My 3d Pro just broke down after 1 year give or take(the calibration issues started showing up 6 months ago).

I need something cheap, good, and will not force me to re-calibrate it every week or two(try and avoid other logitech joystick, kthx).

Do you really need a joystick?  just hover the f35 600m up and use your chams and aimbot to kill shit.

Nah, I really hated it for the first six months of flying a jet plus I don't have much space and it is going to take a while to get back into KB&M.

What's the problem with recalibrating a joystick every two weeks? It takes one minute, take a minute out of your sleep time and do it then ^_^.

Personally, I use an ST50 (It's a lulz joystick with two buttons and a speed adjuster which I don't use)

If you want to own noobs, you only need two buttons on a joystick to fire, then do everything else with your keyboard.

Well, starting the game up; finding a server that has an airmap besides wake without admins. that bother you; GETTING the jet without being raped/forced tked resulting in a kick or ban/being tked for it/then realizing its that time of month and having to do re-calibrate it only to come back when the server has A)Switched maps or B)You can't get the jet again.

I never really get raped whilst waiting for a jet (I only fly the F35, though) Perhaps I force TK but most of the time I don't have a problem, if they do force TK - Report them.

When in the air, go to 4000 feet and alt tab, you can calibrate in the time it takes you to fall to 1000~ feet easy. Also, when the game is about to start double tab sprint so you get a flying take off, and you should get a decent vehicle ^_^.

Then just bail from the jet and wait for the next one whilst you config your joystick, or bail on their air flag and cap it =].

Just go get the second cheapest joystick from your local store, no fancy joystick is going to make you a better player, in fact most of what you do will be done with a keyboard - just use it to control your udlr and missile/bomb and MG fire.

Also, do not use a joystick for flying a chopper, mouse and keyboard offers you so much more control.

Dude, I'm not new to this game. I don't want a fancy joystick that I just want one that won't fuck up on me. Oh and I don't play Raep Island unless a friend convinces me. I seriously don't see what people like about that map. It gets boring after one round.

It's a hax map - the 24/7 server my ISP offers is always full. I personally enjoy the map because, given I can get an F35 - I'll reduce rape on arty island and any flags we have from J10s, so my team can advance on airfield and cap it.

After 300 hours on strike at karkand, playing against hang back AK 101 heros, G36E spammers, noob tubers/grenade whores. I got bored of the randomness that was associated with infantry, and it just so happens the most populated vehicle server on the servers I play on is 24/7 Wake island.

Thats what I'm using.  works good, but since its longer it seems like it requires more movement.  I've had two of them..  first one, one of the axis sensors broke. 2nd one, trigger broke so I swapped the 1st ones trigger into it.  Now the throttle is loose from use, so you cant leave it in any position other than +100% or -100%

I second the request for ban.

Get a logitech 3D Pro. If you can't make it last 3+ years without calibrating like I did, you are doing something wrong.
