HyperTextHero: Benefits of Throttle and Pedals

Benefits of Throttle and Pedals ➶: The main benefit of a throttle and pedals is that if you need to fly a real airplane at some point, maybe because you had no choice but to nick the local flight school’s Beechcraft, Cessna, or Diamond to escape in the nick of time, then having practiced with real controls means the realism will be there and you’ll be able to take off without requiring a keyboard.

Also, more buttons for everything so you can keep your Hands On Throttle And Stick. Even if you’re too lazy to map them, it’s reassuring to know they are there.

It’s also just nicer and more pleasant and precise, as others have said, especially if you use a smoooooth controller that moves just a little bit instead of a lot when you move your hands and arms just a little.

I like and recommend VKB devices.
