Hi guys,

Sorry to create another thread for such a simple question. But I am living in Canada this year (on a gap year) and need to get back into simming because I am missing it! A guy is selling a Logitech Wingman Attack 2 joystick for 5 bucks down the road. Just wondering if it will work on Windows 7?

And for 5 bucks i'm guessing it is a good deal?

Thanks

For 5 bones you can't really go wrong If it's USB it should work straight out of the box, if it is a game port plug then things may be a bit more tricky.

Where aboots in Canada are you? I'm in Vancouver for a bit (in Kits/Point grey)

I was in Vancouver last week Timmo! Now over in Red Deer, Alberta

Doh! Well let me know if you are ever back these ways!

The only thing with the Wingman is it doesn't have a twist handle for rudder functionality.

If, as Connor mentioned, the Logitech "Wingman Attack 2" doesn't have a "twist" handle for control of the Rudder, then it is really not suitable for; "Flight Simulation" type programs!

Which makes me surprised that it has the; "Wingman" description!... ...!

Control of the Rudder, either by means of a "Twist" Joystick, or by use of separate Rudder Pedals, is essential to replicate real Aircraft flying conditions!

If you are going for a Joystick for a Flight Simulator, make sure it has a "Twist" function!

Joystick functions:

Forwards/Backwards = Elevator.
Left/Right = Ailerons.
Twist = Rudder.
Throttle= Engine power.

Just make sure it is actually the "Force" one though!
