I havn't seen that one before... I will be interesting to see how the force feedback is, seeing as you know what its like for real now!

Well my old joystick has a twistable viewfinder on the top of it so you can move 360 degrees around the sim, it goes in a circular motion. I have included a Image of this;

If you dont get me,well....

What im wondering is, will my New joystick have this feature as well?

Many thanks again.

The joystick in the comet link has a hat switch, so it should have that feature.

It's called a hat switch

Before i got my x45, i used the older one i believe of this joystick. Very good, i dont use the force feedback No reason in particular just didnt find it all to realistic. The twist element is very good. well worth the moneu. so the new one should be to.
