Hi to all. Been using Microsoft Standard Joystick since 2000. When I upgraded to Windows 7. I started having a few problems so I researched what was available for Windows 7 and FSX. I purchased a Cyborg F.L.Y 5 which I find is great with FSX. Not had any problems so far. Well worth a look if you need a new joystick. I do not play games on my PC. I have never called FS a game. I do however have all scenery packs that are available. Hope to post more as like many others, have a lot to learn.
