Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is your best bet.

And you're likely to get a bunch of people in here saying you don't need a joystick, I'd ignore them if I were you. :)

Exactly my thoughts.

Keyboard and mouse

I heard from many, many people that keyboard and mouse are a lot easier, and I use keyboard and mouse too. Saves you time and money to go out and buy a joystick.

Flying with a keyboard and mouse is good in the beginning, but later on you will want to buy a joystick.

Just because you people are more skilled than you does not mean they are noobs, it's rather the contrary.

I am amazed at how the word "noob" is used these days.

Amen. IMO, buying a stick is a waste of money

I use the Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless joystick. Only down fall is it is wireless, but I highly recommend it. The Extreme 3D pro is very good too.

At least for me, I've noticed my flying skills get better as a result of buying a joystick. It feels more natural to fly with a stick than a keyboard and mouse. BTW I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, IMO one of the best sticks out there as far as feel and number of programmable buttons.

My keyboard and mouse have tons more programmable buttons than any joystick :p

i only use joysticks for flight simulators

Well, it seems the Logitech joystick is getting all the praise so I'll stick my oar in and recommend the trusty old M$ Sidewinder. Can't beat the twist stick for even tighter turns!

As for a stick being a waste of money, I'd go and see your paper round union reps if I were you because they are clearly not paying the national rate. £30 is all I paid for my stick. :p

I have the MS sidewinder too, even though its about 6 years old it still works like a charm
