Well, my stick is extraordinarily comfortable. Also feels molded by my hand.

I have yet to use all the buttons.

Never broken any springs.

I'm smart enough to adjust the sensitivities in F$ itself.

Haven't had any issues for Joe to be necessary.

Did mine even need a manual?

And oh yeah, it was 1/3 the price.

And when did this become a contest, anyway?

Oh come on, this is not a contest

I'm only giving you my personal views, and I*m trying to be fair.
The X-45 is a great Hotas, far better than TM's TopGun series. But there is something special with the Cougar. It definetely made me a better pilot Grin

Trashy old M$ Sidewinder me. Last real plane I flew you laid your right arm on a console and the stick just fell to hand with the trim button on the top. All other controls were where you would expect them although the throttle was on a ramp on the left hand side so effectively it was like sitting in an arm chair. I've got a pad set up to copy the real aircraft and don't have a problem using it.

The Sidewinder was a gift

White on White fly all night.&&&&Red on White you're alright.&&&&Red on Red you'll soon be dead.

There are some who think they're real pilots. Generally, those are the guys who spend $300 on a joystick.
