Thank you guys, that was exactly the kind of information I was looking for.

I am on the fence between these two beasts, I see the differences in gameplay but an important point to me is the quality of the interactive in-game tutorial. I have a limited collection of modules and while the ED ones have a comprehensive and spot-on tutorial (might not be the case for all their modules, but it is for those I tried), the third party modules sometimes are quite sub par in this regard (buggy, incomplete or with wrong information never updated after early-access phase). My final decision will not be strictly based on this, I am quite aware of the ways they differ besides this issue, but this is an element of choice. So, can someone having both F-14 and F/A-18 tell me how they compare, strictly on this matter?

Last year I bought the MCG on a Gunfighter 2 alongside the T-rudders, this was the best purchase decision in my life and I am always proud to show them off when I have visitors, and they never fail to praise the obvious quality of the engineering. All my life I felt unsatisfied by the (numerous...) devices I have owned, until these ones : they were everything I ever wanted out of a controller set... except that they didn't comprise a throttle. I have been following this TECS thread since the very beginning, there are almost no words to describe how eager I am, to the point of only reluctantly launching games (since I don't have THE throttle yet). That said, this is nothing compared to the confidence I have in VKB to deliver on this project. Take all the time you need to make another great product (but not a minute more!).
