Wow....cool. And all this after I just bought a whole CH set-up.

I think that your CH set will serve you long and at least as well as the Saitek would.

I got the Saitek X52 and love it, though the design could be less futuristic.

I've seen this stick... not sure about having the throttles in front of the stick though.

I'm keeping my X45/ Ch pedals setup untill it dies on me- apart from anything else its paid for!!!.

Well it looks interesting but I still love my 4 year old MS FF2 [-o< and praying it doesn't break on me as you cannot get them anymore :(

Scott, does Saitek set work well with CH pedals?

No problems at all. When you set up you do need to reassign keystrokes to to Stick/ throttle but for me the game automatically assigned a seperate controller id after i had installed the pedals.

Looks nice, I'm still using a MS SideWinder Pro 2. I still have a new X45 that i used for about one hour, hate it (probably just too many buttons, separate throttle unit, and i'm too lazy to learn or adapt). Its for sale (cheap) if anyones interested.
