Am I able to upgrade the joystick? It's a little wobbly and I prefer it to be a bit tighter. Personal preference.

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

Yes, you can. The stick has software and will overwrite the previous version

Yes, The remote is a little more difficult to control. I would upgrade if I had to do over.

Well, I use mode2, but it has been my understanding that mode1 or mode2 is a personal choice, I am pretty sure either one will work with this plane. I think the difference is in what stick controls which axis. Better check that out before you buy.

Thank you for the inquiry. The game was found in an estate sale and from what we read some say yes it will work but some say no. So I will have to say no it will not work with a joystick.

Yes and yes. The Joystick twists AND the throttle has a rocker bar (you can't see in this photo) for rudder control on the back. Both snap back to default when not actually twisting/rocking.

The one I have is small. If you have fine motor skill concerns, I would look for another one. Hope this helps.

No it can't without extensive upgrades. This comes with its own controller.

I will say no joystick pad. Installed a few months ago. Recently installed 6-22mm model with no control pad.

Not well, you can use it driving but there are buttons missing to walk around so you can't walk without switching controllers :(

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.

Manufacturer does not seem all that interested in supporting games, a mistake IMHO, as it's a great controller for a few existing and many more upcoming titles. Fortunately some dedicated users have provided a solution that will work with any game supporting a conventional joystick. Search for an open source utility called vJoy and install it in combination with another utility, Sx2vJoy. Configure via the latter and you're all set. Original drivers are not required. The device itself is very well made and well worth the hassle.

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 think you can on the right side of the controller is a small joystick for forward backward left and right.I think you can run it with your pointer finger

Overall its a great controller. The buttons are very responsive and there's a nice feel to it. The only problem I have with it is the joystick, it's not made very well at all. It will occasionally stick when going from right to left and makes clicking noises when going in a circle (although it doesn't become stuck as much after a fair amount of use). Some people don't seem to have a problem with it though, so it may just be a matter of getting lucky with a good one.

Can. In Elite Dangerous it operates as a Throttle as that's what whatever system detects the joystick flags it as. I disabled stick throttle as it was an unknown vector in my gameplay.
