>the Thrustmaster isn’t as realistic as they say!<yes it is, albeit with a 300 euro drop in mod.Still number one.

I do have the Saitek since the first days it is on the market.On an other spot I still have the X52 and the Cougar Thrustmaster, but the new Saitek is definitively the most satisfying.Alternatively you could buy the Boeing Yoke or the Airbus stick but the cost would be about 2000€.If you can afford it I think you will be every moment happy with your choice.
