The Wingman Extreme is an awesome joystick to use -- I think it has a 
much better feel than the Thrustmaster. Unfortunately, it is 
not nearly as robust, and several people (including myself) have had 
breakages of either the trigger switch or the hat switch.

Logitech replaced mine fairly promptly when my hat switch broke.

You most certainly can. Also, unlike the CH Flightstick, you can actually 
use all the buttons at the same time as the hat. This gives you a big 
advantage, since you can slide, turn, and shoot all at the same time (and 
thus execute the famous "Doom circle of death" move).

Yep.

Hope this helps...
Later,
Jon
