The new USB joysticks in the 2009 KoP are much better than even modified CH Flightsticks.

Not only do they have very stiff springs, but the buttons on them are actually conveniently placed. I wouldn't hesitate one bit to use them on an operator interface; and the fact that you can buy additional ones relatively easily for about $20 each is a major win in my books. And this is coming from someone who used to love the old CH Flightsticks.

If you have the serial Flightsticks, get a wiring diagram for the serial connector, and just rewire the pins onto female pin headers and plug them into the appropiate (e.g. power, ground, digital input, analog input, etc) additional male pins on the Driver Station.
