If I want to use my joystick - Logitech's WingMan Extreme Digital 3D (USB) - will I need an emulator, and do you know if this model will work? Thanks.

well an emulator is to mimick a console. I know controllers work. so I would assume it would work. but if not you can get it to work with a 3rd party software like joy2pad or something.

Does not work with MAC, I just checked Logitech site, and they only have Windows listed for this controller. It say if you OS is not listed, nothing is available for it. So that means it wont work! For MAC

Yes, it does work on emulated games. I use it to play Super Nintendo games, but this is not a good controller, do more research, there are way better controllers out there. I recommend the PS3 controller. I bought this controller, I would throw it in the garbage, probably going to resell it on Ebay.

I'd get a different product. There's a chance that it'll work fine for you, but if it doesn't work, it's a real pain to fix. I ended up having to reinstall the entire operating system in order to get the thing up and running. May as well spring for a newer model. The actual problem was most likely a conflict with leftover bits of Logitech drivers and software, but I was never able to track them all down and eliminate them.

Sidewinder is the best joystick I tried. I have 4 of them. I even had the force feedback version which does NOT have Win XP nor Win7 drivers. The USB sidewinders last forever. Also - Flight Simulator 1 2 and 3 do NOT work in Win7 - you have to stop at WinXP for those.

Not really. I have Flight Sim, Prpar3D, and XPlane. Win 8 does not work with any of them at least not without a lot of tinkering. Works ok with Win 7 and Win XP. Unbelievable that Saitek can't seem to get it right with proper drivers.

Yes, I have a X52 that the joystick went bad with and so I bought a CH Fighterstick and it works fine. The only issue is that without the X52 joystick, you obviously can't clutch and change modes with the X52 throttle. Incidentally I like the CH stick a lot better; it's more precise and a lot less jittery than the X52 stick.

I have X-Plane 10, but find that the CH Flightstick Pro (USB) is somewhat unstable on this program. By working with it more I hope to improve it, maybe. I have an HP Pavilion i5 with 8 megs of RAM but maybe not the graphics that I need with some of the newer sims. I have an old PII with man sims running on it with a total CH set up, Flightstick Pro, Throttle Pro and CH Rudders with par. ports. With some real aircraft experience, I'll have to say that the old sims were the most realistic, even though they lacked in graphics. Also, you may have a later version than XPlane 10. I have read that '10' did have some control problems. Otherwise, the Flightstick Pro seems to work well with MS Flightsim X and some others I have. CH is a very good company. I've even toured their plant some years ago.

I couldn't find any Mac drivers listed on the Logitech website.I'm not familiar with any "Apple" products but if the Mac O.S.has any generic drivers for joysticks you might be able to getat least basic function out of this device.Whether you'd be able to assign functions to allof the buttons and throttle, I wouldn't know.

The original didn't work under Vista 64-bit. Does anyone know if this new version works on Vista 64-bit? I know that there's a whole bunch of drivers that do no work in 64-bit, and I had a hell of a time trying to get the old G15 keyboard installed before I gave up and sent it back. Any info is appreciated. Logitech's site doesn't say 64-bit support. I've always been suspicious when there is no mention of that.

Yes. I've played several modern games using the X-mode and older emulators in D-mode. Both work without any issues.

These people say: Yes -- http://xforcepc.com/store/index.php/catalog/product_compare/index/ I'm still searching for more info though, because I had a gamepad that worked fine when Mac was 32-bit but now OS 10.7.5 is 64-bit and that gamepad driver no work anymore. I'll see what I can find out from CH and maybe more from link provided.

It will still work and Logitech still provides a download for Logitech Gaming Software for Windows XP. That being said, it is an older version and has not been updated since March 2013.

Not sure my friend, i took my chance and it worked perfectly fine? At first i thought it didnt work until i messed with the settings on the emulator. You pretty much have to manually configure the buttons .its pretty easy. If i can do it anyone can haha.

I do not care for Infantry type games like CALL OF DUTY, MEDAL OF HONOR: I prefer ELITE, WING COMMANDER or 4X Grand Strategy games. For these mouse emulation of the mini keyboard are very satisfactory. However the lag time in an FPS type game might not be as optimal as regular dedicated Gamepad would provide.

On Windows, you can run JoyToKey program to convert button presses for other emulators that do not support the USB controller directly. We were able to use FCEUX emulator after we mapped as follows in JoyToKey : A-Button 2-F, B-Button 3-D, Start-Button 10-Enter, Select-Button 9-S.

I have an old microsoft joystick with the gameport DB-15 connector. I bought this thinking I could go straight to the USB port and the machine would see it. It did not.. I actually found an older Soundblaster soundcard with a gameport, installed it in a PCI slot and that is working fine, if you have the slot and any sound card with a game port. Otherwise.. don't bother. There were some people talking about converters etc and I thought.... no .... either do what I did or buy a new USB joystick which you will need for newer games anyway...
