Ah hah. I got a very wired up Cyborg X, that was meant for Jumpgate Evolution. Must say I'm pretty happy with it, given that it had to wait a few years before seeing any action. Not that it is the optimal solution for ED or anything, but I don't have to touch the keyboard much. Spilling drinks into it still applies though. Curiously enough.
I blame you lot!

My HOTAS was the last one on stock.
Was so happy that I found it!
Good Game...

Yep. I had a T.Flight Hotas in my Amazon cart on Dec 15th for $35, and when I went back to buy it on the 16th it had jumped to $45 overnight....
wow, prices for HOTASX have gone up, wonder why
I think this game is putting joysticks back into the hands of people who haven't held one since it looked like this:
Yeah ..... Sorry about that. *strokes new T-Flight*

This and Star Citizen have caused a bit of a shortage of high end flight sticks. Stock of them is at an all time low.

One word: Blisters!
My last "joystick" before ED was one attached to this system:

Ps: still got the magnavox, still works, the joysticks, not so much, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, one day I'll fix em just for old times sake!
and yes, I know it's not a real joystick but the pic up here reminded me of it

The detents can be a pain for sure. After using for a couple of months I had to remove the detents from my X52 Pro because it kept throttling back to 75% unless you held it at max throttle. Thankfully it's extremely easy to remove..

does the X52 have a twist mode on the joystick for yaw? if not how do people use the yaw control? I have the cyborg 3d pro joystick (yes it is old) but the twist yaw is brilliant.
Yes, it does. You can also "lock" it if you don't like the twisty.
its just like finding the right equipment in-game ;-)
On the X52P, any ideas on how to keep the connecting cable between the throttle and stick from unplugging? It doesn't pop out all the way, just enough to screw you when flying into a terminal. Someone mentioned using hot glue, which sounds good until you want to change the seating arrangements.
I tried using that and it was meh, okish. I went and got a thrustmaster flight stick and now I am a freaking ACE baby yeah!
