Getting back into it...Help ?

<< < (3/3)

Thanks Pat it does help, now since I've been away has there been any new joystick releases ?, in the market for a new one, the Logitech 3D Pro is getting a little old, not TM Warthog expensive though.

Well, I use a Thrustmaster X. It comes with either a T-throttle unit or without. My lovely wife uses the one with, I use the one without. It still has a slider for the throttle, just not a whole separate, disconnectable (physically, still has a cord between it and the joystick) assembly. I think I paid about $30.00 for mine, and 55 or $60.00 for hers.
Just google joystick. You'll get more results than you can shake a stick at. My biggest recommendation for a joystick, all things being equal, is to get one with Hall Effect transistors, instead of potentiometers. They work a LOT better, and don't get dirty, like pots can. More accurate, and you can set the Null Zone to zero, and the the Sensitivity full right, and just leave them there. IMO, much better than a joystick with pots, as we called them. Yes, I was an electronics geek :)
Have fun!

Will do bud,  your right those LSO's are tough, very realistic, heard them alot while on CV43 in the late 80's

PhantomTweak:
Paddles, the name of the creator of vLSO, did (and still is doing!) a great job. Just be aware, the updates to it have been coming hot and heavy lately. Keep an eye on the blog page where you can download it from, or the thread for it in this forum, to keep up with the latest.

Good luck, and enjoy!

I have a T Flight Joystick and even a T1600M, not crazy about either, have come to conclusion that if the Logi P3D Pro had a throttle and Hall Effect sensors it would almost be perfect.
