Title: note from JLM
Post by: JLM on March 08, 2009, 08:47:01 AM

I recently damaged (beyond repair) :-[ the connector cable that connects the Saitek X-52 throttle to the joystick. One of the pins inside on one end of the connector plug broke off so the joystick won't work. So I can't play anything :'(

FYI: I use a Logictec Wingman game pad (USB) for mine and seems to work just fine.

I have a Thrustmaster Cougar/HOTAS but that's just too bulky.

That Thrustmaster has to be the closest to a real shuttle stick out there...

I do have another stick, it's the Saitek ST290 Pro (USB). I don't really like using it because I find it uncomfortable to use, but that is what I'm using right now. :-\
