Well, I finally got to actually use this (it was a birthday gift so I needed to wait for my birthday...), and I now fully understand what Dowly and others were driving at.

For anyone else looking at this thread and asking the question I did, the force feedback is really nice. I was reluctant since it seemed to me to be a "gimick" and I didn't feel I needed to "feel the guns" to enjoy the sim. Plus, it seemed to me as just something else to potentially fail...

After just a short time on the Saitek Cyborg EVO Force Feedback, it is a real aid to your flying--you can feel a stall condition developing which is huge in combat where you might have your attention elsewhere and that tactile feedback really alerts you to the need to pay attention or else the enemy will not need to expend any ammo on you...

Bottom line, a super buy at under $50 (easy to find on e-bay for under $50 with shipping...).

Thanks for the offers to fly guys, but I'm still working on gaining basic proficiency...someday soon though I will take you up on your offer!
