Review Summary

The button placement & feel are very realistic. I say this as a former F-16C/D instructor & operational test pilot. It's tough to emulate the pressure transducers (0" forward, left/right 3/16" & aft 3/8"). The movement of the stick is more like most other fighter/attack/trainer aircraft, which is OK.
