does this stick work on simple programs like x-plane no combat

I have X-Plane 10, but find that the CH Flightstick Pro (USB) is somewhat unstable on this program. By working with it more I hope to improve it, maybe. I have an HP Pavilion i5 with 8 megs of RAM but maybe not the graphics that I need with some of the newer sims. I have an old PII with man sims running on it with a total CH set up, Flightstick Pro, Throttle Pro and CH Rudders with par. ports. With some real aircraft experience, I'll have to say that the old sims were the most realistic, even though they lacked in graphics. Also, you may have a later version than XPlane 10. I have read that '10' did have some control problems. Otherwise, the Flightstick Pro seems to work well with MS Flightsim X and some others I have. CH is a very good company. I've even toured their plant some years ago.

If the program suports a joystick (x-plane does), then a flight stick will work just fine.

Yes it does. It is very basic and does not have rudder/steering control so i have to use the keyboard number 5, 6,7 for steering left, center, right in that order. But otherwise it seems to be OK. But it is basic.

Works for me! I use it with a ThrustMaster X-Fighter. Edit (May 2015): However, because OS X provides no calibrator, any joystick becomes useless unless you virtualize Windows/Linux (which have calibrators) with something like Parallels/VMWare Fusion. If only the Rockfire unit came with installable drivers containing a calibrator like the Xbox 360 controller does. Unfortunately, they have not been maintaining/supporting the product at all.

This one stick I have left won't work on any computer. I tried it in many different machines w/no success. Sorry

It will work. Almost every single control can be assigned to something. Either you can set it up, or download a profile from Saitek. Personally, I use it more for X-Plane and Flight Simulator, so this isnt my top-quality response, but it will work with Elite Dangerous. Try watching some videos ;)

Yes. It works with X-Plane as well. You may have to set up each switch depending on the plane you're using.

It works on most popular FSims. Having said that! not so on RC FSims i.e. RealFlight or Easyfly...

Windows 7 has an XP emulator and runs Flight Simulator 2004 just fine. I ran the program for years on XP and recently upgraded to Windows 7 by saving all of my saved flights from XP and reloading. It was like I never left. Don't be concerned about XP or Windows 7, this program works flawlessly on both.

This switch panel now works in X-Plane 10, all versions of FSX, and in Prepar3d V2.x.The Saitek drivers are DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST.There are specific alternate drivers for X-Plane 10.For FSX and Prepar3d V2.x, use SPAD & FSUIPC to control them.

The Microsoft Force Feedback uses additional Signals not found on standard Joysticks.So the Answer is No.

I don'r know. I'm using it Windows 7. I guess it should work. It works on the Xbos ad Windows 7. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

if you're using a mac laptop to play this game X-plane 10 . i believe the joysticks you found might work on the mac just give it a try & see what happens . but the joysticks only for PC & not MAC you discovered are not compatible with your mac then just play the x-plane 10 without a joystick . Cause believe me it's better that way .

Yes and no. After I wrote my initial review on the Sidewinder, it worked great for about a week. Afterwards, it was hit or miss as to when it would work. I finally gave up and got this instead: Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight StickNo problems since!

Yes, it installed and worked on my Windows 7 laptop and desktop but the game is kind of lame and I dumped it. try IL-2 Sturmovik.

Not really. I have Flight Sim, Prpar3D, and XPlane. Win 8 does not work with any of them at least not without a lot of tinkering. Works ok with Win 7 and Win XP. Unbelievable that Saitek can't seem to get it right with proper drivers.

I have not encountered this problem before, but, if you enter the joystick calibration program from inside the Gold X program, you should be able to determine if the stick is operating properly by watching the response on the calibration screen. I do recall that years ago I had some issues with Microsoft CFS2 with loss of control of aircraft in the program, but, that was due to program errors and settings. If Gold X has difficulty settings, you might check those and see if they are set properly. Good luck.

I purchased this adapter for my CH Flightstick and it works great. I do not have CH Pedals. You have to play with the settings on your computer and the setup on the game you are using. I am not sure about a CH Flightstick Pro is the same as CH Flightstick. The Flightstick has only a trigger and a pickle button (bombs, missiles) and a slide bar for the throttle. It works great with a XP system using Janes USAF program.
