I am a fan of flight sims I was into the Hornet series and Wing Commander. The thing is I never had the cool Thrustmaster stuff back then, mainly generic or low-end sticks like those old Advance Gravis or Quickshots.
It was Tie Fighter that got me to seriously get into better joysticks. My first major joystick purchase was the Wingman Extreme, I liked that one a lot but the triggers would notoriously fail. So I then got a CH Flighstick Pro which I still have today. It works with those USB gameport adaptor things. The Flighstick Pro blew me away with how precise it is. Still my favorite stick.
I recently got the old Thrustmaster stuff but haven’t played with it yet. I also picked up the new Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X recently and haven’t tried that either, it seems a little small for my hands. My classes end this week so I should get to test them out soon.
If you want to get rid of old hardware let me know, we can work something out.
