Looking at the hardware surrounding me for simulators i see two sets:For my racekick i use the Logitech G27. For my Flightkick i use the Saitek proflight yoke, rudders and two extra throttle quadrants.Let's look at the price. I have bought the logitech for 250 euro's. My whole saitek config costs me 300 euro's.When i compare Logitech build quality with Saitek i almost cry. How the hell on earth have i ever spent so much money on Saitek.My Logitech is a top notch quality build product. The rim has quaility leather and sturdy metal, the inside is neatly done with two very strong FFB engines. The pedals are from metal and as gimmick they also deliver a gearbox which has the last quality but its working fine. I have deasembled the gearbox and i cant find any flaws.On the other hand i use Saitek. First thing i noticed was the lack of ball bearing. Saitek uses a Nylon bus which is stiky. Logitech is not using ball bearings either but its smooth and non stiky as the saitek.Second: the potentiometers. What a crap!! I have to spray the meters every month by now otherwise my throttles spike like hell. The whole build quality of the Saitek is so poor compared to my Logitech. The plastic cruches as i turn the yoke.But Why?? Why isnt there a Logitech quality build flightyoke with rudder pedals and a throttle unit for the same price as the G27. Either its Saitek or i have to buy a replica which costs me over 1000 euro's.

There's quite a bit more going on in a yoke, rudders, and 9 axes of throttle than in a racing wheel and pedals. You've got 14 axes of movement, and lots of buttons, versus 4 axes and a few buttons. I'm sure multiaxis movement of the yoke is more complicated to manufacture than the single axis movements in the racing wheel.In the end, you get the quality you pay for.

I don't even understand how you compare racing set with flight set?

I compare the building quality of the devices. Its about the usage of internal components. Are they made out of plastic or metal. Doesnt have anything to do with the nature of the device even if it has another purpose.

If its build quality you're looking for, it sounds like you should try the Warthog, though it's a fair bit more expensive, and that's just for a joystick and two throttles. I think that it's fairly reasonable to expect that the quality you're looking for in your flight controls would be expensive. As I said in my previous post, you get what you pay for.
