    Joysticks

    My trusty joystick has gone a bit floppy and no longer stands up straight when I take my hand off. Can anyone recommend a replacement?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      On that subject - does anyone here enjoy Flight Sims? I'm looking for the best joystick for use with X-Plane, preferably with force feedback. Can anyone recommend a good make?

        I've got a Microsoft Force-feedback and it's quite good. However for X-Plane I'd go for a Thrustmaster HOTAS setup.

          That is exactly why I am asking. I have a Logitech "Wingman Force 3D" but it seems to have given up the ghost.

          This looks OK

          This is a bit too expensive

                  That exposed spring puts me off and it's not the first time that Saitek have done that.

                  I like this one though... X65-F Combat Control System

                    Ah well that's good to know, it means I'm free to think you're an ill mannered little cock without feeling like I haven't given you a chance.
