Just making sure. I have seen that same link posted in a couple of other places, and it was presented as fact. I guess I just assumed the same thing was happening here.

You guys do know that this is a satire website? That new alert is a joke.

Something that classy must be expensive. I think I could afford to pay two bills for that, but I would bet it would be close to 3 bills. Quality doesn't come cheap. :roll:

Well, it looks like this is a Saitek place. It still remains to be seen what I will get. There are so few reviews of the Afterburner, and they are mixed reviews. That scares me a little bit. Saitek seems to be a known entity. It would be cool if you could get the EVO and the X-52 throttle as a unit.

Dude, you mean to tell me you're not using a mouse+keyboard to fly? OMG, n00b! I bet you don't even reverse the vertical axis! ;) I have an X-52 and for me it's just about the perfect setup but I agree about the twist rudder... as soon as I have some money to burn I think I'll check out the new Sai...

I thought about getting that one, but I am not really a fan of rudder twist sticks. Just a personal preference, though.

Thrustmaster Afterburner FFB HOTAS

Anybody have this setup? What do they think of it? I am all for the super great sticks and all of that, but I have to balance it with the fact that I have other things that are greater financial priorities. So, with that said, is the Thrustmaster Afterburner FFB HOTAS a fair setup?

Hiya and welcome. Good luck with the Flight School. I did some of that during ATC training like Principles of Flight and figuring how to do Vectors without the use of calculators. All that and I still can't figure out how to do a 3-point landing with the FI during online play. :lol: I can belly lan...

Thanks for the reply. What I meant by flying in the same airframe was, do you all fly the same model of aircraft, or do you pick your own model? For example: 1 person picks a P-38, another 4 pick Spits, 2 more on Mustangs, and so on. Or, does the entire group fly a single model airframe for that mis...

Hello

Hey guys. My name is Dan Shea. I am new in town. I just applied to join the FI, but I do have to admit that I am not ready to fly just yet. I have a full-time job, am going to school, and I am starting the process of getting my pilot's license. So, that means I won't be able to start flying for a co...
