There are still a few questions about the products I am researching the answer to but it also seems that Virpil will be what I'm going for. Nothing but praise about their hardware and a little less praise about their old software solutions which I understand have been updated to be more user friendly. Also, and this is key for me, they do what they can to ensure the protection of their gear being shipped.

Also watching out for news on their upcoming helicopter collectives. Both the Ka-50 and the UH-60 collectives have been modelled to some accuracy (bar classified functions I can imagine). Still no news on how the design is going or any release date. I have been looking at the Puma Pro Flight Trainer as well but it's too specific to be useful for anything other than certain helicopter sims.

I can easily wait a couple of months too so DHL being slow is not much of an issue.

Here's what I have on my radar
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-control-panel-1.html
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-const...n-alpha-l.html for Elite Dangerous
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-const...n-alpha-r.html main for all sims
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-warbrd-base.html 2 for Elite Dangerous
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-mongoost-50cm-base.html for DCS
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-mongo...-throttle.html
https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-fligh...ion-200mm.html for DCS

Now I need to talk myself out of thinking this is insane and it seems it's working slowly but surely. Summer is looking like sim time.

That is some serious hardware!
