Which HOTAS model?

I think he is talking about the new Airbus HOTAS they just released: https://www.amazon.c...i_NbZeFbWYH7R3T

I saw that after I had posted but was too lazy to edit my post. Is this a new revision? I recall someone getting this a few weeks ago and posted it in a photo with new hardware for their rig online. Accidental early delivery? I'm looking at the Warthog system myself, though I recall the throttle being very heavy but smooth. In any case, you need to modify whatever you buy to your liking.


Edit: Very likely confusing it for the Thrustmaster announcement.

Well after waiting a bit for Amazon to deliver the Disc version, only to read a review that it comes as a standard edition and you have to download the rest, I cancelled and downloaded it from Microsoft today.
Boy am I going to need an upgrade! Getting about 5-6 fps on my GTX 970 in ULTRA settings!
It does LOOK the bollocks though.
My hatred for virtual cockpits has not gone away though. Trying to select altitude, heading and speed settings is still a fcking nightmare

I'm more impressed you had the time mapped out to insert 10 DVDs. Not a fan of VCs either but the era of 2D panels is over I'm afraid. Wish they'd make a new Track IR. VR is nice but these new models are like driving 2 4K or greater monitors inches from your eyeballs.  Are you still on your C2D Quad?

I’ve had an i7 6700K for the last five years.

Wondering if MS2020 will revive FSW (is it called FSH now due to new website name flightsimhq?) and bring it back to old glories of great activity??
