** TOP GUN 32ND ANNIVERSARY DEAL - Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby **

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"

Is that Ann Summers?

@Ace Modder has to have the industrial strength models

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...
