@Alligin:
I have both also.
65F throttle is not ergonomic. Lots of buttons but some are too close together.
The twist grip rudder is a waist of time IMO. I bought rudder pedals.
^^ spot on for all that.
Throttle is not ergonomic, it resembles the F18 throttle shape-wise, but I don’t see that one being ergonomic either.
Some hats are close together, but after completing the transition, there are no issues with pressing the wrong one, unless you have hippo fingers.
I don’t know how the twist rudder works, I’ve always used rudder pedals and wasn’t aware falcon doesn’t detect it.
I do not have the luxury to bolt it down (long story) so I’m using a profile that allows it to be used that way, and it can be done.
For the Cougar (unmodded) vs X65, the answer is a no brainer (IMHO). For a fully modded cougar vs x65, it gets trickier, but not mentioning the price difference, I’d still pick the X65 for the split throttle and extra buttons/controls.
For the Warthog vs X65, I’d still pick the X65 for force sensing, price, and extra buttons/rotaries ON THE THROTTLE vs ON THE BASE.
Am I biased? Definitely, OTOH, we all are.
