ok..Me being the low buget minded person that I am, I went to my Local Wal*Mart and picked up the AxisPad FX. it is a USB contoller with vibration it looks alot like the playsation game controllers . i plugged it into my WIN XP PRO and then calibrated it in FMS for stick Use (by the way it has the thumb sticks too) an Low and behold a cheap 4 channel contoller that works great in FMS. it cost just under $20 bucks .. No to try and program helis to work on it..
Just figured I'd let you all know..
happy flying
