Hey,

Just joined the Zephry net, nice to find people who love FA also, used to play every day for abouot two years straight, then loaned cd's to someone and they got ruined. Anyway just purchased another copy, I havent played in years.

What's the best joystick or joysticks, that are reasonably priced(Under $50) for FA. CD's are on the way (ebay) and I wan't to get a joystick that will recognize FA or vice versa(I hope I'm explaining myself right)

Thank You In Advance
LuvBones

Hard to say. Depends on your machine.

I used to have the Saitek setup with seperate joystick and throttle. I highly recommend it.

I am currently using a Wingman Extreme Digital 3D in lieu of the Saitek I accidently broke.

Go with the Saitek. I think its around $50. A good investment, to say the least.

Thanks, but which one I look on e-bay and there is several, are you talking about a particular one your recommending? There's what I'm assuming an older one the x45 then there's a new on the x52 which is a little more than I wanted to spend but looks real cool.

I was referring to the X45. It'll be expensive in stores, if they still carry it, but it should be a whole lot cheaper on E-Bay.

Saitek has refurbished X45 joystick and throttles for very low prices.

You should get one!

Just curious: was that directed to me, LuvBones, or both?

Loved my old X45! In fact, I still have it, but it's broken.

To anyone that wants an X45 or X52...

And you may be able to trade your broken one in for a discount on a new refurbished stick...
