Sucks=Logitech....... But, Sounds like some of these guys got a good 1, it lasting 3 weeks and all. The few i tried lasted 2 weeks or sucked right outa the box. Gas ,drive time, time lost flying etc.. returning pos sticks , exchange or not. cost more then a ch setup.

Im not doing it no more here soon, its worth the300.00- 400.00 dollars for a good stick setup. Heck it comes to your door no going no place lmao! Little money really, considering its a Long term investment for a hobby, not to bad.

jetb, you can always disable the twisty function if you cannot adjust

Edit: I have an evo

I use a twisty and don't have any stability problems at all.... I can't imagine using pedals! Been using the twisty since MS made the the first Sidewinder.

get some old thrustmaster pedals off ebay, got mine real cheap, or build your own, the twisty is great for learning but getting pedals allow you to get to a whole new level.

If you have money to burn there is no other option than CH FighterStick, CH Pro Throttle & CH Pro Pedels (alternate option is SIMPED pedels, they are more expensive but better).

Any other choice would be foolish!

Next best setup is Saitek X45 or X52 with CH Pro Pedels.

Clifra, your quote from Clint Eatwood is incorrect.

I got a Saitek Cyborg Evo Force back before Christmas, and I love it. I've had Logitech's dating back to Air Warrior in the late 90's, and have never been truly happy with them, reliability and and smoothness are very lacking.

I wish I could afford and justify the CH stuff, but I just can't. I'd love to have a feedback yoke and rudders for P-38 flying, but the price is just too much.

I remember trying to fly with keyboard rudders, for me it was just a lost cause. The single biggest thing is to make sure you don't make rudder inputs when they're not needed, and make sure your natural wrist action does not reverse the rudders. Both will kill you fast.
