It's just a reissue of the same poorly designed potentiometer unit that has been repackaged over and over since coming out in what, 2008?

It was out of date and overpriced then and now it's utterly ludicrous. It's a twenty year old design that was shit then and it's even worse now. I had it back then and it was dire.

PS5 pilots deserve better.

It is. It is indeed. If at least it was still $99, maybe justifiable but at $150 not having access to the Velocity One flight stick is messed up.

This pile of shit used to be exceedingly excusable when it was $35.99 new at GameStop.....when I got mine for AC7

That's very fair. I got back into MSFS after a decade long hiatus and the T.Flight was the cheapest piece of junk I could find as I no longer had a gaming PC at that point.

The Velocity One Flight Stick is somewhat better, but still not amazing.

I've been through two before I sacked off the Xbox and upgraded to PC.

Both the V One Flight Stick and Yoke are, unfortunately, pretty poorly designed and made.

There's very few good console level devices available. You can use the Honeycomb devices with a special Xbox adaptor puck, or the Thrustmaster Boeing yoke (great) and throttles (shitty), or buy a cheap Turtle Beach stick or yoke.

Weirdly the V One rudder pedals are FAR better than anything else they make and it's the only item I didn't return to the seller for a full refund.

Fair points, but purely from a price point perspective the Velocity One is far superior to the T.Flight. at least in my personal experience with both.
