You don't have time to think up there. If you think, you're dead.

You too can not think with Flight simulator Steam Edition! Wanna fly a hot air balloon from San Francisco airport while being buffetted by 747's, YOU CAN! Want complete non-realism in a realistic setting - Flight Simulator X Steam edition is the game for you!

Force vibration... so rumble type effects not actual force feedback?

Rumble so strong I was expecting George Foreman and Muhammad Ali to come out of the jungle swinging!

Only joking, it's a £30 joystick so don't expect a fully realistic and authentic flying experience. It'll be enough to let you know you've hit the ground too hard when your 747 ploughs into the tarmac at 400 knots.

Okay, just £30... I have adjusted expectations. No realistic force feedback nor reality stone.

Thinking about it, iirc there are no more force feedback joysticks because a particular company owns the patent(s). Hopefully the patent will expire one day soon

Yeah when the offer came up to take I thought it might be a nice entry level buy for parents who wanted to introduce their kids to flight games/Sims (I hate referring to Flight Simulator X STEAM EDITION as a Simulator).

If you've never watched any of Airforceproud95's videos, you'll know why:


Not something really for "Sim enthusiasts" :)

I was rather hoping that we'd start getting better kit now that said company have bought a once-reputable brand, presumably to resurrect it?

Me too. They were very slow in bringing the original SKU's back to market and I'm waiting to see wht they do with it.

My guess is they'll time it to coincide with the next big release requiring JS. My guess would be Star Citiaen. When/If that ever happens...
