So i've been interested in started playing simulation games for a while. I'm a big fan of the ARMA series, but i feel that i would probably
enjoy the DCS games too, i have tried Black Shark and it seems great (though difficult, obviously, especially without a proper controller hehe). I'm also a fan of space simulation games like X3 and to play that game with a a proper controller would be much more immersive i think.

I've ordered the Track IR 5.. the rest i'm a bit more unsure about, my current shoppingcart:



any objections? smile

I have small hands, will that be a problem with the Warthog? Will it work ok for games like X3?

Realism isnt extremely important for me, but ofcourse, i can see how it would be a big plus in A-10C, and the joystick seems _really_ nice. And yes i'm willing to spend a a bit of money for a nice controller setup (though probably not much more than this at the moment).

Any help would be great.

Well as an owner of both products I think you'll be happy with both purchases. My Pro Flight pedals have been good to me and the TM Warthog HOTAS is top notch stuff. If you're looking for the best of the best the Simped Rudder pedals are VERY NICE but super expensive!

Fully agree, I also have the same setup and it is top notch.
No problems with small hands, my 10 year old daughter can fly with it with no problems.

Btw, Välkommen till SimHQ.
Where in Sweden do you live?
