stuff shipped.

Thought about canceling my TD order and getting it elsewhere, but I hear that they can't seem to do that correctly either.
After losing my cool with them via e-mail, they finally gave me a correct tracking number for the thrustmaster joystick i bought/shipped to my buddy. Why the correct one was different than the one in the e-mail they sent me I have no idea. Never shopping TD again

Here's hoping you get your shipping notification tomorrow. You've been waiting far too long.

I contacted CH and they dont know why is it taking so long either.Maybe they are not in stock.Anyways they should notify me what exactly is happening.Im really upset.

Edit*Went to check the status of my orders, and after 2 weeks one of them got canceled.Im so freaking pissed!!
