I was using my x-52, which is a very good stick btw, but after a couple months of using it, I could not seem to improve my dogfight ability. Got fed up and went back to my Fox2 Pro. Fighter skills are much improved.

Suggest you spend a little quality time with any of the trainers in the training arena (TA). You might find that X-52 just what you need to get better.

It's on my desk (CH setup with throttle left of Keyb and stick on right). If I'm talking to you about the one I'm holding on my lap... I'm probably being rude to you.

I put it between legs, and use a drawer for the throttle:

My new X 52 is too big to put it there, so I'm looking for a new position, but I don't want it on the desk... (un)luckily I have time to find it.... I had to send the stick back

Jaxxo, when will you keep your promise? I'm waiting for that ride on an F 16....

Donzo thats pretty sweet setup..you married guys are gonna need a basemsnt or a spare room cuz that thing is ugly

Lol, Jaxxo, thanks, unfortunately I live a bit far away from you...

Yes, the setup Donzo linked is very nice, but I wonder when will have support for this in Aces High

Lock on already supports it... it has only a flaw... the price!

3dvisor + TrackIR

Resolution on the 3dvisor is 800x600 - playable.

I confess I gave only a quick glance at 3Dvisor site, but I thought you don't need TrackIR to use it, it should have its own head movement tracking system.
