Just got my friends joystick..........my one has gone in the bin!

What are the chances of having exactly the same hardware issue with 2 joysticks?! Quite high it would seem!!!

I'm now on the lookout for a new joystick when I'm back in the UK in a few weeks.

Thanks all for your help and advice, always a fantastic source on this forum. :thumbsup:

With you there Rob. You'd certainly start to think the problem lay elsewhere :S Ah well.. at least you know where you stand now. Problem will be getting the 'right' joystick as you never know what you're gonna end up with until you have it plugged in.. good or bad.

I must admit I do tend to prefer my Logitech to my Evo at the moment!

whoa, jumping from a cyborg x to a X55... smancy... B)smk

I have the x52 and a wireless logitec plus my cyborg X.
although the x52 is in the cupboard for lack of desk space.
and the Logitec I use for FLIGHT. only ..

and I haven't used (it) in a while because my wingman has been on holiday. :(

Hey, I've just noticed your location, RobDob!
I thought that everyone in that part of the world had their own jetliner. How come you're using a simulator? :hide:
