Flight Stick worth it?

[DoraNine]

jaywinner,
Yes, I do find that lowering the sensitivity helps out alot in the "realism" and "Sim" lobbies -- but it doesn't help with the rudder at all. The all on/off rudder has definitely cost me kills -- infact, its so bad that I wish there was a way to disable it. I'll wait for the patch and see if it is addressed. If they don't fix it, I'll probably just open up the base and snip the leads to the circuit board that control the rudder. I'd definitely be better off without it as it is configured.

Also, I've lost sight of plenty of planes while in the process of trying to hit that "switch cam" button (extremely annoying). The other quirky problem is that the "Hat switch" on the base (the one between the R1 and R2 buttons) will sometimes brush up against my shirt and I get instantly thrown into a view of the bottom of my plane (crazy annoying). Unfortunately -- I'm only down to one reason for actually using the stick at this point -- and that's the throttle. The throttle/rudder combo on the gamepad is a real "mess". Just my 2 cents worth.
