Spending a lot of time looking for a new Joystick to replace the Old MS Sidewinder P Pro.

 

It looks like we are limited on what we can buy with lots of stores out of stock and if you look on auction sites, the price of joysticks are a lot higher than the shops , Maybe the lack of stock is down to shipping over to the UK due to Covid.

 

Watching lots of reviews on Youtube of the THRUSTMASTER T-16000M FCS Joystick and the THRUSTMASTER T.Flight Hotas 4 Joystick & Throttle , The THRUSTMASTER T-16000M FCS Joystick sounds a lot better, But listening to reviews, everyone picks up on faults, Like the Throttle on the Hotas 4.

then there is a Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X (PC but its another 3 weeks before they arrive in the UK, If it does arrive and thats via Amazon.

 

Any you simmers in the same situation and any thoughts

They have spoken to me very well about the thrusmaster tca, take a look at it, what happens is that it is something great.

With a budget of £1800 you should be able to build an absolute monster of a PC

 

 

Here is my build. Its totally over the top just for FS 2020 and does not have a graphics card yet, but it includes a keyboard, TWO SSD's, RGB components and case, so you could easily shave at least £150 of the cost which currently £1482.03.

This PC will be easily capable of running FS 2020 at high settings and probably any game you can mention at reasonable high frame rates, even at 1440p.

 

Add in a decent RTX 2070 graphics card remove one of the SSD's and the keyboard and you would be around or below you £1800 budget.

I have not bought the graphics card yet as the RTX 3000 series will be released in September. Its likely that either NVIDIA will be in a price war with AMD or the current RTX 20XX cards will drop in price once they are released.

I am looking to get a RTX 2070 Super or its RTX3000 series equivalent and that is likely to cost no more than £500.

 

Your £1800 will build an absolute monster if you are prepared to build a PC yourself.

All the parts I selected above are absolutely top quality so it is a PC that is likely to last years before requiring an upgrade.

An exceedingly powerful pc for any game, I have the RX and it's a graphics beast

Haven’t tried them myself (been looking around myself for a headset), but the Corsair Virtuoso RGB headset gets good reviews. Battery is rated at up to 20 hours for wireless, and sound quality is rated pretty high. They can also be connected over USB or regular audio cable. Might be a little higher than your price though, at least for the SE model.

Comfortable and very good sound, the only downside is that when occupying the entire ear, after several hours you break a sweat and it is not comfortable at all.
