Joystick?

[PP Mguire]

Any joystick users on here?

trying to get used to mine, i have a Saitek. Cant seem to decide between left or right hand though (ambidextrous)

Was never a fan of Saitek devices honestly. I now have the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro after using the Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D for 10 years. It's way different and I'm trying to get used to it, even though they are so similar.

What flying games do you play?

 

[maddangerous]

Freespace 1 & 2
Freelancer
X2 - the threat
X3 - Albion Prelude and Terran Conflict
Spaceforce - Rogue Universe
LHX
Microsoft flight Simulator


thats all i can think of off hand. am i missing any you would recommend? im always down for a good flight game, simulator or not.

and how about you, what flight games do you play?

 

[PP Mguire]

All Descent games
Falcon 4.0
Flight Sim 2004 Pro (hate the new BS)
About to get into Star Conflict (maybe)
Flying in BF2/3 (which I suck at now)

Non-flight games
Mechwarrior. Joystick is good for those games.

This goes here.

Here is a comparison of my 10 year old Wingman and my new 3D Pro.

You know Freespace is a Descent game right?

You know Freespace is a Descent game right?

yeahh.... brainfart lol. i did think there was one that was not though. ie just descent.

 

[PP Mguire]

Oh yea, Descent 1, 2, and 3 are just standard Descent games. Freespace is made by the exact same people and the only thing that's different is it's in space rather than in mines.

Edit: Btw, Descent is my favorite PC game probably. If it was technically possible to Hamachi up and coop I would totally do it.
