Hi, I picked up this unit today, it blows away anything I've used previously.

Go here http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/down/sstdown.htm and download the software required for programming. The Help file is an invaluable tutorial for what can be done with the stick. Also would be helpful for you to familiarize yourself with all the keyboard entries for FS commands then you can program these into the sticks to save scrolling around your cockpit with a mouse looking for buttons and switches. Once you do it (program the stick) you'll find it quite easy and you'll see how versatile the stick can be.

I've yet to find a joystick that matches this little analogue beauty, alas, it only works on the 8Bit BBC Micro (Circa 1982 !)
