| 778424 | 2009-05-31 01:29:00 | Yea, mainly FSX, but also other games like Midtown Madness... The Logitech one: Ive seen some pretty bad reviews about it... And I thought Genius was one of the worst accesory maker of all time? |

| 778425 | 2009-05-31 01:51:00 | I use FSX & have also had most of the earlier MS Flight sims. I have had a veriety of joysticks but none of them ever felt right flying the fixed wings. I gave up on them & just used the keyboard until recently when I lashed out on a Flight Yoke. Only way to go. With FSX the Helicopters have now become more usable & I find a joystick is better for them. I have a Logitech Wingman Force which I find very adequate. I have seen them go on trademe for as little as $25. If you are on a budget, I would say your biggest problem with FSX will be getting a decent frame rate. It can be a hungry beast. |

| 778427 | 2009-05-31 02:29:00 | I use a Logitech on FS9 and FSX and have not had a problem in several years of use. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 778428 | 2009-05-31 03:40:00 | Driftwood: I just got a brand new pc using my life savings (ok i admit, its an exagguration) so frame rates are not a prob. How do u manage to fly the Boeing F18 with full afterburner using the keyboard? I tried and crashed the thing. Went back to the logitech LS1 laser mouse. bob_doe_nz: Yea, i realise that, my friend had that joystick, lets just say that the joystick died "peacefully" (After being smashed to the ground from a flat in the cbd) Pato: Im looking for something under $30, |
