June 9, 201015 yr Thanks for the link Turner:Curious about the connectors. Are the terminals just for the specified digital contact connection, or is a power connection required? What I wonder, Is there a power connection in addition to the USB connection, or is the USB connection all that is required for the Joystick itself to work?Thanks again.RTH http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1113;)
June 10, 201015 yr I -think- you need an interface board - this thing is really tiny... but I believe the interface board is powered by USB and the power to the joystick is handled through the cord that comes bundled with the joystick. The USB cable would probably connect the interface board to the computer.That said... I'm not sure... best to call.cheersAndrew H e l p k e e p A V S I M f l y i n g
June 11, 201015 yr Does anyone know of a mini (portable/collapsible) joystick that I can pack to take on holiday etc.CheersWell, it's a gamepad but this has given me good results: the eDimensional G-Pad Pro Gyroscopic Gamepad. I even asked here if anybody had tried it, however, nobody answered. But since it was only USD6 at the time (plus USD9 to have it shipped to my uncle at Houston so my brother could bring it to Colombia), I bought it anyway. I've had good results with both Vista 32-bit and Windows 7 32-bit. I haven't done enough testing in my new Inspiron 11z (Win 7 x64), but so far, I haven't got any problem.Best regards from Colombia,Luis Miguel Best regards,Luis Hernández Main rig: self built, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (with SMT off and CO -50 mV), 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB, 256 GB M.2 SSD (OS+apps) + 2x1 TB SATA III SSD (sims) + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (storage), ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS air cooler, Viewsonic VX2458-MHD 1920x1080@120-144 Hz (G-sync compatible), Windows 11.

I'll try to report back with a review of sorts on my own experience, if anyone is interested. In the meantime, I thought I'd mention that if you order direct from eDimensional's website, they give you two for the price of one. Their most basic shipping charge (at least to my location in Pennsylvania, USA) was about $10, compared to about $5 if ordering from FS Pilot Shop. I figured having a spare controller was the better deal.
January 26, 201115 yr I use the Saitek Cyborg-X--it's a full-size joystick with a dual throttle and a twist-grip rudder axis, and the stick head detaches from the base to make two flat pieces that'll pack easily into a suitcase, yet give you a full-size stick when in use.CheersBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
