My 2 favorites are the Saitekstick and throttle combo ( I forget the model name. ) and the Thrustmaster Hotas stick and throttle combo. The second is what I use most but it is also the most expensive.

I just use a Logitech Wingman Extreme, Digital 3D. It'sinexpensive (less than $30) and works great. I can't imagine needing anything more expensive, unless I wanted force feedback.

The good old Microsoft Precision Pro USB. Tight little stick; works great if you don't have huge mits. The only better stick I've ever found is the MS Force Feedback Pro, which of course is also not made anymore Too bad they don't make them anymore


I also have a Saitek X-52 that is collecting dust on my shelf because of the unfreakinbelievably huge deadzone which Saitek says is not a defect and won't take back. Want to buy it from me?

Logitech Extreme 3D PRO, it's like how I like my women.........



Cheap and Easy



Only prob is I can't get the buttons at the base of the stick to fire.Yes I can map them with the Key-Map but when I try to use em, they do nothing.......

Yep. The only problem with mine is that if I knock the throttle lever the entire way down, my speed will stay about half. Have to gradually pull it down to avoid that.
