What is a really good stick? Pedals?


Hi Nyal,

After wasting money on a new Logitech joystick, which is junk, I did
some research. Turns out the stick of choice is the Microsoft
Force-Feedback 2 (must be a 2!). No longer made, but you should be
able to find a good used one on eBay. That's what I did. For pedals I
got the CH-Pro USB. They work just fine. Except I did not like the
strong spring self-centering. So I removed the springs (don't try this
unless you are handy with small parts that are a challenge to
re-assemble). Still not perfect pedal feel, force feedback pedals
would be best (have no idea if they exist), but much better than those
springs.

Regards,
