Average Rating:
 Rating: - Worth every bit of the money. But with a 'but...'It is well worth the money as it has several toggle two way switches, other buttons and a hat-switch (8-way). Plus it has a good dual throttle function. It has a light-up missile switch and this joystick is incredibly easy to programme and install. It has a military design and is a perfect shape and is very light-weight. Now the 'BUT...' The reason it is cheap is because it has cheap plastic so if you are looking for amazing materials look further up the price range. On the other hand this joystick still works fabulously. The missile switch is a bit gimmicky and the buttons are slightly flimsy and cheap looking but for this price the joystick is a bargain. Problems i had: The 'universal' attachable wrist rest is very ... Read More: Rating: - Best joystick I have used so farI have used many joysticks in the last 20 years or so. This is the best. The most important part of a joystick, in my opinion, is the response around the centre, when the stick is vertical. Many sticks are too loose around this area leading to drift and calibration problems. This stick has it spot on. My logitech wingman force 3d was terrible in this regard so I happily threw it away and tried the Saitek. Great. I am now an 'average' pilot in BF2 whereas before I was 'utter rubbish'. I can scream around a map at low level and not crash. Whoever said 'good tools does not a good worker make' never used this joystick. The throttle and twist work well and there are more than enough buttons to configure to your liking. I though it looked a bit cheesy ... Read More: Rating: - Very good joystickThis joystick arrived earlier today, there aren't a lot of reviews for it so I'll write this one now and update it once i've had it a few months. I bought this to use for teaching students how to fly light aircraft (such as Cessnas) using FS2004, so most of my comments are aimed at using it for FS2004, however a long time ago i used combat flight sims so i will comment slightly on its use for these purposes. I bought this to replace my old 'Thrust Predator' which was cheap and did the job, but wasn't great for my purposes (would be great for a combat flight sim though). I have previously owned a Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro, an old Saitek Cyborg 3D, and many other cheap sticks - for FS2004 the AV8R is by far the best. ... Read More: Rating: - BrilliantVery cheap joy stick compared to others with same specification. Had for 9 months now, nothings gone wrong. Using it with FSX. Can really make use of the duel throttle! Not sure what the the point of the switch on the front is though? Overal very good. Anyone looking for a good value joystick, BUY THIS ONE!!! Rating: - brilliantI bought this joystick with a copy of fsx deluxe and I've been very impressed with it. It's great for flight sims, reacts well, extremely easy to set up and use. It is alot bigger than it looks in the picture, it's a good size. There are actually three thumb buttons on the top and the 8 view hat switch, not just one. I highly reccomend this stick for fs2004 and fsx, especially for the price. -Fe |
