Default Realflight g2-Can I buy a Controller?

I flew my G2 flight sim today, and when I flicked the retract switch, it broke, and now moves freely. Can I buy a new controller? Does great planes offer any kind of replacement? I really need help,
Austin

I don't know about G2... Might give Great Planes or Knife Edge a call and see what they can do, and if there's any sort of warranty on an older product. In the meantime, you can always plug your real transmitter in and just use the Interlink as an interface. Also, there are plenty of how-to posts in these and other forums about using other joystick controllers with G2 and/or other sims.... might take some digging, but I know they're there!

You can also get a new switch and solder it in yourself. I did this when I had G2 (now have G3). I contacted Great Planes tech support, and they sent me a new switch. You acn probably find switches at radio shack too.

They will probably repair it for you, but you'll be w/o the controller while it's repaired.

Thanks guys, I opened it up and realized how easy of a fix it is! I'll call GP and see what they can do.
