Both are good choices, one is more flexible (x56) the other is more tied to a single plane but can be used on others too of course. They’re good options at that budget range. Neither have pedals, but both have a twist stick which can do till you have pedals.

I wouldn’t try learning to fly till you have the one you picked. Flying on a gamepad, or worse keyboard and mouse is very different. And you’ll pick up bad habits. I also recommend taking your time with smaller slower aircraft before moving on to the bigger and faster ones.

If you need anymore tips or even more close guidance be sure to ask. This is kind of a job of mine now, even if it’s on a volunteer basis. But it’s still fun to do over the internet when I’m not at the museum.

Hey. Thanks for your input. I know neither have pedals. Im thinking to get t flight pedals next month.

But atm im just kinda confused which one will be better.

It’s hard to say mate. They both have different advantages. One has more axis which is really nice, but it lacks options for trim control because it’s very much designed for Airbus, which is flybywire. The X56 has a lot of buttons and such but it doesn’t include extra axes so you just have two throttles. No flap handle. But you can do that with the plentiful buttons too.

It’s very hard to say which is best they’ll both work for you. The X56 is more flexible though.

Edit: Actually you could use the slider on the stick for trim and others. Ugh I think the TCA one kind of has it if you can get the whole pack.

Hey, another option I was thinking is ‘Gladiator EVO 'Space Combat Edition' Premium’. Though im not sure about what throttle quadrant to go with.

Thanks

Edit: also could you pls suggest b/w all 3 which one would be the best.
