Damn you, Betty.
« on: October 10, 2009, 03:00:26 PM »
So my lady heard female voices while I was flying and wants to start playing. Before I invest in s CH setup for her, can anyone suggest a mid-priced stick, maybe 20-60$ that is uber noob friendly for her to learn on until she figures out if she really likes the game or not? She loves to watch the game being played(KEEPER!) but I don't know how much she will actually like playing once the learning curve hits in. Any thoughts?

Oh and damn you too Niros for making such an awesome video that my Dior obsessed girly got super excited about the game over!

Yup, I learned on tat stick, except for a couple akward button placements, and a little calibration, it was a great deal for the price ($20)

MS Sidewinder Precision Pro. If you can find it in USB all the better.

Decent ergonomics, 2-handed placement (one hand on base, buttons for that hand plus throttle) and it's fairly reliable as far as accuracy goes (no pots! all light/sensors for stick position).

I've had several Logicrap extreme 3D pros. They are pure crap, and the pots go to hell after a couple of months.

Sad part is, the ergonomics are pretty good (except for the hat placement).

Get her the stick that you would like to have.  If she drops out after a few weeks, you got yourself a backup.  Mean time she sees’ you spending equal money on her hobby….  Get her a good head set as well.  Lots of good cheap gaming machines available.

Gave her my older(last season) aurora R5. We decided to go with the new saitek cyborg, only other option was to get a logitech and I've had bad experiences with them. Hopefully it'll work well enough to see if she wants to stick with it!

I've had the same 3D Pro for 3 years now, and it still works fine.
