    Force Feedback Joysticks
    « on: June 27, 2007, 08:07:24 AM »
    Does anyone own or know much about the force feedback joysticks? I know they were expensive when they first came out. I haven't heard much about them since but I was just wondering if they are worth buying. I love the flying games (Flight Simulator and just air combat games) If they are good where would be the best place to look at getting one. I have a Logitech (sorry don't know the model or anything) joystick already it's nice, but I really liked the force feedback joysticks I tried out, but that was a few years ago.

      Thanks the Savior! I'll look into some of those.

      Does anyone know if there are many games that support the force feed joysticks? Like i said I haven't heard much about them in a couple years so I didn't know if it was a quick fad that died off. Or is it one of those things where most newer games do support it? Thanks!

      It really depends on the kind of game, like I don't think FPS or RTS support joysticks but things like Flight Sim will support it.

      Those would be great for Flight Simulator.

      As far as I know it's just flight simulator games that support them, but I could be wrong.
      That's the only use I can see for them though . . . can't play BF with a joystick . . .
      They haven't died out and they are still around, but it's still a bit of a niche.

          I got a joystick and i use it for flying planes in Battlefield 2, its much more fun then using the mouse.
