MT>> Does anyone know of a Yoke and Rudder pedals that would be compatible MT>> with the Amiga 2500 and SubLogic Flight Simulator II? Maxximum Corp made a version of their Maxx Yoke Controller for the Amiga. It had a switch on it (rather crudely installed) that switched between Digital (used by most Amiga games) and Analog modes. I have one (although I never use it). They stopped making it as Flight Sim II was the only program known to ever come out for the Amiga that offered an analog joystick mode. And because of that, sales were terrible. They also make rudder pedals for their controller, but I don't know if they work on the Amiga or not. Personally, the Analog vs Digital is one of the reasons that I really don't care for flight sims on the Amiga. On my VGA & Soundblaster equipped '386 (which only uses Analog sticks) the flight sims programs are very good, tend to be more realistic, etc. If fact, the only flight sim on the Amiga that I like is F/A 18 Interceptor, which on the IBM is called Jet Fighter II I believe. (at least it sure looks like the same program).
