Does anyone use this joystick https://realsimulator.com/fssb-r3-lighting/.

Looking for a review.

Thanks

I had a look at the realsimulator joystick.

Looks great but expensive by the time you add the controller to base etc over 500 Euros...

I was pretty happy with a Saitek Cyborg for years but felt like an upgrade so chose a Thrustmaster T.16000M.FCS which is a step up although bulky in the hand in my opinion. I preferred the feel without the hand rest. So not perfect but very good with  many programmable keys which the realsimulator stick doesn't have - a distinct disadvantage.

Looking at it, it is a force sensing stick, not a conventional gimball activation stick. 

 

Basically, it is to replicate the unique side stick setup of the F-16, so I'm not sure it would be a good match to a WWII era game. If you are looking for force sensing stick reviews, you would probably have better luck in a Falcon 4.0 or Falcon BMS related forum, or the DCS Viper subforum. 

 

On high end gimballed sticks, Virpril and VKB both have high end conventional tilting bases for a variety of applications, but they aren't Force Sensing Basses, if that's what you are looking for. 

 

Good luck.
