Would PSX work well with something like this?

Perhaps the throttle axis, and reverse thrusts could be substituted for the mouse?

I'm sceptical.

This is a speed control, not a position control.

Cursor position controls are always much better than cursor speed controls. Imagine you play tennis with that knob.

Thanks Hardy, I will look around the inter-webs and see if I can find another accessory that can interface with your software and provide a 'tactile' feel.

Mouse clicking on the throttles isn't doing it for me right now :P

How about using the wheel of your mouse, or a track ball?

Ah -- didn't know that function was already assigned to the mouse wheel.

That certainly helps; I'll play around; wasn't too sure if the reverse thrusts are also assigned the the scroll wheel.

Thanks,
