New package up on the site that's only $20 to get into closed beta rather than the $50 packages. Looks like they want more people. I'm debating it... However, my X-55 Rhino should be coming in the mail next week, so I'll be too busy getting that set up and using it in SB and RB. HOORAY FOR PILOT TOYS!! (as opposed to pilot porn like P-51s whistling through the skies)

X-55 Rhino. Is this a joystick? Ooo, it is.
Unfortunately it's Saitek. I can't stand them since they were bought by madcatz.

Thrustmaster fills in the low end and the high end. Even then, the high end only with the Warthog. I have other saitek products and they work beautifully (rudder pedals and throttle quadrant).

That's true. I'm using a cheap logitech right now. They don't seem to last long, but they are cheap enough that it's ok.
My sidewinder precision pro, on the other hand, still functions. However, it is a game-port version and won't connect to a USB. There is a guy in spain who sells converters, but they are something like $50 before international shipping...
The precision pro is the Hanzo sword of joysticks and it was sidelined because microsoft doesn't even support the product anymore...

Ha, yeah. I had the Microsoft Force Feedback Pro back in the day. Think it's laying in a box somewhere at his house still. Best joystick I've ever owned. Sadly, game-port as well.

Speaking of the tanks, I got my CBT invite. I've gotten to play a few rounds. It's great.
Killed a Panzer IV in my panzer II with an arty strike. It was fun.
Match maker can be serious bullshit though. We were running panzer II's and got matched against a team with an SU-152 (high tier destroyer) and a freaking Tiger.
