Title: fighterstick vs x52 pro vs x65f spring
Post by: nimble on February 05, 2011, 01:10:44 AM

I miss the tension my x45 spring gave, does anyone know which of these 3 has the most tension?

x65 can be set to need up to 22.1 lbs of force. The stick itself does not move though, it senses the pressure put against it. Takes some getting used to. The 52 wasn't bad, just shim the spring if it is too weak to add some tension. Will the spring from the x45 fit on a 52? It's been a while since i've used an x45.

The 65 DOESN'T move, it senses the pressure you put on it.

I don't know how I feel about that

the stick doesn't bring the force YOU do,   get the CH stick, everything else is second best (made in China trash).   ;)

Based on my short experience with it, you'll feel like you have a bad case of gorilla arm from over-pushing the stick until you get used to gauging the pressure your hand is exerting instead of feeling how much your hand has moved. From playing with it, I can see where the early F-16 test pilots got the overcontrol complaint -- with a regular stick, you have both the force you exert to hold its deflection and the deflection itself to gauge the position, and if you're used to seeing or feeling the deflection, a fixed stick just confuses your proprioception. It takes a little getting used to.
