need help to choose

[simus]

Hi, I need help to choose a new hotas system. Now i have since 2008 saitek x52 but is hard to configure. Now I'm looking for a new one. but is hard to choose, i look at the x52 pro but i'm afraid to have the same probleme to setup and i look at the x56 rhinos but I'm not sure i look at the CH Flight stick/Throttle and the last one is a copy of the cobra m5 is the Cobra V5 the the throttle here the link for the cobra V5 (https://www.tomauri.com/products/cobra-v5-hotas-flight-simulation-combo) but it look like they do not have software to setup.

thanks again and sorry for my english.

I would probably pick Thrustmaster T.16000M Hotas

Vkb with warthog throttle until vkb releases theirs at the end of the year or Virpil I’m not as up on their throttle release

what do you think about this one

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick Pack (http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/hotas-warthog)

I know is a little bite expensive but look very solid and is metal and not cheap plastic

Those steel cases are misleading. Pretty nice marketing trick but inside is plastic gimbal and cheap low quality electronics and TM WH throttle main board dying is pretty common thing and then it's just a expensive brick unless you buy new board and replace it by yourself. If you are willing to spend some money get Virpil stick and throttle.

...and the last one is a copy of the cobra m5 is the Cobra V5 the the throttle here the link for the cobra V5 (https://www.tomauri.com/products/cobra-v5-hotas-flight-simulation-combo)

 

This is OEM versions of discontinued products (= more cheap made possible) by Defender and Gametrix, better don't take risk, specially by this price.

I have the tm wh hotas to me it was better made than I expected and they’re rumors of an f-18 version coming along the same standards as the wh. But I really like the design of the vkb gunfighter 2 baseand had decidedto just get the base instead of the full gf2 pro(with extension) and a Modern Combat grip pro (more axises and button functions) I need to be able to setup a twist grip action and hopefully vkb will release their adapter shortly after the stick arrives. I have heard of troubles with. The wh throttle I just hopes it lasts until I get a vkb throttle. The main problem with the stick (wh) is stiction and some use lube I think it will not be needed on the vkb gimble setup.

short story i bought the Cobra V5 hotas kit(because my old saitek x52 doesn't want to stay calibre and the setup was a nightmare)and for VKB for the momment they are out of stock but the stick i'm looking is the Gunfighter Mk.II with the MCG PRO grip but until VKB didn't release the throttle yet i will wait and for Virpil the payment method doesn't work for canadien. the thrustmaster T.16000M Hotas was feel cheap in my hand and the stick look like a toy. the other one Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick Pack was not the price that stop me but the bad review. the Cobra V5 hotas kit work like a charm and the setup is easy to do in DCS and i event make for the first time a landing on a aircraft carrier and i did with the first attempt with no problem. i wll see with the time but for the momment until VKB release the throttle i will play with my new hotas system
