Guest thrasher Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Guys After reading a few of the F S threads I decided to buy FS 2004 as the newer X version would not have suited my ageing laptop. Has anyone got a Logitech Attack 3 Joystick ? I have been finding it very touchy or is it just me. The weather has been wet so I thought I'd have a go again at a Flight Sim as my old 98 version didn't run to well on this newer computer Am having fun on day one checking out all the features. I also bought Combat Flight Sim 3 but havn,t Installed that yet got both for the price of FS X Have many of you played Combat FS 3 & wot did u think.

Yenn Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 G'day Thresher. I am using a Logitech Attack 3 joystick with FS 04 and it worked well for about 2 years, but has since played up. 2 of the buttons tend to stick and the roller at the front stopped working. I was using it as a throttle. I got it going again but it will gradually slip back to lower settings. It seems to be a case of cheap and nasty.

Guest thrasher Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Joy Stick Hi Guys I have now changed the other one for a Extreme 3 Pro which gives me rudder control which helps when taxiing a tail dragger... Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fozzy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I use the Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick. I occasionally have problems with the cordless receiver but it is more convenient if I want to transfer the game onto larger tv screen. I have seen a joystick with a separate control for power which I though would add to the realism. It was around $200 so I left it in the shop. Any joystick with a rudder and power controls should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastmeg2 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'm using a "TOP GUN FOX 2 PRO" joystick which came in a package deal with the FS2004 package in March 2006 for about $90 total. It has plenty of features including throttle slide button and rudder yaw control by twisting the stick one way or the other (That feature would be nice on my trike in X-wind landings). I've also downloaded and installed the Vista Oz packages (www.vistaoz.org/), which helps with the scenery, as well as a freeware FA-18 from I can't remember where, but it's a hoot to take for a blast through the Grand Canyon, 500kts at 50ft & bouncing off the walls occasionaly. No I don't fly that low in the real world. . . Has anyone found any good trikes for FS2004? Cheers, Glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prwood Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Glen, try the download libraries at: http://www.avsim.com, http://www.flightsim.com, or http://www.simaviation.com. These sites have thousands of free download a/c, scenery etc. I'm sure one of them would have a trike or two. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
