I found an adapter cable but its in the states. Not been able to find any over here. You can pick up a usb joystick for £15 so you may find that is the cheaper option.

Cheers GFK, I did scout around, I even used google, but they are a bugger to find......more money I guess, which leads me to, whaddya reckon on a flight stick?

2 Questions:

1. How much do you want to spend?
2. How much realism do you want? (i.e. full HOTAS or just a simple stick and you'll use the keyboard for the rest)

I use Saitek X45 which is a good stick at a reasonable price. The build quality isn't as good as the X36 was but it's good value for money (Dabs for £58)

There is a new model out (the X52) but it's £100 and I know nothing about it.

For more basic sticks then Saitek or Logitech are usually best - I tend to find the microsoft ones a bit "sloppy" but each to their own.

OOps, just noticed that X52 isn't avail until Sep 04 - sorry

HTH?

If I had the money I would buy one of these  though  :dribble:

Only £259 from Gameplay

For a budget stick the Saitek "Cyborg Evo" is meant to be magnificent - I think it retails at £35.
