MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Thrustmaster HOTAS Flightstick + MAME

Last year, I bought an 8-way flight stick from SuzoHapp with the intent on installing into my existing control panel. Alas, as I feared, I did not have the real estate on my existing control panel to install it. I've thought about making up a separate box for it, but that's probably down the road.

Then I got to thinking about analog flight sticks.

But again, the problem is available real estate.

So instead, I opted for a temporary cheaper option, the Microsoft Attack3 analog joystick. It works okay for most games, but the accuracy and weight leaves something to be desired.

I've been eyeing the Thrustmaster HOTAS flight stick for awhile and I've always held back because of the price. I was wondering if anyone out there has used the Thrustmaster HOTAS flight stick with MAME or any other emulator and can comment about accuracy/feel or any other thoughts on it's worth it.
