Title: sticks and nose bounce
Post by: bockko on January 31, 2003, 11:38:25 AM

hi all, need your experience. I have been using ms sidewinder stick, love it...xcept for the nose bounce. I have stick setting set for minimzing the bounce, but still noticeable. I also now own the saitek x45 which exhibits almost no nose bounce. Only thing about saitek is the rudder -- i am sooooo used to twisty's! So here is the quesion -- which sticks induce alot of bounce, which do not..is there any non-bouncy twisty?

i am afraid i will have to buy pedals............:eek:

Thank in advance

i use the saitek cyborg usb, its a twisty and doesn't suffer the nose bounce of the MS stick, which is what I had before

thks for the reply skurj...i just came back from browsing sticks, saw the cyborg. One question -- assuming you are a righty, doesn't the throttle arm block the shift button? maybe that arm can be reversed? otherwise I like the stick. Plus, its only 29 dollars:) .

thks, bockk

Yup the throttle arm does block the shift switch.. (which I use as my "UP" view).

BUT...  yes it can be swapped around to the other side of the stick, though there is another button on the other side which you will then block, but only on 0 throttle.
