Hey guys
I've had a MS PPro USB for about a year now and really like the feel and stability of it. I wish it had a 2nd hat & a few more buttons, but those are relatively minor concerns. My only persistant problem with it is the twisty-stick rudder. I've gotten fairly comfortable with using it & don't think I'd be able to fly again without a rudder control, but it's just not where I want it to be. Has anybody with the same stick had any luck with the setup? Getting it to where the twisty-stick isn't either horribly heavy handed or too slow to respond?
thx

I've been using the same MS Sidewinder stick since mid 97 flying in WB's now in AH. I will note they do take a bit of tweaking (game software) and feel better after the springs soften up a bit. My only real problem is it wont hold a 6 view very well anymore, keeps flickering... but then it is the most used thing on the stick (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
