Should Saitek make a pc game controller resemble the space shuttles controls?

It would be cool if Saitek could make a game controller that resembles the space shuttle controls, so as to work specifically for SSM2007. ;D

I'm just wondering if that seems okay to everyone, or is a dumb idea. ;)

I with they had a THC on the market. unfortunately for us the Market is so small, R&D would make the product expensive and un-financial.

For the THC, the Up/down and Left.right axis's are taken care of, but forwards and backward, you will need to make a custom axis for pushing the stick in/out.


Actually, I think there is something that could be only marginally modified to suit our needs. I'll investigate it later today.

I think that would be extremely helpful as well, instead of trying to figure out a normal joystick. For me it took a while to get everything working the way I wanted it to without second guessing myself. Though, uri is right, it would probably be too expensive...great idea though..
