To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Joystick recommendations (PC)?

Hi all,

 

Thinking about re-firing up IL2-Sturmovik 1946 as well as FreeSpace 2 to play some mod campaigns but the only joystick I have

is a six year old Saitek "Aviator" series (it was barely serviceable for any game) so I'd like to upgrade without spending too much.

Can I get some SSC approved joysticks? I know the Saitek X52 appears to be the consensus choice but are Logitech and Thrustmasters any good?

Thanks. :thankyou:

They are fine. I have a Thrustmaster H.O.T.A.S. and a Logitech Coordless  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Cordless-Freedom-2-4-Joystick/dp/B00006YX6G/ref=sr_1_10?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1387297494&sr=1-10&keywords=logitech+joystick

I use a Logitech Extreme 3D - it's a decent budget 'stick (oodles of buttons, but a rather large footprint).
