Emphatically YES!! The stick is of a quality I would expect from the aircraft industry. It is cold steel and will probably last longer than me. The throttle control is like something out of Darth Vaders bathroom and when the green LED's light up, it is an attractive sight. I was a bit surprised by the amount of play in the throttles though. I expected the same quality and precision that went into the stick, but it is still within acceptable parameters. Now all I need is the DCS A10c game and I suspect the wife will be asking for a divorce (presuming I am not so engrossed that I even know she is home). Give it a try if you are serious about simming, it is worth your while.

This joystick set up is amazing. A prefect companion for DCS and flexible enough to suit any flight sim or space sim game. For the helicopter simmers out there you can even get extensions.

Build quality is excellent. Can't comment on software as its basically already set up in DCS world which is what I use mine for. Overall a 10/10

This is a very high quality and awesome piece of equipment if you're wanting to do simulators. If you have the money then this is great. The one downside to this for me is the lack of twisting joystick. Soon I will get some pedals but would have been nice to have the twist for being at such a high price. But it's very sturdy (and heavy) and mostly made of metal.
