About Flapp'n time some one brought out a FFB HOTAS set.

I hope they don't use those crappy pots that die with in the first 5 min of opening the box.

At least the stick uses hall-sensors, so I guess that won't be the problem with this release

That depends on the user, I guess, because I can:

Agreed that IL2 does not support split-throttle, but I can still make use of it, by assigning prop-pitch to the second throttle! Or maybe flaps, trim, etc.


And then, IL2 doesn't support it, because it was designed with a main focus on single-engine fighters and fighter-bombers to be controlled by the player. Looking at the bombers in BoB, I have no doubt that the SoW-Engine will support split-throttles.

This is great for us consumers as now at least there are options (and competition) out there.
I use the Evo FFB stick, saitek pedals, and X52 throttle (with 52stick as an extra for landing etc). I love the FFB effects, and couldn't imagine flying without it now.
Since bolting everything down into place in a home made cockpit, I've realised how limited and handicapped it is trying to use your stick when just sitting on a desk. It frees you up immensely, so if you haven't already...bolt your stick to something!!!
I like the more millitary look, and possibly the ability to use the split throttle for prop pitch.
Now lets see what the competitors do.
I would also like to see the FFB introduced into the throttle and rudders. This would be amazing!
