So I have been flying for a few weeks now, using the touch controllers.. thinking ok.. this isn't too bad... I have everything I need mapped to the controllers and a few commands in Voice Attack. I don't need a Hotus...
I got an inexpensive Hotus.
I WAS WRONG.
The difference is staggering. The level of control with the Hotus is way.... way... better.
Even with a cheep Hotus ( $45 after tax ) it was worth it 100%. When this one dies I'll be shelling out for a more expensive one.
On the flip side... I managed to buy an AspX and set it up for mining - read some tutorials... Found some void opals and other nice minerals.
A classed the AspX for mining, then A classed a Vulture for combat - So much easier with the Hotas for combat.
