August 20, 201411 yr Hello pilots, With the starting of my Junior year, I was thinking about changing my old Logitech Extreme Pro controller and getting a new one. First, I want to just clarify that, I generally fly NGX and sometimes A321. (Hopefully I will fly more Airbus with the releases of NLS A380 and FSLabs A3XX) But my simulation experience is not only limited to these few aircraft. I have many planes in my hanger, but these are the ones I fly a lot: 1. NGX 2. AXE 3. A2A G/A (C172 and Cherokee) 4. A2A P40 and P51 5. Q400 Dash 8 Because NGX is my first choice, I thought about getting a yoke, rather then a Joystick. But because I live in a dorm, where I have to "hide" my sim stuff at nights, I have to get a small or rather "moveable" controller. First thing came to my mind was Saitek X52 Pro, that I had to return due to the display on the throttle panel, not being compatible with many addon aircraft. So my best bet is Saitek Pro X-55. It is nice, easy to handle and looks awesome. Also, from Froogle's videos, I had a feeling that it is a really good controller... So here on Avsim Forums, I decided to write my short story and get your opinions on it. You can provide Pros and Cons, or even tell me more about your controller. I will probably purchase at the end of September or in October. Thanks for everything. P.S: I am not a big fan of Boeing or Airbus. I just fly with the one that feels real and good. As for now it is PMDG. Also, what is my favorite if you ask .............. P-51 Mustang ........... Preferably ones with Blondie on 'em THY9029 - Pilot of Q400, B738 NG and A321.
