Yeah like I said back in December I couldn't find it anywhere, the Saitek website didn't even have them.  Hopefully the one you got wont have the same problem that mine has.

PM me in a couple weeks, and I'll let ya know.  

I was just tellin' ya about the availability in case you wanted to go buy a different stick w/out force feedback.

Yeah I like the force feedback stick, it gives you more of a feel for the plane, the only reason I'd get a new one would be so I wouldn't have to re-calibrate it all the time.  I'll send ya a pm to see if yours is like mine with the re-calibrating.

They will start spiking inside of a couple of weeks. I had 3 of them before I finally gave up on them.

Maybe you had a friday joystick cause mine wotks great. Its alot better than the Saitek. and if you spend the extra 7 bucks and get the replacement plan for 2 years you can trade it in when ever ya want and get a brand new one for nothing (bestbuy)  has those plans. Just a thought.
