Good, Stable, Beginner's Joystick

There are few games I play that require a joystick. I love playing flight sims but am typically more attracted to other types of computer games that seldom require them, so when I hooked up with my old buddies on "Aces High 2" I needed a decent, working joystick to replace my old Gravis Blackhawk analog stick that stopped working on my PC years ago. I drove down to the local ubiquitous low-cost super store (you know it's name) and this was the *only* joystick that they had in stock. This made me...

great straitforeward stick with no driver requirements(it's plug and play)

The stick is good for space sims and casual aero sims not for AF nuts or Falcon 4.0.It requires no drivers despite what reveiers are saying it just plugs in and windows XP(SP2) detects the stick no prob!The twist roll feature is the best sytem for doing banks and is easier than using a stupid rudder pedal.the only "special equipent" you need is probably a separate throttle system(but a separate USB port means it does not work in Space games as they only allow one controller at a time)The unit is...

useless in XP, at first

i installed the two XP driver options from the website, as well as the software from the website, and this thing is useless.windows recognizes the stick, but the special software doesn't.it keeps saying "plug in the controller now."i need programability.i also tried it on a separate system running XP home, to no avail.unbelievably sucky, considering it says "designed for Windows XP"i finally got "ST290Pro_beta.zip" drivers and software to work.waaaay too much work.here's crossing my fingers that...

Almost perfect

Does not function with Microsoft Fighter Ace II, but works with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, do not know why.And it is not as comfortable as it looks.But otherwise is OK....
