Hey all,

Just getting back into flight sims, and was wanting to build a simpit using Saitek FIP's. But, it looks like Saitek has removed them from their website, and I don't see many places online selling them. The ones I have found often have outrageous prices.

What's up with this? Was there some announcement or issue with them in the past couple of years that I missed? Seems like they're almost vanished.

Thanks,

You mean this one?

What a strange disparity of prices... from 270 to 700 bucks! Holy crapolli.


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

That's the one. Yeah, they retailed for $150 each even just a few months ago, and now no one has them in stock and the prices have skyrocketed. Really hoping they are not discontinued.

I think someone in the for-sale section has a few for sale. Worth checking.

And this smells like a discontinued product, for good reason. There's plenty of apps out there that can project to a cheap tablet, and do essentially the same thing.
