I purchased this joystick as a replacement for my failing Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Game Controller. This joystick, while a bargain, was completely thought out wrong as far as the rudder, throttle, and calibration are concerned.

The X and Y axis response worked just fine however the rudder response is just too sensitive and should have been incorporated into a twist handle vice a separate fingertip control. The rudder control rate of change is also non-linear in that it doesn't take much motion to push the aircraft rudder to a full deflection either way causing the aircraft to wander all over the runway during takeoffs and landings. If trying to correct for adverse yaw, forget about it. Even adjustments to MOI and scaler settings in the aircraft sim programming failed to control the excessive rudder deflection.

The digital throttle is designed into the stick just to the right of the hat switch & works fine as long as you are not in a sequence of flight where precise control of the joystick is needed (final approach to runway). The pressing of the control causes pitch issues since it's difficult to maintain a steady hand on the stick while pressing your thumb repeatedly (or steady) for throttle adjustments. The throttle control should have been placed where the rudder control is and should be an analog control vice digital.

The calibration function is supposedly automatic as the joystick moves through it's environment (MS FS 2004 ACOF) however, the throttle upon sim startup, tends to stick at 50% from time-to-time requiring me to unplug and plug the USB plug to clear the issue and restore full throttle function.

If you're a serious simmer looking to perfect your flight simming experiences then stay away from this joystick.
