I loved my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and it lasted about 12 years before a couple of sticky buttons made me retire it last month.

I can't comment on the Hotas 4 but I bought a Hotas 1 and I'm delighted with it.

Hi, Thanks for that answer! My 3D pro after also 12 years has sadly same problem with buttons.

I have a T.flight Hotas X and an Top Gun Afterburner, both work very good with SF2, based on the pics Hotas4 even have more options, so you should be OK, on the run.

I love mine, works remarkably well and was rather cheap. However there is an annoying problem, the throttle has a notch in the middle that makes it get stuck at 50%, presumably to make it easier to use but it does the opposite, it's very difficult to use the 40-60% range if you need to make quick but careful adjustements. It shouldn't be a particularly big problem in SF2, but for example AA refuelling in DCS is a nightmare because of that. Also the length of the throttle's cable that connects it to the joystick is a bit too short, it's still long enough to use them separately but I personally would have been better off with a longer cable.

AFAIK the only difference between the Hotas X, the One and the 4 is that the X is only compatible with PC while the other two are compatible with the Xbox One and the PS4 respectively.

I started off with the Thrustmaster HOTAS 3 & recently upgraded to the 4. No issues here with SF2.

      I have a problem I think is different from others described. I recently got a new Dell Alienware laptop described below. Because the SF2 files I moved from my old computer did not work on the new one I just purchased direct from Thirdwire, downloaded and installed the SF-2 Complete ($99.99).
      The game when running does not recognize input from either the keyboard or the joystick.
      When I start in Options and go to Controls it lets me input changes to the joystick to use the slider for rudder control and the throttle lever for throttle control. So it recognizes input from the joystick and keyboard there. However, when I go to fly in a game either "Instant Action" or  "Single Mission" it opens in the air or on the runway but does not respond to either the keyboard or joystick. That includes ESC - the only way I can get out is to employ Task Manager and end the task.
      I know the joystick works because it does in both DCS and Microsoft Flight Simulator. So the computer should likewise be adequate. The game continues to work fine on the previous computer - it's specs are listed below also.
      I have tried several total uninstalls and reinstalls, shut downs and restarts etc. and everything I have found on this forum but nothing works so far.
      What can I do?????
      The computer specifics are:
      Dell/Alienware Alienware x17 R2
      Windows 11 Home 64 bit
      Disk drive: NVMe PC SN810 NVME WDC1024GB
      Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900H   2.50 GHz
      Ram: 16.384GB (15.7 GB usable)
      DirectX Version: DirectX 12
      Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU
      Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X
      The previous computer: 
      Dell Inspiron G3 3579
      Windows 11 Home version 22H2
      Intel i7-8750H CPU@ 2.20Ghz
      16.0 GB RAM
      NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

      Hi,
      I have been playing Strike Fighters 2 since past few years using a Keyboard. But I recently borrowed a HOTAS from a friend who wasn't using it anymore. After installing the latest driver in my PC, the HOTAS identified by the game as well (Strike Fighters 2 full package, updated till March 2012). However, I am confused when it comes to setting up the controls. The buttons on the HOTAS are very well functioning (after adding via SF2 Key Mapping menu), but the game is not recieving any input from Throttle and Stick at all. Both systems are fine, no issues as Logitech Software also acknowledges the throttle and stick movement. 
       So can somebody please help me out in fixing this issue? 
      Thank You

      Hi everyone,
      I wanted to ask you if there is any way to fly the plane with mouse as yoke (just like War Thunder) in SF2 or SFP1
      I know it's way better to fly it with a joystick, and that it's perfectly playable with arrow keys, but that's something i just wanted to know about.
      Let me know if there is any way to set this as yoke command.
      Thank you very much

      I've been away from SF2 for about 6 months or so and started flying again today. I wanted to tweak a few controls on my Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X unit as I have done in the past. When I go to the "Options/Control" and then "Customize" screen it only gives me the option of makeing changes to the keyboard. On the Control screen it recognizes the Thrustmaster but in the Customize area there is no way I can find to make button assignments on the controller.
      The previously customized control file is still there. I get the same results on Viet Nam, Korea, Desert Storm and North Atlantic. All previously worked.
      Thoughts and help please!!!!!!
