;D ;D ;D I love my MS Force Feedback 2.  Its worked perfect since I bought it and never required any adjustments from my original set up, but that Saitek X45 bears looking at.

Using Logitec Force Feedback Wingman 3D.  Had one without FF on my old computer system....worked great for years.

This one seems fine so far.

Eventually will get a CH flight yoke an pedals when the lottery come in  ;).

Unfortunately.... the CH is not force feedback..... and that will be a step backward in my opinion.

best,

Well ive had so many joysticks, bought some, returned, some broke, etc. Tried an old Saitek once, broke..had a wingman while back that was very good but now i got an MS Sidewinder Precision2, and i tell ya its a good joystick. Hat switch, 8 buttons, twist-action (good for rudders). Very comfortable too. If i remember well cost me $50, but worth it.

I'm using a Thrustmaster Fox II Pro-shock, but disable the force feedback. Can't find a retailer that sells these, had to buy from the web. It's better constructed than most others and I decided on it after the Logitech and MS latest and greatest both fell apart.

Seeing I only fly military or small Biz jets I prefer the Hotas set up. I had a Wingman 3D FF stick and it broke.

I then went to a X-35 which I still have but upgraded to the X-45 due to my new PC being XP PRO.

I love it
