Hi Ron,
I have an genious f-31 fighter 10-button USB joystick w/vibration. However,
it has some callibration issues. I wouldn't recommend getting a stick with
dynamic callibration, so be careful of that. It's better to be able to
manually callibrate the device in Control Panel.

Subject: [Audyssey] Asking for some game pad advice. Long lengthy letter.
Hello to my fellow game playing friends who are using some type of hand
held
device instead of the over used keyboard.
I now am thinking of up grading from my cheap little Philips retractable
game controller model 2909.
Can anyone offer me some positive feedback on what they are using instead of
using the poor abused over worked keyboard.
I'm looking for the following features in my hand held game pad, joy stick
or flight yoke. What ever it is called.
If at all possible, small and easy to learn how to use and to use it.
Must work with the latest and if at all possible all of the hand to ear
games that are out there that has the game pad written into the hand to ear
game.
When I was researching for the Microsoft Flight Simulator and the Its your
plane program. I saw a few yoke and petal sets out there for around $100 to
$200 range. But that also included the ms fs program.
I'm looking for something that is realistic working and realistically
looking as possible.
The games that I had in mind to use the hand held unit with are.
The new Three D Velocity flight simulator of course.
Munawar, to bad you couldn't add petals as well with the ffb game pad.
Jim Kitchen's puppy one WW 2 dog fighting game and Jim's other games that
have a game pad written into the program.
Aliens in the outback. To bad there wasn't a game pad feature written into
the PBA bowling game when we were beta testing it.
The games from Justin's BSC games and from PBC games.
The three games from Justin's bsc games I wished that something would work
with both versions of pipe. Classic pipe and more importantly blast chamber.
Hunter and Troopanum.
I think I've haven't left anyone out who has a game with a game pad written
into it.
I was hoping to get some guidance from my fellow blind gamer friends who
also
1. can relate with the word blindness and how we interact with our games.
2.already has something so that I can get tips and tricks and maybe the
manual so that I can read how to use the device. That way I might be able to
see which games the device works with and does not work with the unit.
3. Here's hoping that the store has a say 30 day return policy of some type.
That way I'm not out anything if it doesn't work. And the user who tells me
about the hand held unit can tell me where they picked it up at and if it
still can be purchased from that store.
I was disappointed that the Philips 2909 wouldn't work with the Blast
Chamber game that we beta testers had a ball testing. This is the original
reason why I was looking for something in the first place. This was before
the flying simulators came out. Especially Munawar's Three D Velocity flight
simulator written by and for the blind.
If you haven't test flown Munawar's three D Velocity blind flight simulator
out yet. Then you're missing out on a real treat.
If you'd like more info on the Three D Velocity game? Go out to
www.bpcprograms.com
Then to down loads. Then to game down loads which is the first of the three
links in the down load area. Then go down to Three D Velocity December
button and then down to down load button to grab it.
Munawar didn't know I was going to add this in my letter.
It really takes quite a bit of something to impress me. And it takes more to
have me recommend a product for my fellow blind hand to ear game playing
friends that I think may enjoy the product as well, and how well we blind
people can access all of the features in that product.
I hope Munawar isn't mad at me.
But take the movies Iron Eagles and Top gun and cross the two movies
together and you have this awesome blind simulator that was written by a
blind person for blind people to enjoy.
So far I enjoy the racing mode via the keyboard and the death match mode via
the hand held game pad unit.
I'm going to get a lot of hate mail for my opinions on the following
products. And before I give my opinions on the following topic. I would like
to offer my fellow blind pilot love to be a present.
For those who have access to RFBD services.
I found the following two books.
I started with NLS and they didn't have anything.
But RFBD has the following two books that might interest my fellow blind
pilot love to be.
The first book I really am enjoying. It pretty much was written for the
average person. The info is
GW694 An
