Hi people, continuing my last topic, resuming :
lets see...with out FF we have good ones:
-VKB gladiator nxt exo(its works 100 por cent with fs2 like a user told here)
-Thrustmaster  tca captain pack( i guess its works with FS2,not confirmed yet)
-Thrutmaster hotas warthog flight( same here)
-Honeycomb alpha flight yoke, solid one (doesn't have force feedback but they do use a spring to emulate the feel of building up speed in a real aircraft, still dont know if is compatible with fs2.

With FF
-MOZA AB9(sended mail to this people and if they can test it with fs2),, lets see what is going on , and wich i can buy and recomend to the forum

fwiw any joystick should work. The windows standards for joysticks (directinput) haven't changed since windows 95.

Force Feedback is going to be a bit trickier. I'm pretty sure that FFB is still handled through the same directinput standard - very old racing wheels still work with modern racing games and vice versa. If that Moza AB9 works with other old windows games that have FFB, chances are it will work with FS2. Buuut there's a secondary concern: Since no ffb joysticks have existed for a very long time, there's no guarantee that force feedback in FSopen still works. It might've been broken by accident with nobody around to test it. This is unlikely, but still.

For my personal recommendation:
If buying a joystick specifically for FS2 I'd skip stuff like the Thrustmaster TCA captain pack and just get a single stick like the Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS. If you want to do some flightsimming as well, you could get the hotas version or just get the throttle seperately. I love flight sims and have a full setup, but for FS2 vanilla I actually prefer the "keyboard+joystick" approach. I'd hold back on the TCA captain pack unless you're serious about playing a lot of Microsoft Flight Simulator. I find the TWCS Throttle a lot more useful for "gaming aviation" (lots of ww2 fighter planes, jets and space planes only have one throttle control).

I do hear good things about the warthog flight stick but if you're getting it for FS2 you're breaking the bank for no reason. It's made for DCS and study sims. If you do play those as well as FS2, the Warthog is by all accounts a very good product.

Hi, thanks for your data, i only play space combat games,  Fs2 ,Starlancer, Taychion the Fringe,,maybe in next months spacebourn, i know that FF its a mess today,... mail from from MOZA team

our AB9 base is compatible with the following games

I reply them if they can test their product and FF with fs2 and still have no feedback from them----
So i`m in between Hartog (yeah i know its more for flight and not so combat sim..) or AB9 but  with out Hotas, i want just only the stick, but i will not buy ab9 that is so expensive if it does not work FF in fs2 that is my favourite combat sim,  as far i investigate T1600 is mid low range and Evo is far better( maybe i am wrong)..sorry for my english
