Hello dudes ! I'm fly helicopters 90% of the time in X-Plane, mainly Dreamfoil's R-22 and Jet Ranger, then some other stuffs, the MD902, BK 117, Mil MI-8, Hughes 500 D.. I love the R-22 and Jet Ranger, I'm impatient to see a high quality Huey or R-44 ( Maybe Conex would be more open to the R-44, as it is a training heli also ). For controls, I had the so pupular saitek X52. Then, one year ago I invested in a very high quality HOTAS, the Thrustmaster Warthog. It's main features are : - Reproduction of the real sticks and throttle of the A-10 US Bomber - Sticks, buttons, switchs, base.. in Metal, very heavy - Perfect quality for everything, aviation quality switches, 2 or 3 ways, constant pression etc.. - Very high axes resolution of 12 bits, 65536 X 65536 values So, even if it was designed for a fixed wing ACFT, the joystick handle is very similar to today's military helo, black, metal, with some hats for trims, a trigger etc.. Even if the throttle doesn't look a collective sticks, it allow very precise and fine adjustements, and the grey lever allow for engine power to be controlled ( for example, you start a turbine heli with GOV Off and full idle power, then slowly increase the power with that lever and finally, when normal OPS RPM is reached, switch on the GOV/Fadec ) I plan to buy this mod, that allow a longer stick for more precision around a small area ( as it increase the travel range due to the larger moment ) For pedals, I also got the Pro Combat Pedals from Saitek. I love the differencial brakes, but not best for helis, we should have ours heels constantly on the ground, pushing with the fore feet. Thats impossible in the PFC Pedals, yo have to move your whole leg, while move back the other.. http://www.mikesflightdeck.com/mfdb/mfdb_images/pedal_set.jpg Regards, Valentin
