Found a new Logitech Extreme Pro joystick for $39.95 at http://www.fspilotshop.com/logitech-extreme-pro-joystick-p-5613.html . Is there a big difference between the two ?

Good Joystick?
Hey Sixstirng, I have found my CH FIGHTERSTICH USB to be responsive, reliable and plays well with my other CH controls; but is not FF (force feedback). It does have 15 programmable switches on the stick, nice if you want to use your key board at a minimum. I also have the CH Throttle, Throttle Body and Saitek Rudder Pedals.
Best Regards,

For force feedback there is only one stick the Microsoft Forcefeedback 2 . Did have a Logitech force 3d pro or somthing like that, but Logitech products are not precise and have not a decent forcefeedback.
If going for non force feedback get yourself a nice thrustmastes T16000m this stick does have hall sensors and is cheap. Another good stick would be the Gladiator, it is more expensive and still in the pre-release phase

Good stick options for CFS3.
You may want to wait for the Gladiator ( see http://www.gostratojet.com/Products/index.html ) that is scheduled to be released into production 2nd quarter at a price estimated at about $90. I plan on buyn g one as soon as it is available.

I have used Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for many years. Great stick and very durable. Logitech also has downloadable Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) that is the best I have seen for key mapping to CFS3.

Done some researching and like what i read about the Saitek X52. A little high at $160.00 but you get what you pay for. Does anyone here use it ? Most of the good ones,(like CH), are way out of my price range,(Wife would not approve), and this one fits my budget . Not looking for force feedback unless you could simulate real g-forces... Wish i could still find a new Sidewinder as mine has lasted for many years. Thanks guys for any help . Will wait for the Gladiator to be released and see what it features . But like the X52.....
