Thanks to the powerful force feedback motor, you'll feel the action in your bones: weapon recoils, missile launches, explosions, and much more.
1 Will make you happy -- until it breaks
Although I ultimately hated it, I will say that this style of controller is quite a bit more usable than the standard PS2 dual shock for flying. You get stable set-and-forget throttle control, and one hand controls all 3 axes of motion. But it's plug and *almost* play -- it is severely out of calibration by default and requires recalibration every time you power cycle the game machine. After just a few hours of play the cheap internal trimpots got tired and I started getting unsmooth/erratic motion over the full range, making calibration a frustrating and finally impossible task. Also the stick has a huge amount of play that isn't helped a lot with center position calibration. For the price I didn't expect a lot but the unsmooth motion was a big disappointment. Bottom line, I will not be wasting my time on a flight stick from this price/quality level in the future!
2 It's an alright controller
I've purchased this controller well to tell you the truth, it's not what i had mind. I like flight simulators with a passion and i decided to buy this controller to play acecombat 4 and acecombat 5, but it doesn't work. It only works on airforce delta strike or unless there is another game that is compatible. Don't get me wrong it is a very good comtroller and it handles very good with airforce delta strike, but there's gotta be another controller joystick to play acecombat. If there's anyone out there knows a good controller for acecombat let me know.
3 Joe Blow knows not whom he blows
The other guys doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. He doesn't know the difference between his head and an anvil. Anyways, this product is actually pretty good if you know how to turn on your computer. That really helps with the whole product-user interface. Second, you have to install a game to play on your computer. Once you've done this you can configure the joystick for said game that you wish to play. Once this is accomplished you're on your happy little way towards gaming bliss.

Hey guys, what's up? Any Aussies here? So check it out, I really just want someone to send me a pet kangaroo. And maybe a koala bear would be cool too, and a wallaby, yeah. Actually if you could double it that would be cool too. Ok, so here's the final order: 2 roos, 4 wallabies ('cause it takes two wallabies to kick a roo's arse), and four koalas... I hear they taste good. Alright, cool, that should be it. Oh yeah, don't forget to put holes in the crate so they can breathe. And FedEx them, it'll be faster. ....I'll be waiting.

4 *Only For use Airforce Delta Strike*
The manufacturer says "It's perfect for Airforce Delta Strike and other PlayStation 2 flight games." This is not true. I purchased this as a gift for a friend who loves ps2 flight games. Before giving to him I tried to set it up to make sure it works, I could not get it to work with any other game. So I checked out their little compatability on their web site. I'm going to put this sentance on a next line so everybody reads it.
This joystick will only work for one game, it is not compatable with anything else, it will not work with any other flight game, or any other game that I know of. This is not only my opinion, but is shown on the firm's web site:
System requirements:
PlayStation¨2 computer entertainment system
Games that support Logitech¨ Force Feedback joysticks (see below)
PlayStation¨2 Games Compatible with the Logitech¨ Flight Force? joystick
Airforce Delta Strike? by Konami
Now I did get to hold the joystick and play with it a little, the cords are decent - Though keep in mind you have to plug it into the PS2 and a normal outlet, and it seems to have a fairly good grip. Though I noticed any time I pushed the joystick in one direction or another the power drain was so severe it actually interfered with video quality. This may have just been because I was drawing power from the same outlet, or it may be a flaw with the joystick. I can't tell you for sure.
That's all folks.
