[comp.sys.amiga] F/A-18, Jet or Falcon? + which joystick to use

auyeung@iris.ucdavis.edu (Tak [UlTech] AuYeung) (11/11/89)

Hi!  I want to buy a flight simulator to take me into the sky (w/o
paying too much).  Any suggestions?  To me, realistic graphics
comes first, the ability to communicate with another player (thru
the serial port) comes second and the ability to use scenery /
other add-on disks comes last.

Also, I want to use a joystick to control the plane.  I used to
control the plane using the keyboard (on an XT), painful.  I guess
I'll need a pot. joystick instead of a switch joystick.  Any
suggestions?

Please reply me thru email and I'll summarize.

Thanks!

Check out a product called the Gravis Mouse Stick. Looks like a must
buy for flight simulators.

Now if it only had the heft and feel of the OH Flight Stick... Oh well...
