Cheaper CH gear

[Skybird]

Aerosoft, beside Flight1 one of the world's two largest companies for distributing flight simulation software, has massively lowered prices for CH hardware, and constantly so.

You see the offers in the top line on the page.

If you live in Europe and consider getting new top class gear in the next future, check them out, you can switch languages in the top right corner. Eventually you can save money even when considering higher shipping prices.

I have Fighterstick and ProThrottle and rate both as top quality products, allowing me a possible maximum of over 150 commands and 6 axis mapped to the combo. Axis alternatively can also be mapped not to movements axis, but a range of keyboard commands, defininf several of these per axis instead of just two.

I use an adapter to use a PS2 controller on my PC. Good enough for me.

Hey that's great news Skybird

CH products really seem to be among the best there are. So far they've always been too expensive to even consider a purchase. I still use my Logitech Extreme 3D joystick with a twist handle, but flying with pedals must be a totally different experience ...
Maybe I'll get myself a pair of pedals for Christmas

For pedals, I recommend the Simped Vario Pros. They are better than the CH pedals, more comfortable food spacing, better quality. the Y-Flight-Yoke i also do not recommend, it simply feels too light and easy-going, I have one, and haven't used it since years, it also does not centre well. The Fighterstick and ProThrottle are very highly recommended, and the Throttle really is cheap there now. One or two other items also are tasty in their price reductions.
