FS 2004 & Logitech Attach 3

[Guest thrasher]

Hi Guys

 

After reading a few of the F S threads I decided to buy FS 2004 as the newer X version would not have suited my ageing laptop.

 

Has anyone got a Logitech Attack 3 Joystick ?

 

I have been finding it very touchy or is it just me.

 

The weather has been wet so I thought I'd have a go again at a Flight Sim as my old 98 version didn't run to well on this newer computer

 

Am having fun on day one checking out all the features.

 

I also bought Combat Flight Sim 3 but havn,t Installed that yet got both for the price of FS X

 

Have many of you played Combat FS 3 & wot did u think.

 

Regards Steve

G'day Thresher.

 

I am using a Logitech Attack 3 joystick with FS 04 and it worked well for about 2 years, but has since played up.

 

2 of the buttons tend to stick and the roller at the front stopped working. I was using it as a throttle. I got it going again but it will gradually slip back to lower settings.

 

It seems to be a case of cheap and nasty.

Hi Guys

 

I have now changed the other one for a Extreme 3 Pro which gives me rudder control which helps when taxiing a tail dragger...

I use the Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick. I occasionally have problems with the cordless receiver but it is more convenient if I want to transfer the game onto larger tv screen.

 

I have seen a joystick with a separate control for power which I though would add to the realism. It was around $200 so I left it in the shop.

 

Any joystick with a rudder and power controls should be fine.

I'm using a "TOP GUN FOX 2 PRO" joystick which came in a package deal with the FS2004 package in March 2006 for about $90 total. It has plenty of features including throttle slide button and rudder yaw control by twisting the stick one way or the other (That feature would be nice on my trike in X-wind landings).

 

I've also downloaded and installed the Vista Oz packages (www.vistaoz.org/), which helps with the scenery, as well as a freeware FA-18 from I can't remember where, but it's a hoot to take for a blast through the Grand Canyon, 500kts at 50ft & bouncing off the walls occasionaly. No I don't fly that low in the real world. . .

 

Has anyone found any good trikes for FS2004?

 

Cheers,

 

Glen

Glen, try the download libraries at: http://www.avsim.com, http://www.flightsim.com, or http://www.simaviation.com. These sites have thousands of free download a/c, scenery etc. I'm sure one of them would have a trike or two.
