    Hey folks. Someone stole the "ball" off one of the joysticks for my cab. Are these standard sizes or different from make to make? Where can I pick up a new one?

    They seem to be fairly standard, although there are adapters available to convert between different types.

    Impressive ball removal skills unless that CP lifts up easy. Aren't they normally screwed tight from underneath?

    I have a set of rock solid sticks I'm getting rid of soon, if you want I'll let you know when I'll be shifting them on Adverts, they are only openable from inside the CP, the are also in black.
    I'd be interested in a trade if you like, when the time comes.

    The ball always screws into the shaft like that.

    What Andrew76 meant is that they're screwed on so tight that you need to lift the control panel and access the bottom of the shaft to unscrew them.

    Sounds like the ball was far too loose.

    When you get the replacement, lift the control panel, clamp the bottom of the shaft with something and twist the ball top on so tight that nobody could ever unscrew it.

    I actually tightened it as best I could with no access to inside the panel, only had one game on it because the LCD screen is missing loads of the picture, and em its got an LCD:o

    Generally not a good idea to publicly post your email address, can be a target of spammers etc
