Not if you are going to get very serious in DCS. It doesn't have enough hats. I had it for about 6 months, bit the bullet, got the warthog hotas, and have never looked back. I had to make most of the throttle button switches to make the one hat on the stick act as DMS TMS COOLIE SLEW and that left most throttle stuff done on the keyboard. very hard while trying to fly combat missions.
