Around 200$. Link wasn't working, now it works. Also, I want a twist in the joystick.

So... any of you guys know anything on this joystick/throttle or have other suggestions?

Just get the extreme 3d pro

 

It has twist control for the rudder.

What about a throttle?

Just use the one built in to it.

Why is it impossible? I can't afford pedals.

Well you need to balance helicopter using rudder all the time and it is impossible to do it correctly using rudder twist, I have played flyght simulators for thousends of hours and I can't even take off with helicopter using rudder twist wihout crashing.

If you have wheel you cna use pedals from it or you can get joystick which has rudder on throttle, sadly companyes that makes joysticks stil haven't realised that rudder twist is worst way of controlling rudder and there are only 2 good joystick whihout it.

1. Thrustmaster flyght hotas X which is not that good and throttle clunks in center posision which again makes it almost impossible to fly and removing it is risky and you loos warrenty but it has rudder on throttle and rudder twist can be disabled using screw.

2. Thrustmaster hotas warthog best joystick out there but it is pretty darn expensive and you need pedals as well.

 

Sadly there is only one good joystick on the marked an it costs 300€+pedals.

 

I would reccomend you getting joystick with different way of contoling rudder even if you can't physicaly block twist ( yeah it is annoying even when it doesn't do anything in the game) 

 

X55 is amazing joystick (best throttle on the market) and I want one myself :D  but wihout rudder pedals it is not very good.

I only want it for Arma 3 and that isn't much of a problem.

Yeah but I don't like it very much. Also, forgot to mention for Star Citizen to.

Well I play flight sims a lot, I played them since I was 11 and I use T flight hotas X.

I wanted to upgrade but there is nothing I would rather get (well thrustmaster warthog is nice but too damn expensive) X55 is awesome but rudder twist... 

flight hotas X is very good for its price and good enough even for sims like DCS.

For 35€ it's really good

Well there is much more buttons than you will ever need for ArmA, I played almost every flyight sim on it and never had issues with number of buttons.

 

Yeah, I think I will get that one. But I can't find it anywhere for Canada. D:
