I've got a slightly older Microsoft force feedback joystick than the one pictured above, and it drives me crazy. It may just be a setting that I've missed or something like that, but the force feedback just gets annoying.
ditto
I since acquired the Logitech one as described above - no problems since - good ridance to the feedback. Only gripe is that it doesn't hold its position - with the MS j/stick you could let go of it and it would stay in position - can't do that with the Logi as far as I know. But it is a lot smoother and I love the cordless aspect to it. Good price too.
Unfortunately, this causes the throttle on the screen to move to full throttle, though the control on the stick doesn't move.
err..ditto
