Good Product But...

This wireless joy stick is very handy. I have not had any problems with the receiver being out of sight of the joystick. In fact I keep the receiver under my desk on top of my tower case. The stick has been all over the room within 10 feet of the receiver. I use it with IL2 Forgotten Battles and FS2004. My only complaint is it really needs a few more buttons and one more hat would be great. My biggest complaint is the sleep mode. Every two minutes you have to hit a button or it goes to sleep and you loose control of your aircraft. Try flying on auto pilot and you loose control when it goes to sleep. Hitting pause so you can read a map or whatever and when you return if you dont wake up the stick you will be in a tail spin. Don't sit on the runway too long or the stick will go to sleep and you will be at full throttle, ouch!. I wish the would put a disable sleep mode on the thing.
