What Joystick?

[fanoodlehey]

I'm looking into getting a usb joystick for use with flightgear. Can anyone recommend a stick that will work well with that game, has good support under kubuntu and can be configured easily.

If you already have a PS2 or PS1 with Dual Shock, get a USB PS2 adapter. Its what I use and works very good for games like Descent 3, Freespace, Vegastrike and stuff.

I'm not aware of which controllers do work.. I do know that InterAct controllers are crap, and when I had one of their sticks, it would never work in Linux.

Never had a PS so no controllers. I like the idea of a joystick though.

Cheers, I'll take a look at the logitech stuff then. Did it just work out of the box or did you have to download any software? Do you have any options to configure it?

no i havent install any special software/drivers just plug in and it works
configuration can be done in games :)
