    Recommended Joystick?

    Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a new joystick for flying helo's and planes. What do some of you guys use and love to fly with? I was looking at the X52 from saitek. What do you guys think about that setup?

    Thanks in advance!

    The XBOX 360 controller works well for me. Mouse and keyboard for the helos.

      Logitech Force 3D Pro works great with the JoytoKey as well.

            I prefer the X45 to the X52. For me, it's more sturdy. The X45 has a rocker on the throttle as opposed to a twist stick. I like that setup too. Also, Saitek released rudder pedals for those with bucks and a taste for a little more realism to the feel of flight.

              Install the drivers from microsoft.com, then plug it in. It's USB.

                      Thanks for the responses. I'll start looking for the Logitech 3d-pro. That seems to be the best all-around as far as price and performance. Also I started to practice using the keyboard and mouse on helicopters, and it's not that hard. Thanks again!

                        Saitek cyborg evo is also good.

                            yeah keyboard and mouse for heli is a great combo but for planes id forget it unless you really want to spend hours mastering it
