I am using the joystick indicated above. I understand
from other posts that it does work. The question is how
well does it work? In my case, I find the joystick to be
very sensitive to movement. Does anyone know how this
joystick compares with other joysticks as to overall
effectiveness? I am really finding it difficult to
progress in the program because the stick does not
repsond the way I think it should. Any suggestions anyone?

Jack,
The 'average' combat pilot sent to do battle in Europe during WWII had 300
hours time behind the stick of his aircraft. Give yourself a break. Spend
some time trying to master the game. Maintain a log book. When you have 300
hours behind that stick, give me a jingle, and we'll play Fighter Ace.
Because then, you'll be ready!
Good Luck,
Bumper7
