?*Suggested Joystick for use with MS FS2004*

Postby Jametiks » Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:43 am

Hey,

I just currently got my MS FS2004,right now im using the standard Keyboard and its not that fun because of the slow responses..egh.Anyway,I figured a Joystick would be best to get the most out of it.Im stuck though,I really dont know what kinds are good.Ive seen those Logitechs Freedom to the Microsoft ForceFeedback and all them..but I dont know.
I'd like to know what you guys use and your comments.Also,some recomondations...although I dont feel like spending much for a Joystick,something good but mid price range..I think my limit for getting a Joystick would be around 30-50ish.
THanks! ???

I use the Logitech force 3D, this joystick is very good.  It includes force feedback and twist stick rudder.

i use the logitech wingman extreme 3d and had it for 2 years now.. great joystick

ps make sure you get one with a third axis so you can control rudder. a throttle control also comes in handy

I would buy a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold. (In fact, I did!) It is an excellent budget stick, it has Rudder + throttle, but is not force feedback. I bought mine for
