Hi,

Can someone give me a recomendation as to what Joystick will be a safe bet for compatibility with JTL.

I'm looking for something that is easy to use (left handed!) and is not going to give me nightmares with drivers / support for games.

I'm not up to speed recently on what's out there and good brands.

Thx
K.

Here's a subsequent question, I saw the X45 Digital Joystick + Throttle in CompUSA the other day and I really liked the throttle, but didn't care much for the joystick. Does anyone know where I can get a throttle like that seperately so that I can still use my sidewinder?

I think Thrustmaster/CH products do a separate throttle....not sure if they have a USB one tho....and it may cost a bit to get one too

My Thrustmaster seems to be a bit funny, while playing X-Wing Alliance and the old X-Wing games, It seems to pull slightly to the left when i turn right... so i have to turn a lot just to get it lined up again..

While I'm in Joystick config, the + thing (the + that says where your joystick is located) moves all over the place constantly.. without me touching it, anyone know why?

Yes. I have a Saitek USB gold. Works nicely with XWA and I'm sure it will work just fine with JTL. Lots of buttons nice yaw control.

It'll be under your "Options/Keymap" pane... look for the keypress definitions that haveletters like "JOYX6" (or somesuch). You can remap them by moving the JS instead of typing a key.

IIRC there is an invert option in the normal Controls Options also. no need for remapping.
