    What are you guys running for controls?
    Im new to flight sims but a simracing freak for years so i know hardware is only limited by your budget.
    Im currently using a logitech extreme 3d pro joystick but ruder axis is not working so im looking for something a bit more immersive but nothing too expensive.
    I get by using buttons on joystick for rudder so i can go without a pedal set but would like a more precise throttle input option.

    I was looking at the thrustmaster T flight Hotas on argos but seems everything is out of stock, anyone maybe selling anything? :)

    I was going to buy the thrustmaster airbus ones, and I am certain that Amazon originally had them releasing in September, but I can see now it says 22nd October. :(

    I actually picked up a Thrustmaster T flight Hotas X tonight from adverts for €25 as ive been watching adverts numerous times a day in the hope something pops up.
    They are amongst pretty much all flight sim hardware sold out everywhere a while now with stock only expected in October on ocuk etc so for €25 i cant go wrong in the meantime.
    I got it to tide me over but im well impressed with it, much better throttle and trim control with it plus that all important immersion factor.

    I just ordered the stick only from the TM website. It's dispatched by UPS. Throttles are delaying the orders. Im gonna see how I get in with stick only before I consider throttle.

    Delivered today. Much neater than my saitek setup (but thats my fault for not having a dedicated space.)

    Yep sold out everywhere , most not expecting stock until October.
    I spammed adverts multiple times a day until something popped up.

    I received my thrustmaster TCA today. bought direct from them about 2 weeks ago. used with x plane 11 (demo), FSX & il-2 .

    Actually have a Q around x-11. will it come down in price now that FS20 is out? $60 is the price of the joystick and the only reason that I will get it is to have something that I can use on mac
