Sorry to revive this, y'all! Just curious on some of your guys opinions: I recently dug back into the Hornet and have been loving it. I fly using an old X52 Pro that I've had for six or seven years now, and it's served me very well. (Very few issues with it, though the potentiometers have always given me grief, they're very twitchy.) (I should add, I'm also looking to start flying the warthog and mirage, so I need more controls...!)
Anyways, I've got some expendable cash that I can drop on getting myself some new hardware (which really should go to a new GPU, but lets be real, they're not worth their price atm.) so I've been considering a new stick and throttle. At first I was browsing for a Warthog, which... in reality would be about the same as what my other options were. But then I thought... What about a VKB Gladiator with the Premium grip, and the WinWing FA18 throttle? But after reading this review and seeing a lot of you Warthog owners saying they might jump on the WinWing Hornet stick, I'm really curious if I should consider just jumping on the WinWing FA18 HOTAS set when it drops back into stock later this week?
Any thoughts, guys? Or should I just stick with my Gladiator plan? This is going to be the first major upgrade for my flight gear, and I definitely want something solid that will last me a good time, even if I gotta put in a tiny bit of work to make it better. (I mainly play off my desk, but I might consider getting some desk mounts.)
