While I do not know the windows flight simulator, I am certain you will have little to no problems using this joystick for it. This joystick not only has controls for the standard axis's of movement (up/down, roll right/left, turn right/left, throttle, ect.), it also has 12 triggers/buttons for whatever you will need for the simulator. This includes the obvious trigger, a thumb button (for right handers) on the side of the shaft, 4 easy-to-use buttons on the top of the shaft, and six (6) buttons on the base beside the shaft. Also on the top of the device (in the center of the 4 buttons) is a small joystick like the joystick commonly found in many high-end game consoles. This 'swiggle-stick' is easily used by the player's thumb. The throttle control is at the base of the device. It is a variable control (not a 'push-button' control) which gives the player much more control of the engine power available in the simulator. One surprising aspect of the device is the wide and very stable base. Anybody who has used free-standing joysticks will know what I'm talking about. unlike other joysticks, the base to this one is well thought-out and quite sturdy. This allows the player to 'one-hand' even the most violent maneuvers without having to hold down the joystick with his/her other hand. Instead, the player would be able to use that other hand to manipulate the throttle and the 6 buttons on the base. Oh (in case you didn't know this already) the shaft can be turned (twisted) to control the 'yaw' (turn right/left, like a car's steering). All in all, The joystick is a very good control device for just about any gaming environment you would want to use it for. It is very rugged and highly programmable to do just about anything you want. As an example, I use it to play 2 games which have nothing to do flight combat. One game simulates tank-on-tank combat and the other simulates ship-on-ship combat. In both games, this joystick allows me to control all aspects of maneuvering my unit with one hand when the game normally requires 2 hands.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it can be used for fsx, it has 12 programmable buttons, triggers , and axi. Including throttle. Help is in settings of fsx on how to calibrate.
