Going from this (Wingman Extreme 3D Pro):

to this (Saitek X52 Pro):

It looks like people have made a couple good profiles for A-10C and Black Shark, so on top of looking like a decent stick based on reviews which say they fixed most issues with the original X52, it should also get along well with A-10C and BS2.

I wish I had known you were looking for one, I have that exact HOTAS (Brand new) and I don't use it. I honestly still prefer to use my Top Gun Afterburner II.

To be honest it would have been a difficult sale, so you don't have to feel that bad. Our on call at work is supposed to be a global affair, but because of issues HR has failed to work out it is (STILL!) restricted to US folks. For that they are at least compensating us. But we don't exactly get paid in cash money. Instead we get redeemable "awards" (this is meant to be an incentive thing when people go above an beyond, that in this case being used to somewhat fix a somewhat screwed up situation) which we can in turn buy gift cards from a zillion places with, so I end up buying way way more than the average bear off Amazon for no or little cost to myself.

If I ever get off my lazy ass and make the effort, I could learn how to fly with my right hand and get a HOTAS.

Maybe we should start a "Hammer wants to play SWTOR" fund? If I could think of a way to write it off as a business expense, I would certainly hook you up.

Hammer, pick up a copy of SWTOR and we'll talk. I have another favor to ask regarding web hosting.
