Well i've just started getting back in to flight sims thanks to FS2002 and the EXCELLENT SP3. So i've decided to replace my thrustmaster with a nice little force feedback stick.
Now i'm eyeing off the sidewinder force feedback at this stage because it is the only one i know anything about. Is there a stick in particular that any of you recommend over this and if so why.
I was hoping to pay less than US$150.
I'd appreciate advice ... comments ... suggestions.
btw ... does F4 SP3 support force feedback ?

Re: Force feedback Joystick advice ...
lol personnaly, i haved some force feed back stick from 2 kind...
logiteck wingman 3d extreme ffb
and Ms sidewinder ffb2
ok... just to give you a idea, i return my first wingman for a other one after 5 weeks. he start to smeel the heat (i see smoke to) and stop to respond. the new one just stay alive 2 week... the x axis start to bug my plane up and down.
the third one just burn into a friend hands when i receved it... so i choose to upgrade for a new one... but the only one i know was the ms siderwinder. and its a big upgrade for the price to... 3 time the price of the wingman. i try...
but this one was a hard one... he stay whit me 1 and half years... and i solde it to a friend... he play rought to. and still like a new one... seem this stick dont get older whit time... the stick always be centered... no lose whit time... and the force feed back feeling was the best i hold in my hands.
i dont know other ffb stick. but the siderwinder was a good one. Ok, is not metalic, but the construction was well made!
Maybe the base will be big for some desk.
i like my x-45 for falcon4... but i love ffb stick for some ww2 dogfighting game. i make my choice... for realistic immersion. a reel f-16 dont have any ffb from what i know.
