Flight stick: 8-way or analog?

There's no need to make up a story. Just order the stick without the thumb buttons. Order two thumb buttons, drill two holes in the backplate and install them.

Yeah I would put a single thumb button in the DOT location... but I figured, if I was putting in one, why not two? Maybe it's overkill. I guess since I was real close to ordering an 8-way Tron stick with double thumbers, I figured why not get (or make) the same thing, in analog. But now that you mention it, I can think of exactly zero games needing two buttons. But then again, I always play my faves, the classics, and rarely explore the other 3,000 or so games I've never played.

Correct me if I'm wrong since I never played Aquajack in the arcade, but judging from the MAME version and KLOV, it appears that Aquajack only requires an 8-way joystick and an analog gas pedal. Since you have an analog stick from an Aquajack, I guess the game works with either analog or 8-way. I searched KLOV when I first got my analog stick and I found several 8-way games that used double thumbs, but I didn't find any analog ones.
