WoW!

Bought a decent system last year (thanks guod for the recommendation), bought a used Saitek X-65 couple months
ago (thanks Jason), now pulled the trigger and finally bought a trackIR (thanks piper)!

Man is this cool! Flying RoF is a dream. Tried CLoD, but the last patch is still killng me. DCS A-10 is a
different game.

Should have done this a while back.

And btw, the wife loves it too. Haven't heard laugh that hard in a long time...

Have the Pro clip attached to full-sized headphones (remember those Jason?). Laptop on the
coffee table. HOTAS on the floor. USB cables everywhere.

I can only afford one computer, and with my business - I'm mobile.

I consider TIR more important than rudder pedals or a HOTAS system for flightsims. When I got mine the 1st thing I thought was "why didn't I buy this thing years ago?".

It's that good.


yep

I can't do without mine either.

I was actually wondering how the company is doing. They aren't selling a V6, and those things thankfully last. So not sure how many 4s and 5s they are still selling.

Now grab some Saitek pedals and fly RoF for about three weeks.

Then get some kind soul to take you up in a RL Champ.

Be amazed that it ain't that hard!

I'm left-handed so I've never used a HOTAS or pedals for flight sims and I think I'm doing just fine. smile
