    Where to buy...

    I thought this morning, "hey, i want a new game, how about a flying one?"

    i remembered seeing people here saying how good a game htis is, so i thought i'd give it a go, and headed off into town.

    i can find IL2, and the aces expansion, but not the damn game, anyone got any ideas where to get FB?

    also i need a budget joystick, any reccomendations?

    Ekundo, Amazon has got the Forgotten battles game, plus there is an excellent thread on the forums above for joystick help, plus i've just written a getting started in il2 guide to try and help questions like yours.

    Hope it helps

    U can prolly pick it up online..

    As for joystick, get something like the Saitek Cyborg, I personally wouldnt go 4 force feedback as I dont like it and theres no point in going for something like an X45 incase u dont like the game...

    Seconded! Just picked up a Cyborg EVO. The feel to it is amazing. Just plugged it in and inreased my airborne skill by 200%. (Still s***e though ). And all for £35... Bargain

    I'm a big Saitek fan but that has a digital throttle which I don't think that I would like. See if you can find another £10 for an ST290 or EVO
