I recently sold my MS Sidewinder FF 2 joystick...

why did you do that?

Never I would sell my beloved FF2, the best stick ever for fly with propeller aircrafts!

The FF2 stick have only one handicap, the power supply cable.

Il-2 Sturmovik with FF2 stick, a keyboard with enough programmable extra-keys, pedals and TrackIR (for sure) brings the perfect feeling for PC-flying.

Btw: My Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 stick works completely perfect since eighteen years!

I'm so sad about the decision from Microsoft to give up the heads up to keyboard, mouse and other stuff for good game playing.

Best regards

Yeah I hear you, it was a stretch to get rid of it, seeing how reliable and good it was, for what it was. My wife bought it for me in the early 2000's and it never gave up the ghost.  Worked great for all those years. The G940 with pedals and dual throttle quadrant is exponentially better though, in my humble opinion. Way more buttons, external trim wheels for all axis, actual pedals, AND FF.

Mine are Logitech "Pro Flight Rudder Pedals"

A very good choice!

The only thing I had to do is have something to push them against. I laid down a board against the feet of my desk.

Ha-ha, the old known problem when the floor covering is parquet for example. This problem does not exist with a "high-woven" carpet.

My Saitek pedal comes with such a support, so you don't need a wooden board.


With thanks to Otto and Mike,

so which are the FFB joysticks available now ?
does it in your opinion give superior feeling vs no-FFB ? I now use T16000
