If Red Baron plays okay, then I might take the plunge and mount a flight stick on one. --- End quote --- I'd check it out for you, but I never played Red Baron in the wild, and I don't have an A-Pac yet (8-axis version, Andy!) to try it with a real analog stick, so I've got nothing to compare the 49-way play to. |

Although I think the Star Wars comments were fair - You could hit the Tie Fighters if they just happened to be in your sights - slightly better than an 8-way stick, but nowhere near a true analog. |

So to recap the 49 way topics, to build a pretty versatile CP I'd need about $100 USD per player?: * Midway 49-Way Optical Joystick - $33.00 * GP-Wiz 49 Max $34.95 * Rotary Adapter $25 and 7 buttons to set the joystick modes (2,4,8, etc...) |

I don't think the Balltop is available yet. --- End quote --- Balltop should be coming soon. 1Up is doing a Tron stick version, but the rotary won't work with it. |
