Sfrost Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm looking to a get a fairly cheap force feedback joystick for IL2 1946 and have been seeing these 2 joysticks come up a lot. I've found mixed reviews for both so i'm not quite sure which 1 to get. Any1 got any ideas which i should go for or if there is a better alternative out there?

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted April 29, 2012 2. Administrators Share Posted April 29, 2012 Msffb2 all the way, by far the better stick, imo best around full stop you'd have to take mine out of my cold dead hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hello Sfrost, interestingly, I used the Saitek stick for about five years and was well happy with it until I got my paws on a MSFFB 2. The difference was night and day. I agree with Fruitbat completely. Remember, E-Bay is your friend; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/forcefeedback-2-joystick-/170833093933?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_JoysticksJoypadsGamepads&hash=item27c672252d or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Microsoft-Sidewinder-Force-Feedback-2-Joystick-with-installation-disk-manual-/160791890551?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_JoysticksJoypadsGamepads&hash=item256ff18a77 Good hunting!

1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted April 30, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 30, 2012 If your able to check the part number on the under side of the stick, X08-******** were the last model made. The X05-******** was the unit made prior to the X08. These are suppose to be the best two available. I've only used the two, so I don't know if that is true.
