First HOTAS — what would you recommend?

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to buy my first HOTAS, but I’m not really sure which one to go for, so I’d love to hear your recommendations and experiences.

I’m mainly looking for something that:

-isn’t too expensive — I’d like to keep the price reasonably affordable

-has good build quality and is reliable

-is comfortable and enjoyable to use for longer gaming sessions

-works properly on Windows 11

-is as compatible as possible with IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles and IL-2 Sturmovik: Korea

I’m not necessarily looking for the absolute cheapest option, but I also don’t want to spend a huge amount of money on my first HOTAS. I’d rather find something with a good price-to-quality ratio that I can enjoy for a long time.

So, what would you recommend for a beginner? Are there any particular HOTAS setups or models I should look at, and are there any that I should avoid?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

German belt buckle, cartridge holder and totenkopf

Found these in southeastern Poland about a year ago while metal detecting. I believe the belt buckle may have belonged to a German military soldier or militia member. The cartridge holder appears to be for a Mauser rifle (or something similar), and the Totenkopf is obviously from a German officer's cap. I'm not sure whether it's an original piece or a reproduction, though. I'd be interested in hearing your opinions.
