I used to play Il2:CoD until my Logitech StrikeForce3d finally died.
Then I made a big mistake of buying a F.L.Y. 5 stick as a replacement.
The spring mechanism of the F.L.Y.5 was so strong that my forearms started to hurt after just 10 mins of ACMs.
Worse, after a year, the rubberized coating of the joystick started to react to the Philippine humidity and become sticky.
I'm still trying to find an excuse to convince my wife to allow me to get a new controller.

In the mean time, I have to make do with Shogun2 and Rome2 as well as Skyrim.

I _AM_ looking forward to the release of the ELITE: Dangerous remake though. When that baby comes out, I'll definitely get a decent controller, approval or no approval.
