Hey,

I just currently got my MS FS2004,right now im using the standard Keyboard and its not that fun because of the slow responses..egh.Anyway,I figured a Joystick would be best to get the most out of it.Im stuck though,I really dont know what kinds are good.Ive seen those Logitechs Freedom to the Microsoft ForceFeedback and all them..but I dont know.
I'd like to know what you guys use and your comments.Also,some recomondations...although I dont feel like spending much for a Joystick,something good but mid price range..I think my limit for getting a Joystick would be around 30-50ish.
THanks! ???

I use the Logitech force 3D, this joystick is very good. It includes force feedback and twist stick rudder.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

i use the logitech wingman extreme 3d and had it for 2 years now.. great joystick

ps make sure you get one with a third axis so you can control rudder. a throttle control also comes in handy

AMD athlon XP2800+ @2.34ghz&&Epox 8RDA3G 400 fsb, 8x AGP&&1024MB DDR400 PC3200&&XFX 256MB FX5950 Ultra (oc 525/1.04)&&40 gig maxtor 7200rpm&&80 gig seagate baracuda 7200rpm&&

I would buy a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold. (In fact, I did!) It is an excellent budget stick, it has Rudder + throttle, but is not force feedback. I bought mine for £22.99 from www.gameplay.com . Saitek's UK site is at http://www.dxmarket.com/saitek/dir/1.html . All the URL's are fairly uselsess if you aren't in the UK, but saitek gives details of all their sticks. She is a smooth operator, good value too.
Hope this helps make a hard Tongue

decision,
Dan

P.s. Gameplay can be very trusted! Wink
