Early rumours say the single fire button is fully programmable and features both ON and OFF modes.

:lol:

N00B!

This is a real Hot-Ass stick.

Alright, I'd been keeping this one to myself but I can see you gentlemen know your sticks...



If money is no object, check out this bad boy from Microsoft. Quite simply, this stick will make you a better virtual pilot...

Awesome. As you can see, I have heavily modded mine by adding a ball-point pen. I can squeeze an extra 20% out of the Axis planes with that Bic. Full schematics available on request.

Loosecannon-

I'd do Thrustmaster. Yes, it's a little pricey, but it wont crack in half when you get a little pissed in "Spitz vs. 109's". I've had CH pedals for four years now; they're sturdy and reasonably priced (100.00 U.S.) HOTAS is indispensable once you practice it- you'll be autopilot, son. GL!
