Mojo2000:

I would be heavily inclined just to pick up a couple pairs of Saitek's cheapest flightsticks and hack them to arcade shafts (

NoOne=NBA=:

I've done the Saitek to Super base hack.
It feels really cheap.

I personally decided on Xenophobe sticks for my tank controls.
You get the heavy-duty feel, and can play other games with them.

Will the analog sticks for ~200.00 USD from Happ work with Assault?   I was considering getting a couple of these and making a dedicated Assault CP for my cab.  I know it's expensive but I love that game!  I'm Canadian too but I figure I can afford the cost 'cause I left Canada for a US job  ;D

The hard part will be convincing the wife  :(  (that is assuming I don't have to mod the sticks)

Flinkly:

um, as for either the handle parts themselves, or even the whole stick, you could send ponyboy a pm and he might be able to save you a few bucks.

MAME will allow you to use an analog stick on any stick game, but Assault came with 4-way joys, and it will really play better with plain 'ol 4-way joys, and cost a heck of a lot less.   If you've got the $$ to spring for a pair of analogs, buy a pair of 4-way bases and the appropriate handles and put 'em together.  The actual handles that were on Assault sticks can be bought with the part #s from this diagram:
