I have the Microsoft Flight Simulator and find that "flying" with a mouse just doesn't make it, you know? After calling about 10 billion computer stores, I found a one joy stick unit that works with the MAC. When you move the stick, it causes the cursor to move at a pre-determined rate in the direction of the stick movement but returning the stick back to "home" will not result in the cursor following that action. This joy stick is quite different from the normal mouse. I want to find a joy stick that acts like the mouse, but looks and feels like a stick. I wonder why no one has thought of this before?
