After more than ten years of honorable career my Extreme 3D Pro needs a replacement  do you have any suggestions? I was thinking to buy the X52

Virpil, if you can afford it. https://virpil-controls.eu/
Thrustmaster hotas warthog would be a reasonable alternative. https://www.thrustmaster.com/en-gb/products/hotas-warthog/
If it shall be the X-52, go for the pro. It's precision and durability easily outmatches the non-pro version.

Great thanks I will check them out. I didn't plan to spend huge amounts but the stick is important and yes the X52-pro was the initial choice

Wow the Virpil is quite impressive I wasn't aware that something like that existed is that designed to handle drones?

I suggest this:

I have it with SCG grip and a 10 cm extension....is simply FANTASTIC!

I can see is quite an investment and do they have the throttle control as well?

In this case I suggest this:

https://vkbcontrollers.com/?product_cat=gladiator-nxt-joysticks

The best value/cost/performance atm....and have rotary ontrols for throttle....or dedicated add on....

Unfortunately the vkb controllers were closed for the Chinese New Year and they wouldn't consider an order before 29 of January plus the normal difficulties in getting a shipment from china these days. So i settled for the X-56 that I found with 30% discount (wonder why) that would match the price for the x52pro. I got it today and is even too much for my capacities. It seems more a tool for an x-wing fighter rather than a TGA or early WWII birds that I usually fly. Does anybody have an II-2 profile as the stock one downloaded from the Logitech site seems very basic and wouldn't wont to spend a week to programme the 356 buttons that I have now available. Thank you in advance
