  "it is old, like me, but like me it still keeps ticking over... 4 now ;)"

  by When-Im-64 on May 15, 2008

  Pros: I had to calibrate it, but it worked perfect, detected my joy stick Wingman Force 3d, and I now have force feed back... which XP sp2 seems to have killed... use it to fly FS9 and CFS 1, 2, & 3... and no doubt if I get FS X, AND a dual core machine, I'll use it then as well... like I said, it is old, but it works well... don't know what all the grumbling is about... driver worked like a charm... ta-tah-4-now... oh, and I won't be upgrading to Vista... if I do upgrade it will be to Apple OS-X, with XP as a secondary for playing games...

  "Wingman is old now,& barely gets the job done.(like me!!)"

  by comeon61 on May 8, 2008

  Pros: It has the correct shape and feel for a joystick,& the

  actions are alright.

  Cons: The throttle control is all wrong.There should be a thumb

  wheel on the left side of the hand grip.(similar to the mouse wheel.)

  "Works well, easy to install and use"

  by djlassmann on August 23, 2007

  Pros: This program installs quickly and easily. It autodetects any connected logitech gaming devices and correctly identifies the exact models. Calibration of devices is equally quick and easy. I am using an old Wingman Extreme 3D joystick and a new Dual Action game controller in Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Both devices work fine, although the joystick has a handle twist problem. (the joystick, not the software)

  Cons: However, I did find it necessary to change and adjust button and axis assignments using the simulator's controller settings.

  "Typical logitech junk"

  by Fblack on November 2, 2006

  Pros: logitech hardware is often very nice looking and they have good ideas. The software is different story. I hope one day they get serious competition, maybe the quality of their software will pick up.

  Cons: #1 Their software fails to calibrate my joystick and my game pad.It wont do it on my PC. Oddly enough on my mac with 3rd party software, i have little calibration issues. So 3rd party drivers are superior to logitech the manufacturer--whats up with that? #2 support does not respond to emails.
