Which joystick do you use?

Maybe including an image in your post would be nice!

That is NOT a force feedback stick, despite the flashy label.

Proper force feedback is when the centering strength of the stick is dependent on factors such as the speed of the air passing the control surfaces.

That stick is best described as a rumble stick. It just shakes about when you fire your guns.

Aside from that; avoid this stick at all costs. They have a horrible record of losing their center, stopping working, having bits fall off etc.

second hand from ebay for 106 Euro and modified. Smooth and intuitive handling.

nice to see I'm not the only nutcase that did this, I had almost exactly the same setup before the g940, I used a leo Bodnar controller board as the guts to mine.

Microsoft force feedback 2, the finest Joystick you can get.

Excellent quality for the low price. Wish it had a few more buttons/sliders. Has a nice rocker lever on the throttle which I mapped to the rudder, since I cannot stand using the twist for rudder.

I'm using a CH Fighterstick and CH Pro Pedals.

I think the stick is a little too large for my hands. I really have to stretch my thumbs and lift my hand to get to the top switches. I think I should of got the Combatstick instead. I like more buttons and less 4 way switches.

I might get the throttle too at some stage.

The real thing to do is connect the 2 halves, place them on the left of your keyboard drawer, buy a MS FF2 and place it on the right as your primary stick. I used to use just the T.Flight but MS FF2 is just so precise and has basically no dead zone. Then you can use the T.Flight throttle and rudder control and you have all the extra buttons and hat switch on the T.flight joystick for activating my WEP, airbrake or whatever. I also have one of the axis on the stick mapped for analog wheel bakes.

+1 (on both counts!)

Simply the best, and still going strong after years of quality enjoyment!
