#DRIVER MICROSOFT SIDEWINDER FORCE FEEDBACK 2 HOW TO#
There are tricks to getting deals on Ebay.ġ) Try searching a common spelling mistake.if you find one you will have no competition buyers.Ģ) Vague searches.like 'Joystick'.You will get many items but in those items you will get items items from folks who have no idea the worth of what they are selling nor on how to advertise it to get the most views.ģ) Items that are sold at normal working hours or in the middle of the night.Most Ebayers do their buying at weekends or after work between 6 and 10pm.Anything that is sold at this time will get maximum buyers interest.So look for ones that have end time in early mornings or work times and not weekend.Ĥ) Use a Snipe Website (like Goofbay).Snipes allow you to put your bid onto an item with only a few seconds to go without your PC needing to even be turned on.If you find an item you are intersted in then don't bid on it, only watch it.If you bid on it before the sale time you give any bidder that time to contemplate upping a bid.and don't forget during that time they only have to think its a good idea once to increase the sale price.A snipe simply stops them having the time to think about it.

You may also think thats a bit over the top.Well in my defence.what you are looking at here is under £100 ($160 US) worth of gear (least thats what it cost me on Ebay).How much do you spend on a joystick and Throttle?

I had so many I even donated 2 for the electrics I put into the 2 saitek x36 throttles you see here as the electrics are so good. Rgrt Evan.I flew with the non-FFB version for a few years and really liked the soft spring on them.You don't have to fight the stick.only the opponent and the last thing you want is a to be fighting the stick too.Īs for the other thread you are talking about.Is that the 'Which Stick' thread.?.I was planning on that thread actually ONLY being a thread for getting a concensus so it could maybe attached to the 'beginners Guide' or simply stickied.but it is starting to become a discussion which I pointed out not to be in the beginning.as always folks can't help I may see Snap about having posts removed to get the thread back to what it was meant for.ĭang.I bought so many when I first got one just incase it broke.now I have all these and none of them are broke!!!.sigh! Good to have you with us buddy.and remember its all about the Fun!!! Welcome to the community and forums Batmanz.~S~Ĭheckout the 'Beginners Guide'.for info and tips.It should save you a heap of time in getting up to scratch.and its a really fun learning curve anyway.Īlso try youtube for startup procedures on all the aircraft.Īny questions then you've come to the right place. PS.Sorry for ignoring this thread fellas.I didn't realise so many folks had been asking questions.But to answer them.The only thing I did with my stick was remove all the files from the 'FF' folder apart from the 'Spring' file.That just gives you return to centre.I didn't do any setup at all.It was just Plug and play.no problem.as long as its plugged in before the game boots it should work If you still are unhappy and you are good with DIY then I may have a spare grip in my attic.if you are in the UK I could send it you. What ever spirit you use test it on the bottom and make sure that you use it by dampening a cloth and not soaking it.DO NOT get any in the workings. Rgrt Batmanz.That is the red version with red trigger and top buttons.I have one too and the grip is sticky.I didn't like the sticky on that one either.The grip is the same as the standard cheap non-forcefeedback type except that it is non-sticky.I removed the grip and replaced it with the plastic grip.
