checking out a new joystick - thrustmaster airbus

Dont buy this joystick for air combat, it is a T16000 with a revers thrust modification to the throttle which makes it next to useless for combat. Im relegated to using the keyboard for throttle. Only solutions are to get a refund send it back or to buy a separate throttle unit.
