I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 Joystick, hasnt really been used in the last 6 months, As I am Just returning to the flight sim world from the 'Real' World ;D The problem is the main axis (this stick itself) Is loose, very loose, is there a way to tighten it or am I in for a new stick? its about 3-4 years old! Cheers, Gunny

I'd say it's time to upgrade. Mine's starting to go too, and as far as I know, it's not repairable. Only temporary solution would be to tweak the curves in the settings if it's exerting enough pressure when neutral to cause a bank or pitch-up. I'm picking up an x52 pretty quick, as they've gone down a bit in price.
