Check Ebay for some.  They always have a few listed.  I picked up a brand new (still in the box) FF2 in the spring for $100 dollars.  Worth every cent!

If I only knew, would have been a great investment to buy a stock of 100 of them.

Another MS SW FF here. I've been using it for the last 9 or 10 years, and it's definitely not for sale. I expect to use it for at least 5 years more  :)

Here is the site i was talking about
 http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=27947627&extid=SimHQSidewinder2

but looks like they are outa stock.

i have to think they were refrubished or something because when i got mine the hat wouldnt give me all the views, so i had to take the hat button off and file down one side of the plastic where it popped on the swtich to make it work.

I am also devoted to them. I have 3 :), already used 2 of them to a condition of not fully functioning, but just button problems. The 3rd one is still ok. When it fails, I'll just start switching parts. Already switched one card with buttons on the base. And one of them is a project with KG13 (THE Bf109 stick ;) ).

Yup, not selling. I could also buy some more  :cheers:

The best joystick I ever used. I have 2 but both are dead. I rebuilt the rudder and hat switch several times on both before the FF quit. :cry

Wish I could help. I bought mine 11 years ago and it's still going strong. Wouldn't let go of it for twice what I paid for it. I hope you find one!

Ya know boys there are very few of us that use these for this game!    I love mine,  it adds that little bit of extra realism for me(and Boxgirl uses my old one that i fixed)   but most of the hot shot super duppers wont use them because it effects they abilities to aim and fly...        I just cant imagine flying with a boring spring loaded crappy stick!

Wouldn't it be nice if AH2 fixed the bug with FFB in the  game and linked it to buffet sound rather then stall horn ?

I have 1 except it has a game port switch,i bought from ebay sometime ago,never used it. There is adaptors can buy and plug in MOBO for the game port but I never went that route.
someone interested I can get it out and take picture and post
I used one in AW and in AH 2001 but it broke. lasted a long time with many hours.

I guess the ones with the red switches last I saw some ago are limited and people paying big bucks for them

At least 2 of the older gameport prec pro's hilbly.

I personally much prefer the Sidewinder Prec 2. Its USB, has better button layout under the thumb (In my opinion)
And a lever type throttle instead of the disc wheel the PP's have.

Let me know if your interested Hlbly.

I have to be honest, it ruined my score when I went to an X-52 Pro. I lost the feeling of G's and now I can't lead aim worth a dang.
