I think of buying myself some Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner Force Feedback, does anyone know that stick, is it good, does it suck ?

I've heard of it. I don't have it, but i think it quite good.

BE CAREFUL WITH THRUSTMASTER EQUIPMENT!

I have had three versions of Thrustmaster sticks throttles and pedals. $350  When they work, they work good, when they don't... I couldn't get ANY support.

In my case, I think it was the sell off to Guimont(sp) and they wouldn't support the equipment I had. I was out so much money!!! Then I found the Saitek X45.  I'll never go Thrustmaster again!

Yeah, I'm holding a grudge.

But to actually answer your question, they do work well.

Yeah ok, thx, i

The lack of feedback is not really a disadvantage, as a matter of fact I find it very unrealistic and I fly real aircraft ALOT so I know realistic when I experience it!

I also agree that FF is very unrealistic, which is why I never look for it.  In fact, I usually look for equipment specifically WITHOUT FF....

That said, check out the X-45.  Love it.

I have a Saitek Cyborg Rumble Force stick.... thats really good. Brilliant stick.
Chomprock would you say that was good? Its rumble force not force feedback.

I had a few years of good service from a non force Thrustmaster, scouring my local car boot sale found me my best stick by far, a M$ Force Feedback Pro  8) - Under

yeah i have a force feedback joystick but i dont use the force feedback because it doesnt return to the center then when you let go.. more realistic i think
