Post by: SUBS17 on June 02, 2009, 11:42:04 pm
This would be good for flying Hornets.

That New system looks sooo sweeeet  :o 8)
The force feed back would be a nice addition
Unfortunately all the money I could Ear-mark for simming controls has
already been spent on a Saitek set of pedals and X-52 Flight system :P
It will be very interesting to see an unbiased trial of this system
when it becomes available
Thanks for the link Subs 17

Yeah it would be nice to use the throttle for sims like the FSX acceleration Hornet, VRS Superhornet or Lockon which all feature split throttle axis. I have a couple of suncom Hotas which I plan on one day converting to USB but I have to get some new Hall sensors for it of course this new Hotas might save me the trouble of doing that although I prefer a throttle with a realistic height to allow fine movements for formation flying.

Unfortunately FSX doesn't have a good/realistic FF support like lockon:flamming cliffs (includes realistic trimming) or IL-2 (not realistic trimming though). But it exists fs-force for FSX, a 3rd party software that tries to enhance the realism and immersion of the FF. I'm using it with my MS Sidewinder FF2 and I'm very pleased.

And this new system from Logitech is so cool, I'm tempted to buy all the controllers I have and buy this set....

I'd buy it just because of the split throttle BTW FF takes realism away from the setup if you're talking a modern fighter with FBW there will be no feedback through the stick.
