domaniko Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Anybody have experience with this two sticks? What is more better for Mi8 ?:huh:
Mainstay Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I have played DCS with an X52, X65 and a Warthog and if you have the money go for the Warthog. Warthog is so much more precise when it comes to precision flying and adjustments. But its up to your budget but joystick wise its like comparing a Fiat 500 with a Mercedes 63AMG. 1
Scing Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Man speaks the truth. I went from an old Saitek Cyborg Evo joystick w/ twist rudder. Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS TrackIR5 Rudder Pedals with toe brakes I felt the using the new joystick made DCS feel like an entirely different beast. You have actual super precise control of whatever you want to accomplish.

dok_rp Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I have the Warthog and the Saitek Pro Flight pedals along with TrackIR. I like this combo a lot. I've already owned the X52 for over two years. I prefer the Thrustmaster joystick.
Flying Penguin Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Satisfied X52 Pro user here. No it's not as good as the Warthog, but it's not even close to the same price and doesn't need separate rudder pedals. It may not be carved from hardened unobtanium, forged for a million years in a distant star, but mine has lasted 8 years so far and is still in great condition. And unlike the G940, it's still being made. Per Ardua Ad Aquarium :drink: Specs: Intel i7-9700K, GTX 2080TI, 32GB DDR4, ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E, Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2

Ok that is the funniest comment I have seen in a while! Not often that you can pull Avatar AND Middle-Earth references into a flight sim post...

skouras Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Anybody have experience with this two sticks? What is more better for Mi8 ?:huh: Greetings buddy! I have both and Warthog is a better HOTAS than X52. BUT...i have found that the stick of x52 [especially modded] is much better for flying helos especially the T16000 if you have money go for Warthog its gonna give you good feeling and good quality over control! or get the x55 rhino cheaper and nice option you can adjust the feeling curve movement which is good for both helos and planes! The option is yours!

Rogue Trooper Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 The warthog is very precise, but with choppers it is even better with an extension to give you the ultimate control. extension is better with planes too.... funny that.

aeliusg Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 +1 from another satisfied G940 user :thumbup: +2 the G940 is a necessity for helicopters. MS FFB2 also fits the bill.
nsksleeper Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 my setup is a X52 and Saitek Rudder Pedals with toebrakes, i don't have the warthog, i don't know if it works with the warthog, you can use differt profiles for the stick, so i did the most keycommands via the X52 Profiler, so i different profiles for every modul in DCS, in addition with the Pinkie switch on the stick you can perfectly double your knobs, so you can use one button on your stick in 2 different ways. Example: i used the a-knob for trim and with pinkie and A it is disengage trim. If you need help with setting up, please send me a PM. Importend you have to use Saitek driver 6 not 7, because 7 is bugging, and the comment from Saitek itself: you have life with this problem. :-( lg Markus
