I built my step dad a new i7 Win/7 64 bit rig and the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick most likely won't work so I have to find him a good replacement joystick. Any top dogs out there?

Thanks,

Have you googled or searched Technet or Microshaft.com for 64 bit drivers?

 I found this link and it says it is compatible with a download but when I click on the download link I do not see anything for the joystick. I guess I better try the joystick before I assume it won't work.

Thanks.

If you want the BEST then you want the Saitek X-52 pro. In the major aviation community of those who fly in Flight Simulator X, IL-2, or in Lock On Modern Combat, most people use the X-52 pro.

and the cheaper non-pro model, the X-52, which is what i use.

Fear my new connection! which lacks upload but tipples my download!

Thanks, I was looking at the Saitek and didn't realize yet that they had the cheaper version. How do you like it? Is it simple or complex to set up? Or does it work out of the box and all the other software options are used as necessary or desired?

Thanks,
