Just bought a Microsoft Sidewinder Precesion 2.
Liked the feel and where the throttle was placed, using with CFS3 and works well ....... has a twist 'Z' axis for rudder (a must for fligt sims, ohhh to side slip !).
Almost bought a Logitech one ..... basic one from Argos is only £15 with throttle, but no Z axis rudder.
Tried force feed back, but don't like the 'realism' on CF3 .... doesn't feel like the real thing ! (My Airbus has no feedback anyway !).
