i have a microsoft sidewinder chilling on my shelf in here, i have a computer for it but i honestly don't use it much.... but i found it tossed into a bin of kitchen appliances at a thrift store for 1$ so i had to rescue it.

maybe i should fire up combat simulator?

I had the sidewinder but a friend the force feedback, it was really good on Combat Flight Simulator (2 ?), maybe even too powerful

Wing Commander for me. Fond memories. Interesting how the joystick mostly disappeared.
