Recommended Posts

PLenty of overlap, so how many of you guys own both? DO you think it's worth getting the PTO if you have the Orion 2?
 

If you have the Orion 2 HOTAS and the PTO 2 what do you use the overlaping switches for?

Just like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, even though it says "Wing Fold" on the box, doesn't mean it needs to be so

 

Also, the ergonomics between them are vastly different, in VR I'll never mistake my gear for brake handle on the PTO2

And where the PTO2 tries to give a more realistic approach, the Orion2 has it's realism end the moment you let go of the throttle handles

I own the Orion2 HOTAS and just a few days ago ordered the PTO2 to go with it. For me it's specifically so I can get a lever to operate the landing gear and hook in the Corsair, rather than flip a switch or press a button.

You guys convinced me. If I don't get off this forum I'll be driven to the poor house.
