I can't comment on the CH stuff, but I've used the Suncom stick and throttle and I like them. I also have a Thrustmaster TQS/FLCS as well. The Thrustmaster stuff has more programming capabilities but the Suncom stuff is easier to program. You can even program the Suncom stuff in the middle of the game. The quality of the Suncom stuff is solid - no major problems. But the Suncom stuff, especially the throttle, is big. These guys take up a decent amount of desktop real estate. The dual throttle feature is nice, but unfortunately, only Flanker 2.0 takes advantage of it. The second throttle, if unused in the game, can be designated as "rudder pedals" if wanted. The Talon stick has a good center that snaps tightly and the stick is not tight, like the Thrustmaster F-22 was. You don't have to be a body builder to the the Suncom stick. Again, as I said, someone else with have to comment on the CH Products stuff though I've generally heard good things about them too.[This message has been edited by DaleReeck (edited 08-10-2000).]

Although Im a "fanatic" Thrustmaster owner and user (FLCS/TQS for years now), Ive played with both the SunCom and CH HOTAS gear as well. If money isnt an issue I'd go for the CH stick+throttle combo, however if your budget isnt too big the Suncom stick+throttle combo is the best alternative. SunCom is good, I just find the CH stick and throttle to be more solid and it just felt better in my hands. But whatever you do.. please do get a throttle with it as well. Without a throttle you only have half a HOTAS  ------------------

No doubt about it.. you'd be a fool not to go with the CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle  Lasts forever, is precise, durable, easily programmable, etc.. you name it, it's probably got it.. only draw back is throttle is slide motion rather then a***, forget the exact word.. starts with A.. where joystick curves round the circle idea lol.. I', looosing it!! Anyhow.. go with the CH Setup!

But some prefer a stiffer feel. If that's the case with you then grab the Suncom or also check out Thrustmaster gear. You probably can't go wrong with any of the 3.
