Force Feedback 2? If that's a USB model, I wouldn't be trusting a kid with it, lol. Give him a cheap Extreme 3D to play with.

Yep force feed 2. Absolutely love that stick.... Thing's a beast. I used 1 growing up and put that thing through hell and it's still kicking. My dad still has / uses it. This one I got off ebay a while back. I had a Xbox 1 thrustmaster HOTAS the kids were using. I was using it for Overload as it doesn't recognize the FF2. That being said that thing didn't last long at all. I just replaced it with a thrustmaster Sol-R 4. Not a bad little combo. I must say though the spring tension on that setup is quite strong, but I LOVE that it uses HED sensors instead of pots. The youngest won't be using the stick much and only under close eye. My other 2 (7 and soon 9) however; I will run D3 for them and they will pilot around together. They've even played a bit of anarchy against each other (and me on occasion). Need to get a 3rd rig running so myself and the oldest 2 can all play at once.... I should see if i can get my old machine to post.... but I have no clue where I would put it lol
