Thrustmaster - USB Flight Stick for Windows - Multi

Used to have fun with MS Flight Sim 95 with the keyboard as a control, but find it difficult to tell aircraft settings (elevators in particular) with the newer version ten, so decided to try a joy stick. This is the first one I've owned (aside from the kids' Atari!) so I'll defer to the experienced gamers to compare it to other sticks. Bottom line: it works fine - boots up automatically - no complaints, other than that the handle appears to have been designed for someone wearing a flight suit!

I have owned more expensive flight controllers so this was obviously not as good for controller fine sensitivity but for the price you get a controller that gives you options that exceeded anything I could find in the price range. If you are looking to play a few on line flight games casually this will do the trick. If you want high quality flight sim sensitivity you may need to go up a little in price range

Hi. Good product for playing some old school PC games. Probably better products out there that cost more but I was just looking to get something so that I could enjoy Xwing and Tie Fighter.

Nice cheap joystick, works well with Flight Simulator X, just plug and play. Throttle lever is nice for Flight Simulation.

As stated above the ThrustMaster USB controller was a gem to used, however the unit proved to be defective. I have in fact reordered the unit, hoping that lightning does not strike twice in the same spot.

Found a place online that has some older video games. Tie fighter - Works like a charm!

I have been using this joystick on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux for the Flightgear simulator. It works fine. I just plugged the joystick into a USB port and started the application. It was installed and the application recognized it immediately.

This was replacement for a different type that fail. The flight stick works perfectly with flight simulator.
