I have downloaded Proflightsimulator (for Mac) but cannot get my Saitek Cyborg 3D Platinum joystick to fully respond. Is this a software problem as I haven't downloaded any software as the disc I have is for Windows. Is there a good joystick out there that anyone has found good for their Mac? Advice most welcome!

The Logitech Extreme 3D seems to be one of the best choices, for the least amount of money.
It needs no install software, has 12 buttons and works great out of the box.
You can get it on Amazon for little over 20 bucks and it looks like this...

There are no Mac drivers for the Cyborg you have, so if it doesn't already work with OS X, then you'll have to follow SM's advice or look for a Joystick that specifically supports the Mac..

I been playing EvE Online up until 2 yrs ago... it's a MMORPG, great to play, but it unfortunately took
too much of my time to continue... so I quit.
