    New Stickage :D

    Well my old Cyborg force finally gave up the ghost - wouldn't auto-calibrate any
    more, kept losing FFB

    So

    I got a new stick - An Evo

    what a beauty - doesn't need any drivers (XP recognises it straight away) No FFB (I won't miss it tbh) and more buttons and adjustments than you can shake a stick at

    All for 35 smackers

    Splendid

    Holy crap

    I can't stop stalling

    No resistance, one second I'm turning, slightest backpressure, and I'm tumbling like a sycamore

    All is forgiven FFB

    Yeah, I have mine set to 0 for the first band on all axis (what IS the plural of axis?) Then I grade up to 70% by band 9 with 100% at band 10.... that way I've got nice gentle control for the main but full deflection if I want it.

    Edit: Gah... the boy gone done it already...

    Hmm that looks like one nice Joystick.

    How many buttons/switches has it got on top of the stick looks like hundreds

    7 - including 8-way POV switch and trigger, and 6 more on the base
    + throttle (although i'm not overly keen on the throttle position)

    Suppose it's matter of personal preference. I like the throttle position on my Cyborg 3d Gold, don't really like the throttle at the back cuz I have to play with my stick on my leg (stoopid CRT!) so the throttle at the side is much better for me
