I use a CH throttle with a MS FFB2 stick. Luv the FFB. I'd buy a good FFB HOTAS setup.

Do it Saitek, do it.

Pleeeeeazzzeeee.

Good luck in your quest Bearcat. Thumbs Up

Ahem... and where's the choice for "I'd buy it if it wasn't too expensive" if you don't mind my asking?

Saitek hasen't been into the ultry expensive market yet, and I don't think they plan on going there quite yet.

Anyway, this rig would likely be aimed at the enthusiast who can afford that little extra, so while it won't be extremely pricy it may very well be more than most casual gamers are willing/able to spend on a joystick+throttle.
We do want quality don't we?

I have had a look at mine and it looks like 4 screws hold it on.

Are you bound by non-disclosure or can you give us some hints? My mouth is already watering...

Since it would be aimed to "senior simmers" mostly, please leave out "Top Gun BS" and keep it sober, sturdy and functional! Thumbs Up

never used the forces on my msffb2 when i had it, but absolutely loved the feel of the return to centre tension, so if it is comparable that way i would upgrade from the x52 i am currently using. would be a bad investment though considering the flight time i currently get, but still id probably pick one up.

If the stick was made properly... along the lines of the (more than) excellent MS FFB2, it could well be a go'er.
I don't think anyone would want something that was half*ssed, cheap feeling and plastic looking.
It wouldn't be too hard to develop a belt/ link drive 4x motor push/ pull feedback system, that had some stamina, based into a hall effect control housing. The tricky part is in the game's relation to feedback and how it is implemented.

I'm sorry to have to bring this OLD thread up but...

.....I have had many years of great flying with the X52 and I'm now looking for a FFB stick.

I know there is the Cyborg Evo FFB, but I would like to see a FFB version of the X52Pro and Rudder pro.

I recall "Bearcat99" from the IL-2 forums contacted Saitek last year about this issue and got a positive response, any news on this?

Hi,

Positive response? I seem to remember more that the response was that we'd taken that feedback on board and that something may come of it in future.

We're still several months away from any new product announcements for this year, but I've said several times in the past (especially around the time of Mad Catz acquiring us, when people were thinking that Saitek would disappear) that we remain completely committed to supporting flight simulation. Take from that what you will


Edit: Sorry for the double post, my fat fingers again.




Oleg: Pilots win dogfights. Not airplanes. If a pilot is not particularly good, regardless of a plane, he’ll always have a sinking feeling that something somewhere is wrong… and not everyone is willing to admit that the fault lies within.

Only if they made it from better materials at higher quality standards than they use for their X52. Surprised

LStarosta: -That was the most entertaining thing I've read all day, granted I just woke up.

Ernst_Rohr: - Since everyone whines equally, I think Oleg must have gotten it pretty close to right.
