A couple months ago, I bought a Sidewinder 2 force feedback joystick off of EBay, to use with P3D. It works quite well (except that one of the buttons no longer works, darn it). I have FSX Steam Edition installed, but had not used it in quite a while, until last evening.

WOW!!! Force feedback in FSX is intense!!!

Somewhere I had read that was the case, but I am here to tell ya, it is amazing!! I feel like I have "reinvigorated" Fsx . I use P3D mostly, but will be using Fsx now a lot more now than I was! NC
