What do you fly with?
« on: October 06, 2008, 07:25:33 PM »
I fly with a TopGun Thrustmaster joystick and my keyboard.

What do you guys have in the way of joysticks, throttle, rudder pedals, etc etc.?

Saitek 290.

They are cheap, but I throw the old ones out and get new ones more often than I get hair cuts.

keyboard and mouse. I have a X45, but i only ever use it for other games, and i don't play any games a whole lot these days...so it sits around collecting dust.

Microsoft Force Feedback 2 (2nd edition, with the red LED and rubberized grip). It's the best twisty-stick. Damned shame Microsoft closed down their Sidewinder division. That was the only division that produced a high-quality product at reasonable prices. :)

I bought a backup because they're very difficult to find nowadays.

Bought set up when i came back to Aces in late may of 2007.

Costed 3 bills.

I used to use the old ?????  pre USB stuff which I think was made better. Had that for 7 years and no probs, constant use 30-100 hours a month.


        



And this on my head. It's about 7 years old, been stepped on, missing the fuzzy, missing the ear speaker (wires hanging out, stirred my drink with it more than once trying to break it and somehow  it still works

CH USB HOTAS setup: CH Pro Throttle, CH Combat Stick, CH Pro Pedals.  And despite what Eaglfart claims, I do not have modified Pro Throttle set up as a duel throttle.

At home I have full CH setup (fighter stick, pro throttle, pro pedals) stuck in a simpit. Been spending time on the road, so I got a AV8R-01 from Saitek. Seems to work pretty good so far with this laptop.
