Hi,

Just bought Microsoft's Force Feedback joy stick today. I'm really pleased with it. has anyone else bought this product for their flight sim?
If so what do you think of it?

Thanks

James

Hi James

My First post here!

I've had my MS SW2 for a few months now after my CH Force FX was no longer compatible with Win XP. I also bought a new CH USB Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals to complete the setup.

It's a nice stick with a good feel to it and works well with the above. The FF effects seem better than the old CH model but then that's hardly suprising given that was over 6 years old! it's also a nice size and weight when compared to the sturdy but brick like CH Force FX.

I'am very pleased with mine but it's a shame that MS are now going out of the game controller industry. Looks like support for this product might suffer.

Cheers

Paul
