Replacement for ageing Saitek X52

If I had the money I would probably not regret a Virpil or VKP. Anything that with a realistic feel and some built-in dampening are nice. I am not a fan of a flight stick that oscillates / wobbles back and forth like a bobblehead. One “Positive” Note on the X56 that I currently own is that you can do a simple spring mod that will get rid of the centring “SLOPPY” feeling. I even saw some MODS that use RC Shock Dampers that claim to make a great helicopter cyclic. With all the new helicopters coming to DCS it may be a nice enhancement to have a cyclic with shock dampers. If you like to tinker and mod things the X56 can be a fun challenge.
