 Mine is working - but for how long?, 2004-02-14
I love the feel of the josytick and the button layout and so far mine has been great. However, just a little research will turn up that ALOT of people have failures with this product within 1 month. Enough to make me question my own purchase after the fact.

 not good for flight combat games., 2004-01-29
Well at first I want to get this joystick because it felt a lot smoothly. I purchased this stick so I could use for 3D space flight combat type games. But now then I hooked it on my computer, I noticed the X axis did not stay steady, along with the Z axis. There was no way re recalibrate it. I had a lot of trouble aiming steady with this stick in any 3d space flight combat type games.I tried everything to recalibrate that thing out but it never seem to work. I returned it back to the vendor and thank god I got the full cost of it back.
Good joystick, lots of buttons, 2004-01-26
This stick is a major upgrade from by old Logitech Sidewinder Digital 3D ( the PLASTIC!! post that holds the spring for the handle gave out, we welded and glued the METAL-reinforced post back in, it worked but it still had a bit extra play in it.) I can easily map all the main functions in Flight Simulators to it. I like the new cycle command feature. The repeat rates are WAY too fast...you can't adjust them to a real "slow". I had difficulty installing the drivers so that it actually works with windows 98 and it doesn't cut out all the sound.(My previous stick had the same problem) I can't remember exactly how I solved it ...
Other than that, installation was "normal" as far as how Logitech products install (our cordless trackball drivers have to be re-installed to install ANY other logitech product)...nice company image for Logitech...
I have yet to try it in FS2002 Pro. Improvements I'd like to see are
-A elevator trim wheel, NOT a cheap trim rocker -more than one throttle
-2 more buttons above the throttle(s)
-A dual-stage trigger
-Minor advancements of profiler features (a repeat rate that can be set 1-100, have the ability to assign multiple shift buttons, have ability to toggle shift buttons on/off instead of holding them down,...)
Other than install, it's a fabuluous stick. I've had it for about 1 week.

 works great for 1 month., 2004-01-19
then, the joystick inevitably loses its center, and can not be recalibrated. That's right. It can not be recalibrated.So, I have a logitech extreme 3d paperweight. It fits the hand nicely, has all the buttons I need and so on, but I can't play any games with it. my character spins leftward and slowly looks down. This stick is junk.
