(Dear mods, I hope this is the right place for this query but please feel free to move it if there is somewhere more appropriate.) I gave up flying some few years ago but have needed to scratch the itch again in a way that doesn't crucify my wallet or time, so I've been thinking about simming. I don't have the hardware at present but my lovely daughter wants to buy me a top end HOTAS joystick and rudder pedal setup for Christmas! trouble is, neither of us knows which is best/most suitable.
She herself has posted on one or two forums and it seems to becoming down to a choice between Saitek and Warthog. As someone who used to enjoy old stick and rudder flying, these look a bit 'fast jet' for me, but I suppose that's just appearance, as long as the functionality's the same. Now she's asking me if the set up is materially different between the two, and I haven't a clue!
Any simmers out there who can offer some advice here?
