I'm looking for opinions. Don't know why cause it's too late I already ordered both!
Currently I fly FSX and FS2004 as well as CSF2 and 3. I've been using a CH products Flight sim yoke Pro with an added desktop aviator Elevator trim wheel, Ch Pro rudder pedals for the yoke typw planes and a thrushmaster HOTAS Cougar for the stick planes. The HOTAS sucks. It looks and feels awesome, but programming it sucks, and there are very little profiles for it, the ones you can find either don't work or are not practical. I'm giving up on it.
So I want to add the multi trottle quad for multi engine planes, and the new X52 pro to replace the HOTAS. What do you think? Good or bad move?

I have the CH multi throttle quad ...and have for some time.  It is the temporary solution in my simpit. 

It works absolutely great..... BUT....... I have it calibrated and customized via the payware version of FSUIPC (see the tutorial on the FSUIPC website).  Without FSUIPC .... it was a bit difficult to calibrate well.  Particularly reverse thrust.

Well made and durable.... not as "plastic-y" as the Saitek stuff.

best,

............john
