I haven't tried the FireBird, but an independant computer mag. here in
Sweden gave it a 2 of 5. They said it was "flimsy" (Kind of, hard to
translate ;-) Anyhow, the Thrustmaster FLCS-F16 got 5/5. Best in test!
I have one and I can back that up! It's the best joystick I have ever
tried! (No I'm not an employee from TM ;-)

It can be a bit difficult to program, yes, but at least I picked up on
it pretty fast. If you still think it's hard download the Windows
version, available from the ThrustMaster homepage.( Although I think
the DOS version is faster and better anyhow.) It has visual support,
and is very easy to learn!
