yes i have an X52, but seriouly, if your gonna spend $200 on a joystick, you'd think it at least come with force feedback...

i paid $150 for empty boxes... with stuff on the outside of it ;)

I see they also have rudder pedals now - although the online price seems steep. Anyone used them yet?

Force feedback is only good in combat games, even then its rough..... I always wanted Force feedback, and I got the chance to get one.... ugh Try imagining flying with 2 hands and feet on the desk in FSX.... in CFS2 it seems to be more realistic, and they say FS series is 'as real as it gets' Since when do cessna's hop up and down?  ;D

Cessnas definately dont do that kinda thing...

I think the main reason to why FS has kinda unrealistic force feedback is because of the minor late reaction from the sim to  the joystick, and the fact that most of the .cfg file's force amounts are a little too high...
