I didn't watch them all but the ones I did were pilots that don't fly flight sims.

They're reacting to the FFB which I'm sure is quite excellent but unfortunately it's the rest of the stick that's quite anemic.

I mean seriously, what kind of lame button layout is that? If you are marketing the console segment than great, keep it simple and looking good through the cellophane packaging but for flight simmers who might actually cough up the money for it you'd think they could have done at least a little bit of market research.

I also notice that it doesn't seem like they kept the whole cheap looking plastic chrome but instead used a cheap looking plastic look.

+1

When I see a comparison to MSFF2, and by pilots that actually fly simulators (what did they test this on in the first place, FSX???) I will take it seriously.

Still - no matter how good it is, for that kind of money I can buy 2 PCs that will run CloD on max settings. And then some!

Look at this listing for a Cessna 172

Now... let me see I could only buy 5 of these joysticks, maybe 2 joysticks and 2 sets of pedals or I could buy a WHOLE AIRPLANE.

About the chance to get some screenshots from the stick configuration software - something like the FFB2 never updated but excellent application - Paccus says:

"The stick does not have any drivers. We completely support the direct X protocol. This means that we actually use the standard drivers from windows. So to configure things, you typically use the control option in your games."

Has anyone actually tried this stick out?

Not sure if I'd ever want to spend that kind of insane money on a single joystick - but I can't help being curious on how this stick performs. I can't find any real reviews anywhere (besides the few videos on their website).
