T_O_A_D Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think it was Snacko that mentioned the Micro FFB on Ebay today. I just almost won it. Made two bids in the last seconds. Up too $75.01 and got out bidded in the last 3 seconds. Poop!!!! Well if it was one of you, Enjoy it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Keep trying. IMHO it's still the best stick that you can own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted January 15, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I gave up trying to get one on ebay a while back because that is what kept happening to me - very frustrating, particularly on the fourth attempt. I put a comment on the Zoo relating to this and a number of replies came back saying that people collect them for two reasons, for spares and for selling on. Not bothered now as I won't have a use for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I agree it is satisfying to win the bidding by a couple of dollars but if I really want something, I will enter a large bid just before the end of the auction. If that stick was any good then I would have entered something in excess of $100. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted January 15, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Bloody hell, I've got 3 of them. Was given one a couple of months back that has barely been used, no box though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 15, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Microsoft FFB2: They say it's a fine stick... I got me one, but was disappointed with it... But that's just me, because I got one of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Microsoft FFB2: They say it's a fine stick... I got me one, but was disappointed with it... Are you nuts FT?!? Did you use your FEET to control it? I had the original MK.I, the FFB Pro with the old 15-pin interface, and it was great and lasted me 10 years. Then I managed to get hold of the Mk.II recently, the FFB 2, and it was a great upgrade. If I had one of the many other numerous, non-FFB sticks, I think I would forget about IL-2 and play 'Lemmings online'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediteo Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Lemmings, I bloody love that game. Spent my the first 10 years of my life playing that (was two when it came out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not as good as the Guillemot! It's FFB too you know! Why's Ms FFB not that good? Them feckin' gears! Guillemot has rubber belts that bring the forces from motors to the stick, much better, no grinding at all! You just can't beat that!

APHill Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ft You say that is a Guillemot? I have never heard of that stick. I assume you like it a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Iv never used ffb , even on sticks that supported it I turned it off, as I think its far too much in IL2. If my x-45 failed Id probably get a ch fighterstick to try but that looks a nice piece of kit FT ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gec Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 i had microsoft sidewinder stick (no FF) many years a go and did not like it ether. i wonder; if the MS FFB cost's so much why not buy ch fighterstick? over a hundred key press combination's with included SW! same thing is with Cougar. A bit of planing and u have real Hands on throttle and stick (assuming that u have a throttle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 i wonder; if the MS FFB cost's so much why not buy ch fighterstick? Because you can "feel" the aircraft begin to shutter as it approaches a stall, that and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
