hi
i have a saitek Cyborg v1 flight stick gathering dust for a few years can't remember what title i got it for originally some sort of ground attack game but no clue on the name, any recommended games to get for it so it's gathering dust no more.

something easy to master would be good

thanks.

Since it's free, you could give War Thunder a try. You won't be competitive in multiplayer but some single player missions would be fun using the stick.
