Joy stick or? (by 2 users)


posted by rqtoo on Jan 17, 2008


I have Microsoft Flight Sim 2002 and I am having no success flying using the keyboard, so I need something better. I am not interested in flying fighter planes or engaging in air battles and shooting at others. I am a serious learner and want to be able to properly control a 747 as easily as a Cessna. Can you give me some advise on what product would be best suited to my needs and why. thanks
I have the same problem.

Also I have had poor control using FS2002 with keyboard control, and also want to use a joystick.
If these joysticks are no longer available (or break),
how does one load the driver for a different joystick? My daughter who is a geek could NOT get web drivers to load properly. Also FS2002 does NOT recognize any joystick I have plugged into the USB port.

I have a Saitek X-45 that I use. It comes with a throttle and joystick. It's controls are very smooth and can be adjusted for increased firmness. There are a lot of programmable buttons that work great for FS2002. The only draw back is the joystick does not have aileron control by twisting it, you have to program a rocker button on the throttle. Unless of course you go all the way and buy foot controls. It looks like the X-52 is the updated version of my controller but it isn't cheap. The X-45 works good for what I need it for.
