One thing I dont get: Why do so many recommend the 16000 although it is not a Hotas?!
As I said, the problem is the position. Using the slider to something really dynamic in IL-2, like Prop Pitch, is troublesome with the T16000M slider, and the buttons are really bad to map important controls, they are too near, irregular shape, etc. The keyboard is far better to that.

I, as "so many", recommended the T16000M as PART of a HOTAS solution (the "And Stick" one). People only think about a HOTAS that is sold as a package? Why not to buy a Joystick, a Throttle solution and Rudder pedals? If people stay stuck with closed packages, maybe lost a lot of opportunities.

I use in IL-2 one modded T16000M, a Saitek Throttle Quadrant and "improvised" Rudder Pedals, and can fly as good as an owner of a G940, X52Pro and any other expensive HOTAS solution, maybe even better - in terms of control input, not overall hability, of course... .
