What Joystick For IL2?
I might be considering buying IL2:Forgotton Battles, but I assume you need a joystick. What one would you recommend, and where from?
Thanks Mike

I'll probably go for a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold, but I can't find anywhere that sells them. Anybody know a store? Or would the Evo or Platinum be better?

Saitek Cyborg EVO......deffo worth the extra £5 over the Cyborg Gold/Plat
The hat switch is bigger, the spring on the base is stiffer and its......ACE

Platinum... I know I know.. but PC world had them on the shelf... and both times I've bought one, I just couldnt wait any longer.
I tried the EVO out for shape, but just couldnt get to grips with the throttle at the back of the stick. Personal taste comes into it more here i think |

Has anyone tried this stick ~
http://europe.thrustmaster.com/produ...hp?p=T62&fam=6 I'm considering it as a replacement for the increasingly cranky Logitech Wingman. And I can't consider Saitek - I bought a Cyborg 3d force a while back and it completely screwed up my PC. Saitek - never again (their tech support are crap too). The one time I did get the stick working though, it was very nice. Anyhoo - any opinions on this Top Gun AfterBurner Force Feedback Joystick nonsense. It looks cheap and nasty, but then so do most of them.  'Make mine a Spitfire, Landlord!' |

They had problems with the FF on that a while ago.
I don't know if they sorted it out with drivers etc. There was a non FF version which was OK for about £35 but for the £60-70 of the FF i would say that the X45 is better (far more programming options). |
