If I may ask, what new stick did you buy? Just curious as I just entered the brand new world of HOTAS
As for the FCS, 2 years longevity is not that bad, if I need to replace the stick, the stick alone without throttle or pedals is just around 70$. I also read the throttle movement tends to become somewhat sticky after some time, did it happen to yours?
My only gripe at the moment is remembering what have I mapped to all the buttons (especially across different games), but I guess that happens with any HOTAS
New FCS stick of course.
Best stick for the price. (78 euros in Finland)
Yup, the throttle needs some greasing time to time, i have used silicone based oils, for example RC car shock oils are good.
A small drop of oil to the tip of the finger, insert finger down the slide hole and you can feel the metal slide bars both sides inside.
Mappings you will learn fast, just needs repeating them and they will get to your backbone soon.
I'm still completely hooked on SLAY THE SPIRE, which may be the most addictively replayable game I've ever owned. The first time you play it you think "why have I bought this well-reviewed rubbish" but then you find yourself going back to it every day. An extraordinary piece of game design.
What a great little gem of a game.
While I tend to dislike these new trend of games that seem made out of legos, this is my personal exception. So very addictive. haven't tried the new latest update yet though.
Downloaded Age of Wonders Planet fall t'other night and am planning on playing it co'opy styley with ma mates.......
IL-2 is simply fantastic. in my opinion, the best flight sim experiences are:
Civilian Aviation: X-Plane 11 (it just has no real competition these days, let's see when Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 comes out)
Military - World War 1: Rise of Flight
Military - World War 2: IL-2 Sturmovik
Military - Modern: DCS World
Any of these 4 games is brilliant as a flight sim.

I play that too. Why do we keep playing that game if we hate it so much? I can't even get a high score

Starting to spend more time with Hearts of Iron IV. The learning curve is brutal, but the game itself is rewarding and absolutely good fix for my strategy needs, now that Civ has fallen out as a respectable franchise (for me, for now).
Elsewhere, my progress in AC Odyssey has slowed down, partly because it is less beautiful than Origins, and partly because it seems poorly optimized.
World of Warships is still serving as my primary game...
After half a year without Elite, I sometimes feel the urge to fly a spaceship, but not strong enough yet to bother with reinstalling the game. NMS Beyond looks nice, but I was put off by those bug reports and it seems VR optimization is lacking.
Anyway, my gaming time is nicely filled up and at the moment there are no new titles I am looking forward to.
Edit: with the exception of MS Flight Sim, that looks stunning, I just hope it will get VR support.

Try Rebel Galaxy Outlaw.
Flies like a space ship, gets all the things right that we are missing in Elite - It's not a waiting simulator! you have an autopilot for the long trips and you can even cancel the cut scene.
If you loved Privateer, you'll be right at home.
Sounds promising, but how big is RG world?
Maybe 50-60 systems, about like Privateer. Various factions you can join or fight for, even be a proper pirate, where a pirate base lets you land, where it wouldn't let you until you became a pirate. Some risky jump points (might damage your ship) that are shortcuts, asteroid fields not as annoying as in Privateer and you can Autopilot through if you want.
9 ships to fly atm.
Various POI in every sector and you can even set/create new ones, like find an ice field to mine water (sells for a ton of money).
You have pirate factions, you have some religious fanatics, like the Retros, mercenaries, government, merchants.
Definitely worth it.
If you liked Privateer, it's 200% for you!
None of the waiting simulation, no grinding, trading is intuitive, combat is good and the game is really pleasant to play.
Wargame is quite good but figuring out LoF is a pain.

Rather than chew my fingers off waiting for Doom Eternal, I started a new chr in Dark Souls 3
