T16000M FCS
and TFRP
both by Thrustmaster are a good combo and will only run you for about 200.
This guy did a pretty decent review on it.
Or you could do the TFRP pedals with the x-56 AND a trackIR included in the combo on amazon if you don't have one and it will run you just under 500.
The warthog stick and throttle and the TFRP pedals will put you right at 500 via amazon if you don't need trackir so there's that.
I need to get a life.
The best I've been able to find is this doc: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71a8WBq01pS.pdf
Which you can find linked on the amazon product page: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Gaming-Saitek-Flight-Rhino/dp/B01LX398IE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491692701&sr=8-1&keywords=x56
Which says:
> Valid warranty claims are generally processed through the point of purchase retailer during the first thirty (30) days after purchase.
Mine shorted out about four months after purchase. I was denied RMA because I was out of the warranty period.
Your cheapest option would be the Thrustmaster T-Flight. In your price range the Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS would be a good option.
I myself use the throttle (TWCS) of the T-16000M FCS together with a Cobra M5 because I don't like that the T.16000 stick has a lot of buttons on its base, which is annoying to me/of no use in battle. But since you are in the USA (I guess, if your budget is in $) that is not really a option for you since the Cobra M5 is a europe/russian thing it costs much more in the states than here (I got mine for sub 50$, then it is worth it).
For a higher budget the x56 Rhino can be a good option, though the quality can be questionable.
If you are still unsure about your options visit /r/HOTAS, they know a lot and can help you narrow down your choices.
Yarr, they are;
Saitek X56 pro.

Basically the thumb analogues were thought to be just... A ridiculously silly gimmick. Until we got our hands on them. They are pointless for flight sim guys, but space sim, holy crap they are just... The world of difference. You can bind the thumb on the right stick to throttle and you literally have dual joystick, the left you have another one. They can be to X, Y, etc anything you want really! Its really neat and they are just... Mind blowingly awesome.
They're pretty awesome... Fine control sticks if you want etc. The problem with HOTAS' is that the throttle is too slow for rapid reaction in space sims, but the throttle is really awesome for slow landings etc still.
My bad! I forget that PS4 CMDRs don't get to use the good stuff!
16000m FCS
X56 Rhino
I'd give it a 8/10. They not overly pretty but works great -- for me. Fits my hands pretty good. Thing is these things are easy to pop open and fix anything if you so inclined. Lots of youtibe clips to show you how and support wise CH will send you POTS etc. I think you get lifetime warranty (I maybe wrong there). CH real business is industrial joysticks, not gaming. I am more annoyed they have not refreshed the product line.
Not sure if you guys have ebay, but you can get it cheaper like that.
Even in the US CH products new are not cheap. link. Same price range as X56
Anyways, I am not trying to convince you. Check out some reviews, see what you like. People that dont like CH either dont like the joystick lanes, the look and rare cases ergonomics (for me they are very comfortable).
I respect how you guys interact with the community and even approach others if they have problems. But I'm sorry, I have to disagree that product quality has been sufficiently been patched up now.
It's an average of 3 stars across from multiple review sites.
I'm not doing this to prove a point. But I would recommend that Logitech approaches these reviewers to help the situation and help your company's reputation.
Hmm, anything eh...
Well, after playing quite a bit of Elite Dangerous lately I'm getting more and more tempted of trying to play it with a proper hotas rather than keyboard and mouse. So what I would like is this Saitek Pro Flight X56 Rhino HOTAS costing 250 bucks.
It would also finally give me an opportunity to finally give a go at one of those scary hardcore flightsims.
This.
Or
If you have Amazon Prime:

Otherwise not worth it.
ask at /hotas, but i'd rec the cheaper thrustmaster hotas 4 (it has minimal deadzone (upgraded electronics board) compared to hotas x) or the 16000m fcs (has hall sensors) is also a good choice (but I don't like all the buttons on the stick base) :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kXmbkwVyTQ
The x56 is also worth a look but its pricey. But it does have a thumb hat on the stick for games like star citizen and elite dangerous for 6 DOF. not critcal for arma 3 though.

of course you could buy a hotas x/4 and upgrade to hall sensors, and add more buttons and and a teensy 3.6 like I'll bet doing, but if you will be keeping the hotas x vanilla, check out joystick curves which may help reduce the deadzone.

Sadly there is not perfect hotas out there, all of them have many pros and cons, you have to watch many youtube reviews and decide what you are willing to live with VS the cost.
