One thing - using my usual MSFF it was hell to control, I'm guessing I'd
need to crank up the sensitivity to use it. I was using my Logitech
Interceptor joystick / CH Pedals combo for B-17, and thought I'd check out
how SBK2001 was with those - TONS better in control, and it was a blast
(other than the auto-braking).
May have to grab this one....
