I havn't seen that one before... I will be interesting to see how the force feedback is, seeing as you know what its like for real now!

[Jimbo]

Yeah maybe i hope its as real.....how generally is the force feedback on saiteks?...Good?...Pathetic?

Cheers

Well my old joystick has a twistable viewfinder on the top of it so you can move 360 degrees around the sim, it goes in a circular motion. I have included a Image of this;



If you dont get me,well....

What im wondering is, will my New joystick have this feature as well?

Many thanks again.

The joystick in the comet link has a hat switch, so it should have that feature.

It's called a hat switch

[Jimbo]

AAAaaahhh a HAT switch is it called then, and that will enable to view 360 degrees around the airplane then?
Sorry for been Dumb, you must excuse me!

Cheers for your help...

Yep, it should be able to pan 360 degrees around the airplane and cockpit

[Jimbo]

Great....i was worried because i ALWAYS use that "HAT" switch to "PAN" around the Aircraft....Hope i got it on it!

All these new words...

Many thanks  stephend

Before i got my x45, i used the older one i believe of this joystick. Very good, i dont use the force feedback No reason in particular just didnt find it all to realistic. The twist element is very good. well worth the moneu. so the new one should be to.

FAB!

I have a current saitek at the moment but thats wear and tear after all the flight hours ive clocked


LOL
