    Joy stick question ?

    Currently use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stick and want to upgrade. Does anyone know of the VKB Gladiator Joystick? Hear it's pretty good quality and great for the price. I want a all in one unit and do not want separate rudder pedals or throttle. Is this a good buy or what should i look at ? My 3D Pro is starting to get loose and is making flying get harder after only a couple of years. Regards,Scott

    I have one and I can thoroughly recommend it. It is so solid, you could murder someone with it . Haven't found any issues or incompatibilities with and it is waaay cheaper than a comparable Warthog.

    Only downside is the throttle lever and only because I do not like the placement. Stretching across with the left hand to operate it. I have a separate throttle anyway (Saitek throttle quad an occasional use of the throttle part of my old X52). It is a right handed stick but not too much of an issue to use left hand with it, I tried.

    I have had mine almost 2 years with no problems to report.

    I have it seems colluded with the Russians.

    Thanks for the info. Will get one next week. Have my 3D Pro calibrated correctly and it still works but is sloppy and has to have a large dead zone. For the price the Gladiator seemed the best from the reviews i read. Can't wait to get my hands on one ! Cheers,Scott

    Sometimes they seem to be in short supply. The US importer sends out infrequent mailings when they have them in stock. This fellow reviews it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfYiUUZ2DaU
