    Cyborg FFB

    Has anyone tried this?

    http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/cyborg_force.htm

    I wonder if it might be a good alternative to my Logitech wingman FFB. Don't know if I can face IL2 without FFB!

    if so....they need a power supply at Lan parties

    yeah that's the puppy. I still feel like a right nubber for forgetting the power brick... brought everything else dammit...
    It's a fine stick - I've had a few Clingy's with mine, but it's still working as sweet as when I got it... about June I think. the latest drivers give the feedback a real edge - makes it fun to feel the wings warping


    And.. speaking of LANs... when's the next one? We need more of these!!!

    So does my Logitech wingman FFB, so I'm used to it.

    I might give this a go.

    just for the record....Moby....get us a link for the one you have...

    cos ONE of them just uses USB with no power brick and the "feedback" is 1 millionth of a volt (ie USB powered)

    the other bucks like a bronco...ie 15v power brick thingy....ie Tumble and Dak's

    which is it matey?
