Basic joystic

[freakdiablo]

Just grabbed X-Plane 11 on sale, been interested in it for a while. I'm now looking for a basic, entry level joystick.

Like I mean entry level, don't know what I want and what I don't. $50 at most. Don't need force feed back. Don't need a 'detached throttle'. Just something that gets me into the game, and gives me an idea of what I like and don't like.

T flight hotas one. It's $100, but.... there isnt much less I'd get with a throttle.

I've had a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for many years & it's still going strong. It has a throttle & the stick twists for rudder control. Mine actually came with the game port connector with an adapter to USB, to give a better idea of its age.

THat's a solid one too for less... nice find.

I think thrustmaster actually has a couple around there....T Flgiht stick X or T1600 are a lot closer to $50.

I used one of those back in my Battlefield days. It worked great with plenty of buttons.

+1 on the Logitech. Have one I bought in 2009 still works perfectly.

I just use a bottom of the line thrustmaster, two bourbons and it's just fine.
enough buttons for me.

Actually forgot about this thread...

Got the Logitech mentioned. $35 with free shipping when ordered direct from Logitech, worth a shot

I'd like to hear your opinion once you get a little time in with it. You got a good deal on the price.

Sure thing.

I'm a little rusty on flight sims - or flying in games in general. Like the last time I did *A Lot* of flying was in the BF2 days. But it fits then, as it gives an "entry level yet old skool" opinion on an "entry level yet old skool" joystick.
