Yeah, my old Sidewinder 3d pro. Still working like a dream with its gameport-usb adapter

My 'poor mans' X-52....

On the left is a Saitek ST200, which controls trim, gear, flaps, brakes.

The right stick is a Saitek Evo, which to be honest does b*gger all in FS apart from operate control surfaces, change views, reverse thrust, throttle mainly. I have all buttons mapped mainly for IL2, guns, cannons, bombs, padlocks, external view, internal view, map etc

The pedals under the desk are from a Genius Speedwheel setup running via a Gameport adapter to USB. They are my rudders. My only complaint is they are too close together.

I passed the 'idea' of getting the Saitek X52 and pedals package past the good lady yesterday whilst shopping. I don't think she was overly impressed despite my enthusiasm...

wow, i didnt even know games were compatible with more than one joystick!

hmmm

i'm using a microsoft precision pro joystick. easily the best joysticks ever made, the optics are far more reliable than using potentiometers- the pots on my logitech pedals failed within a year of minimal usage.

Brownbox, yep FS picks them all up, as does IL2. IDE 0, 1 and 2.

Zöltuger, What I meant was I haven't really mapped out many controls in FS to the buttons. The stick itself is as smooth as silk, and the best I have owned to date.

my saitek cyborg does wierd things

first of all the throttle keeps changing how easy the throttle is moved it's sometimes good or its sometimes to light.

when i put throttle to 0 it dosnt go to 0 on the planes it stays a little bit above you can see with the 747 that it isnt right.

I dont like the look of the x52 its like a stick from star trek ,ive got the x45 and evo stick set up with playstation steering wheel& pedels plus gamepad thats six controlers all up and they all work at the same time together no problem just plug and play,

i dont use the x45 stick because its so big and ugly and i havent set the spring ties up on it like the evo ,plus its no good for scenery placement {most important}
x52 has got rudder now and lots of big displays WOW and still looks like you should be in space
i cant amagine how it would feel flying a tigermoth with it the two seem 100 or so years apart ...

and this pic below is the great little ps2 to usb pc hub ,$18 from trademe and works a treat for pluging in the pedals and wheel etc

I've just got the MS Sidewinder Precision 2. Have had it for years and never had a problem with it.

It's pretty basic compared to a HOTAS etc and I would love to get a CH yoke setup but I don't know if I could justify the expense..

yeah id love a set of ch pedels or maybe the newer saitek ones ,but at the end of the day acouple of the guys around here talked about the steering wheel ones ,but i only had ps2 one and found that i could buy the above usb thingy to plug in with it ,
the only thing about them as they work like buttons not a smooth axis making chopper landings real hard.ive tryed different settings but no luck with it yet
all the same they do give you a different feel for it all ..

wow, i didnt even know games were compatible with more than one joystick!

[SUBS17]

I have a Saitek X45 plus I'm in the process of modifying a SUNCOM F-15 Split throttle by installing a Plasma Lite V2.

[Jimmy]

I'v just got a saitek cyborg 3d rumble force joystick. Got it for 40buks on sale down from $110!

I have ther rumble of as its just anoying and noisey, i'd love a seperate throtle and rudder pedals thow, and the ch yoke

[Alex]

I've got the X52 with the Saitek Rudder pedals.

Alex

[h290master]

I didn't get the rudder pedals for the X52 because it is another $200 extra
