Used to play FS retail on an ancient joystick that had an analog output. This was easily 6-8 years ago.

After I discovered HLP, I hunted around and finally found the joystick again, only to realize that the last computer that supported its plug got tossed 5 years ago.

So, mouse and keyboard for now, although I really do miss using the joystick.

What OS do you use? I've got my Precision Pro sitting here on my desk, and I still love it more than my Saitek.

Win XP with service pack 3, I've had hardly any problems aside from having to recalibrate on rare occasions (probably due to it's age, as it's about 10.5 years old). I bought a Saitek Cyborg X a few months back because I had a feeling that my old stick was on the way out, but I just couldn't get used to it, despite it being highly adjustable (which was one of the main reasons I got that model). Suppose I'm just too fond of my old stick.

It's this particular model, just to clarify: http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=554629#554629

Woah... I did a random search for a pic of that stick and I randomly chose one that's embedded in a thread which is also, in part, about which controller to use in FS2...

Used to play FS retail on an ancient joystick that had an analog output. This was easily 6-8 years ago.

I also used to fly with an ancient joystick with outdated output, two buttons with autofire swith below the secondary trigger (some old games require continous tapping on a trigger and autofire emulates it while trigger is pressed continously) and annoying centering spring with tendency to break. (I got it from my father who played Wing Commander with it, the first installment of which was a DOS game, which my father played in original, not long after it's release). WingMan force 3D is newer, but still quite old. It serves me well though, so I'm not likely to be getting a new stick anytime soon.
