Title: Looking for a joystick
Post by: Robert on January 22, 2003, 07:52:09 PM

After a long lay off i've decided to start playing again. I need some ideas on a new HOTAS and i dont have $300+ to spend
on CH or TM stuff. Im running WinXP and looking at the saitek
but i've read some bad things and good thing about it and XP
together. Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
RWY

I use one of my 3 Logitech joysticks... all had the twisty axis break within a few months.

if you want a joystick that is solid, built-in rudder, then get sidewinder force feedback 2. im 1000% guarantee that you will get more kills with that stick.

If your on a tight budge get the MS Sidewinder Prec 2.

Everything you need on a single stick for under 50$
Also they tend to last a bit longer than the cheaper ones.

Hiya RWY!  Hope to see you up soon.

I have to ask, what happened to your X36 in your cockpit?

I still have it. It is sitting out in the garage taking up space. The wife put a stop to all the maddness. I figured i would have a better chance of getting started again if i just asked for the joystick rather than bringing all that back inside.
