Need new stick...Bad! Any suggestions?

[BigGun]

for the $$, i think the Saitek X45 is good, I really like it & haven't had any problems.

i've used PPro (1)  and saitek cyborg USB  Both work fine in AH BUT the PPro is too sensitive IMO and prone to nose bounce, no matter how you tune it
The saitek won't last as long, but its $25 cheaper here in canada.  $55 vs 80 for the PPro
(been awhile since i've seen prices if they have changed)

Here's a thought, and possibly a solution!

What if I sold my old Fighter Pilot's helmet on E-bay? Then I could use the money from that to buy the Cougar!

Damn, I love that helmet, though. It's the Vietnam era helmet with the Black pull down visor, etc....

I wonder if I could even get enough for it...

You are gonna trade an authentic but useless helmet, for a replica joystick that you are gonna use a lot.
Seriously, next to the Cougar, all other joysticks look like toys.

I own a cougar (serial number 4081), and it is much nicer and definitely smoother than either my FCS, my FLCS, or my F22. Guess I am a TM-slut eh? Anyhow, if you want someone to vouch for the Cougar, consider it done. If you are interested in some used gear (I also have a TQS) let me know, I was thinking eBay though since I can get more than retail there...LOL...but it IS a hassle.

If you can scrape the money together, go for the Cougar. You will not regret it. Failing that, I'd suggest a USB Saitek, but use Dhauzimmer's drivers (available from SimHQ) rather than the Saitek ones.

Alright! I ordered the Cougar. And when my wife flips....I'm blaming you Bastards for talking me into it!

Hey, someones gotta take the fall:D

Meanwhile, My gentex Fighter Pilot Helmet went on e-bay.

Here is my shameless plug if anyone wants it. Bid now! Bid often!
