This is well made gear, and makes the flying much more realistic. I can now do side-slipping curved approaches realistically, and aeros are much more like the real thing. But the software as delivered didn't work with CFS3, and interfered with my control column. It took about 4 hours of fiddling, and reloading updated Saitek software off the website to get it up and running properly. Not best pleased to get out of date software on the DVD. But worth the effort.
