I"m just as green with this thing as you are. Mounting it on a firmer, less movable surface makes all the difference. Even having it on my mousepad which is thin as hell has an effect. Small, but it's still there.

Jesus, just build a real a-10! Sometimes I forget that this is a forum about flight sims and not actual aircraft building lol.

If you're talking about the silver wheel on the left throttle, then I haven't had any problems with it. Then again I haven't used it that much over the course of the week I've owned it. I freaking love it though, and have no problems whatsoever executing high G turns or precision maneuvers. I also have no problems with the plug, even though it is rudimentary, but it isn't likely to break off inside the port so that's always good. Right now I give it a solid 9/10.

Man if only I lived in Australia...

I got it off of eBay (new). I did a lot of research, and the only better ones I can think of are the CH which I don't really like (not enough buttons) and the TM Warthog, which is too expensive and not versatile across sims in my opinion, although of top-notch quality. The buttons all work fine on the x65 and I love it and have only had good experiences with it except for that scare with the centering (because I know I'm f$cked if it messes up). I've heard good and bad, but seeing as I got it for $170 new, I don't give a damn. Oh and do you mind pointing me to that new driver update

I've had it for about a week, and literally an hour after using it and it working fine, the green crosshair in the config menu is about 2/3 of the way up and 3/4 of the way left on the "target" diagram. That is, quite obviously unsuitable for flying unless you like to dig holes. Okay I unplugged the stick from the throttle and reconnected... works fine now. I'll keep an eye on this thing and see what happens.

One 7.62x39mm 154 grain round: 2,056.3 J of energy One 8 pound bird traveling at roughly 350 knots: 5,8821.8 J of energy (That's if the bird was still. Add/subtract 20-40 knots depending on direction) I'd take the bullet.

You've been here since march 2010, so if you haven't heard about the F-15C in all of the LockOn games, then you must've been under a pretty large rock.:lol: Anyway I think the f-22 would be sick. Not simply because "Ooh wow dude the F22 is like UBER AWESOME" but because I would thoroughly enjoy a sim putting you in the cockpit of the best fighter in the world. I also really want to fly the PAK FA, but we'll have to wait on that one.

Christ, with the effort you guys put into your pits, why not just build a real one? Yeah my pit consists of a crappy wooden desk with a bigass computer tower on the left, a 24 inch monitor right in front of me, and an old 21 to the right of that. Then my joystick on the desk just kinda sitting there. I win Bow down to my epic sh*tpit

Well, there's a good way to discourage shooting your planes down.

My advice: "Do not hit CTRL+ and then E twice while inverted and below 5000 feet."
