Yes Jan. I recommend that you don't fall off. I remember you saying that you was a 2 wheeled pussy some time ago ;-) MS "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZVVK4.106621$[email hidden]...

Correct, that doesn't exclude, however, the need for a decent joystick to exercise my inadequacies with. Jan. =--- m.seery <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jm6L4.1308$[email hidden]... > Yes Jan. > > I recommend that you don't fall off. I remember you saying that you was a2

Oh well. Say La Vee.

I've tried the CH Force Feedback Pro and the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro. I liked the way the CH one felt, but the Microsoft one seemed a little easier to control after the feedback kicked in. I think this was due to the smaller handle on the sidewinder...it was easier to grip onto and not overcontrol. I suspect if I had used the CH stick more tho', I would've gotten to like it better. Also, keep in mind that I used both of these with flight sims only! Matt Jan Verschueren <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:QQlL4.116923$[email hidden]...

The Microsoft FF Sidewinder Precision Pro seems to be quite a favourite among game reviews and computer magazines. It'll be my next 'big buy'... Alpha Omega E-Mail: [email hidden] ICQ: 70300233

I don't think he's a ***that sit's on it. Hey, that's a great idea for a new genre! A *** sim with FF support! Must go now. Gotta go take a copyright for that one. And while I'm at it I'll contact Hyperstim.

It broke. Took it apart and this cheesy plastic molding held the third axis (twist) spring. This is a geavy spring which takes a hell of a force when you twist the stick (rudders). The plastic piece had worn out and the spring wasn't able to center anymore. Plastic peices fell into the works and started to affect feedback. CH FF is built like a brick. Opened it up when new, very tough design. Don't forget, CH makes sticks for the military. Buy the CH if you want ff. Kanga Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
