BUFF Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Yoke & quadrant MSRP $149.99 additional quadrant MSRP $59.99 Instruments next year ... Quote
+streakeagle Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Interesting... but I think $60 for only 3-axis control and no pushbuttons is a bit steep... should be more like $30 or $40. Quote
BUFF Posted June 22, 2007 Author Posted June 22, 2007 remember that is MSRP - street price is likely to be lower. :yes: plus it does appear to have switches ... Quote
+Fates Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Nice to see that you can move the knobs around for multi-engine setups.....very nice indeed. Now we can get a setup for flying the B-52 Sweet! Quote
+streakeagle Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 With the switches, it is effectively direct competition with the CH throttle quadrant. NewEgg's price for the CH product is about $135... so half the product for less than half the price at $60 is fair. Also compared to a HOTAS setup like the X-52 for $130 which has two sticks... again half the product for half the price. The only game I frequently play where I could use such a setup to full effect would be Aces High II, which allows you to control rpm and manifold pressure for each engine on multi-engine aircraft like the P-38 and B-17. If only the SFP1 series had more detailed engine modeling to make a dual throttle useful when flying F-4s. Of course 99.9% of the time, the throttles stay together anyway, so the traditional single axis HOTAS throttle is really adequate for air combat purposes. Quote
DWCAce Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I think i'd buy that over the CH setup. No offense. Quote
