Joystick Suggestions

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

I am looking for a basic joystick. I would like to hear some
suggestions and reasons. I am not into combat so super fast gun action is
not an issue. Full flight controls as realistic as possible (considering
price) would be important. I am also interested in your comments. While I
might not mention I want a widget control, you experienced users may need to
educate me on the the subject.

Thanks

BTW I did look through the messages still on my server, but there were
only a few and they did not seem to address my issues.

I just bought a Saitek Cyborg Evo for about 40 bucks. One of the better ones
I have owned. Just stay away from Logitech, and you will be fine.

Too bad the Sidewinders are no longer available.. can recall going to
a number of stores to shop and compare the FF and non-FF MS sticks.
Finally after many days of indecision, went with the Std Sidewinder 2.

there was another choice..Logitech but can't remember much about em'.


Actually.. have the Nostromo n50 SpeedPad set-up for many AutoPilot
functions and like it a LOT (although not so real).. and a very old CH
Products Ministick (gameport) that comes in handy.

p.s. the CH yoke and pedals set (gameport) are packed in the closet.

Saitek Cyborg Evo here, too. I love it, it's a beautiful joystick and
it's extremely functional. It's even completely ambidextrous, and can
be adjusted in lots of ways to suit your hands.

Saitek X45 combo. Cheap and very good. Lots of button functions to program.
All kind of views. Rudder, Diff breaks. POVs, Throttle, etc. I love it.
Maybe on bargain because of new model in shops.
I do all kind of commercial a/c. No shooters or weapons.
Airbus is on flightstick. Why not me ?
