Flight control advice.

[power5]

I have a G940 and it has been flawless for me. Though I just may not have enough experience with other hardware to know its short comings. I have always used twist sticks in the past. I would love a WH though. People in reviews claimed that the G940 was an excellent piece of hardware and more accurate than anything on the market. Now it seems to be reviewed as a piece of junk. Now all the reviews say the WH is the most excellent piece of hardware and more accurate than anything on the market. Hence my apprehension to believing its twice as good as a g940 (according to price which does not include a set of pedals).

 

I was not attacking, but all the posts saying the WH will last 10 years because of non contact hall sensors keeps irking me. In all the sticks I have had the axis were the last things to go bad. I had 2 saitek sticks recently that lost most of the buttons functionality long before the axis went bad. And I only had a bad twist axis on one of my sticks. I went from like 8 buttons on the cyborg stick to a trigger and one of the top buttons left. Then the twist became erratic and I decided to upgrade to the G940 that everyone was claiming to be the last and greatest HOTAS I would ever need. And that it has absolutely amazing FFB.

 

I do hope to one day be able to afford a WH though. By the time I can afford it of course, DCS:Fighter Jet will be out and the new stick that works best and perfectly for it will be released also.

Oh yes. I plan on getting that. Unfortunately, TrackIR5 doesn't seem to be working with ATI drivers at the moment, and I just got a new HD5850 :(. Hopefully they'll resolve that problem soon or I may get rid of it for some sort of Nvidia card.

 

I got a 5770 and it works very fine for me.

I have a cougar until warthog arrive with hall senser and since i installed them 4 years, not a glitch at all, 2 on the joy, 1 on the throttle and 3 on the RCS simply perfect. Not even a spike. The place is dusty and hardware not friendly (Brazil.)

Click the modifiers button on the controls window. add a new one and it should work when you press it in the new command window for the function you are trying to map.
