Flight Stick? Any Reccomendations

[Hammy]

Okay junkies of flight.

What is reccomended for fighter games?

[Duke{CLR}]

I haven't played any flight sims in years but I would get this set.
X52 Pro Flight System


I did pick up this one for my son though. It is inexpensive and still has a good feel.

Hi Hammy

I've been playing IL2 Sturmovik flight sim now for over 5 years.

The best controller I've had (until it broke) was the Microsoft FFB 2 IMHO, you may still be able to find on ebay. A few guys in squads use X52 but I cannot say anything for them or against them as I never owned one.

I do own a Logitec Extreme 3D Pro FFB for a back up but my son now uses, but I've been mostly using the past couple years is my CH Fighter Stick, throttle & rudder pedals. The stick is a replica of an F16 stick. CH has been very good to me with no problems and I highly recommend them. I know another reason I went with CH is their customer service and warranty. Check out their website.

Only ever used one and that was the X52. I actually read your thread title as 'Fight Stick' and wondered what the hell you were up to.

X52 Stick and throttle FTW!!!!!

I had those same pedals Sgt. Rock. They were great until I wore them out. At least my Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 still works.

That is the exact one I have and like I said....you wont find better

I used an Extreme 3D Pro for flying in the BF series. It worked pretty well. Unfortunately, I can't use it along with my Nostromo N52. There is some conflict that causes the joystick to not function. I haven't used a joystick in a while.

My opinion: it isn't worth the money for the X52 unless you plan to use it a lot...

So I guess when I bought a $400 Yoke/throttle/rudder kit for FSX which I use like once a week was a waste...I knew I should of listened to the wife

I had that in my hands last night and thought of you Mad.
You just saved me an email!

And Recon- I love you like a little brother and it is my job to beat on you a little. I know what you meant, and I was kidding :d

Sincerely, how are those grades?
