It looks like My Saitek X 52 Throttle and Joystick just bit the dust. The lights on the joystick flash at a regular five second interval and my planes have no controls. So unless someone can come up with an answer how to fix it, does anyone have a recommendation of a good throttle and joystick ? My controllers are several years old. Thanks

Well if you want my opinion on the best build quality joystick and throttle out there it's the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog.

It is very well built and uses quality switches. It is quite heavy, I had my brother who is a fabricator weld up some steel mounting plates for it that I bolted to my desk. I would recommend this to anyone even if they don't fly DCS A-10C. It works well for me in FSX, P3D and X-Plane.

I prefer CH Products.
 

Best prices are on Amazon.

What about the newer version in that same line line of joysticks, the Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino HOTAS System?:

That's the one that I'll probably get when my X52 busts.

 

Hope that helps!
