Joysticks.Plz reply ASAP

For the new joysticks from CH I would tend to believe they are USB, meaning that you would need the USB adaptor(pretty expensive for some teams)

If you don't like the white ones and lack flightsticks, try unscrewing and removing the white one's handle and just use the little black stem it is connected to. You don't have to cut anything and can easily reassemble the stick if you decide you don't like the feel. If you actually decide to use a handleless joystick, I would (and did) cut the wires and replace the handle with something touch longer (like a short piece PVC pipe) with some kind of grippy material attached to it. You can put in different springs, but I would try just switching out the handle first.

Hi,

I have been looking for converters.But i was wondering if i can use the convertors other than chicklets to support the Flightstick?Is it allowed,perhaps will it support the joystick.

Thanx a lot for everyone's suggestions

I'm not sure whether anyone has tried this or not, but I wonder if one could order a set of the new CH-Products USB joysticks and gut out the USB cable and circuit boards. On the spare parts page of the CH website, they have potentiometers which look strikingly similar to the ones in the older 15pin joysticks. I haven't seen the [inside of the] USB sticks, but it seems possible that one could wire up the pots' and buttons in a new USB 'stick to a 15pin cable and get a working 15pin 'stick that way?

The only such device permitted on the OI joystick ports is the Chicklet. The manual is very clear on this.

(I don't think you'll find any other such devices available anyway.)

Some one suggested programming the joysticks to be less sensitive.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but multiple people liked this code.
