What control device are you using? Just curious...

Folllowing a dialog with Dirtman I became curious about the control devices the SOH members are using in CFS.
I mean joystick, thrust handles, pedals or any other home made controls.

I'm in the way to buy a new one (thanks to Dirtman:d,again...) and would be great for me to know some of your prefferences.

I currently use MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 1 (oldy i know). Due to broken a/c adapter have no FF as well as a center point:banghead:.

BTW What you think about ForceFeedback, regardless to frame rate loss? Does it work for you?

Greatfully yours
Pawport

PS I bet similar topic was already on forum some time ago and as I don't want to be boring forgive me if I am so.:redf:
 
Hi pawport!

I use a Saitek X-52 Professional Flight System... it's expensive, but I wouldn't have it any other way...

FF is annoying... don't bother...

My previous stick was a Logitech Xtreme 3D Pro... good stick... but mine was defected...

Just go ahead and google up saitek and have a look...:running:
 
Ch Pro ..........Thrustmaster

I had both CH Pro and Thrustmaster....................................

both are good......

It is all what your finances will allow.....................
 
I have a Saitek ST 290 Pro joystick with center twist rudder input. 6 buttons. Nothing fancy....which is what I like about it....less parts/gizmos means less stuff to break/stop working. This stick is very adjustable to fit your hand and finger length.

My back up stick is a Saitek Cyborg Graphite. 6 buttons, no rudder input.

OBIO
 
I am using the X-52 too to my great satisfaction...once you set properly its many buttons to your flight style preferences. And, by the way, I previously owned a Logitech Xtreme 3D Pro too! :)

Noey clitchy and always worky awesomely likey shouldy

Older Thrustmaster 3 piece set. Attack throttle, Top Gun joy stick and Elite rudder pedals. Pretty old but still work ok with older OS's. Would like to update the setup to something newer that works off USB maybe, but need some more spare dollars first.
 
I have a Saitek Cyborg Evo Non-FF and it's worked pretty good through the years, but now it's getting a bit sloppy. It's getting loose around the center, and when Im not touching it there's movement. Also the 90 degree hatswitch position is starting to die. :banghead:

Theres a couple of used X-52s on ebay I'm keeping an eye on, but if I can't get a hold of those I'll probably buy a Saitek Aviator.
 
An old (1999) MS Sidewinder, (I think). The detents for the rudder twist are broken, so it doesn't centre properly, so it makes for some "interesting" takeoffs......:gameoff:
I suppose I could use the Logitech wheel and pedals I've got for Grand Prix Legends, but then I'd have to just fly bombers...........:a1089:

I really must get something newer......
 
It seems Saitek X-52 made to the top of my wish list!

... my takeoffs likewise, for other reasons. Too rookie to fly and too old to learn:d
I also tried to use my kids F1 wheel. It doesn't have pitch control so any way had to play with 1 hand always on keyboard... annoing...

What a way to change the subject!:costumes::costumes:
 
Thank You guys...

... for dropping by and help me gettin an idea.

I tried yesterday Logiteh 3dpro and it's really great. Small but steady.

Saitek will remain in the zone of the dreams until :
primo: Hit a Lotto
secondo: Get more free space at my desk for pedals and throttle.

Once more thanks
