Does everything you need to play Flight Simulator. Good force feedback, and very sensitive, which is a good thing Easy to install. Easy to use. Easy to store, fast, and good price.
Wonderful Joystick It's Perfect for me, November 1, 2006
By vaporizer (USA) - See all my reviews
I disagree with whatever most said except about how long this stick will last. If you know how to use it then it's fine...It uses software to set the springback action (main feature I love)...The only issue I found is that from a cold boot with usb 2.0 you must open game controllers and then go to settings and make sure spring action is checked and just ok out because it forgets setting on slider. As I said there is a slider that can adjust spring action which is great...I had no problem with dead spot. I have been using it for 6 years and love it but it usually has problems after 3 to 6 months (erratic motion)...and so I have to keep buying more..I do not use feedback feature. I absolutely love the thumb throttle, positioning of buttons and handle twist. I play Descent 3 Unreal Tournament, and Quake 3. Not good for pacman. You must use a very simple stick for pacman.
What a Difference!!!, September 29, 2006
By James R. Gardner "Beleaguered Bob" (Raleigh, N.C. USA) - See all my reviews
I've had several joysticks from various manufacturers over the past years...I'm 74 now...but this stick has been a joy to use and for the price can't be beat. I was utterly amazed with the difference force feedback makes and after practice am absolutely thrilled with this new aspect of flying combat missions. I have had this stick for over three months and have had no problems with the calibration or the feel or sensation in actual combat flight. For less than $11.00 in cost, this joystick in my opinion is a steal. I have several older and more pricely joysticks back in their boxes (I seldom throw anything away) and rarely will pull one of them out to try again. But I always return to the Wingman Force 3D for the actual combat feel. Other customers have complained about various aspects of calibration (centering, spring tension, etc.) but I have had no problems whatsoever with these. I do know that in flying actual combat missions the stick will react to hits from flak or other
aircraft and will become hard to control...but this to me is what makes this stick so amazing. If the enemy hits my rudder or aileron it is wonderful to feel the affect and fight the stick to maintain control of the aircraft. If and when this joystick wears out I sincerely hope I can purchase another at the same price although I would honestly pay must more to get another...My only regret in reviewing this product is that I am only allowed to give it 5 stars. What an injustice! Final analyysis: I am a perfectionist and highly critical of purchased products by nature....hense the tag "Beleagured Bob" (see my other reviews). That tag doesn't apply to this product unless I'm in the process of being shot down by some hotshot enemy pilot. But that's realism and I thoroughly enjoy it!!!
Another bad controller, June 5, 2006
By Homer Jay "HJ" (USA) - See all my reviews
Same problem as everyone else...too much play in the center right out of the box. The motors are weak and the software does not help the joysticks HUGE dead spot.
After a month of play, it was not usable anymore. Pull the joystick back and it thinks it's going foward. Even the new software Logitech put out didn't help...how about making it in the USA instead of China with it's very high tolerances?
If you're looking for precision, look elsewhere, April 10, 2006
By Nicolas Green "Starving Poet" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This joystick was my last attempt at trying to buy a force-feedback joystick. Without getting too wordy, there is just far too much deadspace in the joystick's center. Even spending extensive amounts of time trying to calibrate with the joysticks calibration utility and manually adjusting the calibration with a directX calibrator it was still impossible to get a true center.
Unfortunately, that's only the first problem one is likely to come across. The gyro motors used to center and move the joystick are very poor. I found that after as little as 1 month of sporadic use, the twist function on the joystick failed to work properly. After dismantling the joystick I found that the joystick was just shoddily constructed of poor components.
I wouldn't recommend this joystick for even the most casual of gamers. Force feedback really, really isn't worth it. Very few computer games are even programmed with Force Feedback in mind. I recommend going with a more reliable, spring-based, joystick such as the Saitek Cyborg EVO.
