I play using a JS from an Atari 2600.... I recon I can take you in a dog fight

Never tried anything other than an old black widow I had knocking around, before I got the Warthog. Guess I am lucky enough to be able to get one, but they are available for about £280 delivered in the UK if you search and are prepared to wait a little on pre-order. The Warthog is the dogs danglies and when combined with pedals for yaw, I feel is probably the best there is without professional kit. It is massively heavy, all metal.

On a side note, I am willing to donate FREE the Black Widow to the 1st person to PM offering to collect from Sandbach Cheshire.

Only bad thing is I can't use the yaw pedals as I've been paralyzed since 2010. I'm looking for a throttle that has two buttons where one's fingertips would be on the throttle. Guess I'll just suck it up and save for the Warthog! Lol

The Thrustmaster HOTAS X is a good cheap setup, yaw on twisting the main stick is pretty intuitive.

ah explains that. Yes the Warthog throttle would work for you, plenty of thumb sticks to set up a yaw on. But there are other options if it is too pricey as mentioned by others.

My wife would leave me haha but she does let me get a few things for my gaming hobby. My setup isn't as great, but pretty darn good. $3k built pc, 70" TV, and x55 rhino. Plus the huge collection of consoles collecting dust lol.

Now I knew there was something I forgot Oh there are Buttkickers in the rig too

Ive actually got a Blackwidow, it has yaw on the throttle so the lot can be done from the JS

Just a shame it is lacking a few more buttons, but otherwise a good simple Hotas

My wife would kill me if I had something like that set up (until we move anyway!).

Just down the road from you in "sunny" North Wales.

It is a good joystick and I only upgrade to a Warthog because I can afford to and I would like to get into DCS at one time.
