to purchase a new stick
In the middle of a sortie my Logitech Force 3D pro gave in and keeps leaning to the left, I have half the response when I turn left and in the calibration it confirms that fact as he only goes halfway towards the border.
tried anything, turning FF ON/OFF, pulling the plug in and out, reboot.
but after 2 years of heavy duty, its kaput!
so I'm planning to purchase a Saitek ASAP
