Right into the Danger Zone
Lately I’ve been playing a lot of Desert Combat a mod for Battlefield 1942. I have some friends who like to fly helicopters a lot and you’re pretty much dead meat if you’re on the ground, unless you get lucky with a stinger (which isn’t very often for me). To combat this problem I need a joystick so I can fly jets and helicopters myself. The problem is, I’ve been using a laptop because my house doesn’t have grounded outlets. I have an old CH Flightstick Pro from my CompUSA days but my laptop doesn’t have a game port (big surprise). So today I did a Google search for a USB to Game Port adapter. Low and behold RadioShack makes one. So I picked it up and everything works great except for the POV hat, guess you can’t have everything. Plus $17 is a whole lot cheaper than $100+ for a new USB joystick. Time to kick some helicopter ass!
