What a huge disappointment this purchase was. I had been looking forward to playing Aces High 3 and spent a full day trying to get the pedals, throttle and joystick to work. I can't explain it but it just wouldn't go with my computer (Asus I7 8 core, 16 mb, GTX Geforce 960).

It's ok it seems it was for my son

Goes fine good value for money

Nothing makes a flight or space sim really sing like a hands-on throttle and stick (HOTAS) setup. Thrustmaster's $200 T.1600M FCS Flight Pack combines joystick, throttle and rudder pedals in one lovely entry-level package.

While the number of flight simulator and air combat games is diminishing, the need for a good joystick for these games is still high priority if you enjoy soaring above a virtual world. Five years ago, air combat games were a little more popular as they often showcased amazing graphics and visuals.

Magnetic sensing offers greater precision; Ambidextrous design - includes button swapping; Nice fit in the hand - buttons are well placed; Multiple axis always center; No software installation required

Feels a bit "cheap

When gaming on a PC, most people use the standard mouse and keyboard, but for some games, especially flying games, I prefer to use a joystick, it not only adds to the realism, but makes it more fun and realistic.

Well made; No extra software to install; Plug and play; Sensitive to movements; Lots of buttons; Truly adds to gaming experience; Easy to use

None really

The moment I wrapped my hands around the flightstick, I got a grin on my face; I felt like a little kid in an airplane museum who...

If you're even mildly interested in driving games then you'll either already own a wheel, or know the benefits that having the right controller can bring to your gaming prowess. Flight simulation games have exactly the same possibilities opened up when you have the correct control method beneath...

Even though this is only a 180 degree turn, it has worked well with every game I have played (Euro truck simulator, Grid 2, Trackmania, and a bunch more) The large amount of buttons is awesome, and the grip on the wheel is perfect. This isn't anything spectacular, but I have easily got 100 bucks out of it!

Not a very good wheel but then not very expensive either.
