Looking for some recommendations for a joystick for the game. I currently have Honeycomb Alpha yoke and Bravo throttle along with Logitech rudder pedals that I use for flight sims and a friend just got me into this game. I've quickly realized that while the yoke is fine for trade/transport type stuff, it's going to be a pain for combat mostly because of the bands it uses to simulate elevator forces in an airplane on the pitch axis. So I'm thinking of picking up a stick to use with the throttle I already have as that part seems to be working great since it has lots of buttons etc. I had been thinking of picking up a Thrustmaster TCA Airbus stick already for flight sim use, it's swappable left or right hand and has about 16 buttons on it. Another friend that has a dual stick setup with a gaming chassis has VKB Gladiator NXT Premiums and was recommending those.
Just wondering if anyone has opinions on either of those sticks or recommendations for something else? I had originally been leaning toward the thrustmaster Airbus stick since it can be swapped between L/R hands as in the flight sims and IRL sitting left seat means the stick is in the left hand for those aircraft, but being right handed I definitely would want that for space combat I think.
