I haven't seen any posts on how games with analog sticks play on the 49-way. If Red Baron plays okay, then I might take the plunge and mount a flight stick on one.

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.

Easiest comparison would be to get a standard $15.00 PC USB joystick (more or less) and try that against the 49-ways.

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...)

If you went with the GP-Wiz49 Max - $11 or $15 per player less if you went with the Eco's.

software switching is done, but you'll want buttons for a versatile CP anyway.

--- Quote ---Did I miss any other add-ons to the joystick? I don't think the Balltop is available yet.

Balltop should be coming soon.  1Up is doing a Tron stick version, but the rotary won't work with it.
