Welcome to our ultimate showdown of budgetfriendly flight sim controllers! ✈ In this video, we pit three popular entrylevel joystick and throttle devices against each other: the Logitech G Extreme 3D Pro, Thrustmaster TFlight HOTAS X (and HOTAS 4), and the Thrustmaster T16000M FCS HOTAS. Whether you’re a beginner pilot or a seasoned simmer looking for an affordable upgrade, this comparison will help you find the best joystick and throttle for combat flight sims like DCS World.

In this video, we cover each device's performance in a helicopter flying test using the OH6A Loach mod, AirtoAir Refueling (AAR) in the F16C Viper, rippling x6 AGM65D Mavericks in the A10C Warthog, and finally dogfighting against a Su27 Ace AI in the F/A18C Hornet. Through these tests, we will see if each device has what it takes to flight sim on a budget!
