I'm looking at replacing my ten year old Saitek Cyborg with something new and high tech. I have been looking at either the Saitek X52 Pro system with the rudder pedals, or the 65X system also with the rudder pedals. I love the dual throttles on the 65X but it doesn't have the MFD that the X52 has which I really like. Also, the stick for the 65X system is pressure sensitive like some of the real FBW fighter jets. It doesn't actualy move. I'm not sure I would like that (or the $400+ price). If only the X52 had dual throttles, the choice would be easy. Has anyone used either of these (or any other good sticks. I don't absolutely have to have a Saitek) and have any advice on which would be better? I like the fact that either of these sticks have multiple axis and buttons and hats, oh my! That is a must.

i personaly prefer the Saitek stuff, I use the X52 Pro with the pro rudder pedals & headset, it all works fine together, the mfd is handy you can change radio frequencys, Nav, stopwatch, flight level, vsi, & time on it. I have just remapped the FSX controls but you can program all the buttons, sliders,toggles & hats to do 3 different operations each with the software download thats available too. Smiley
