I have a Saitek and cannot say anything bad about it. However, I also use a lot of logitech's desktop periphrals and cannot knock them either. So don't count them out either. So long as it has: Throttle, 6-way stick (that is, front, back, left, right, and a twist left, twist right) you should be okay.

ok, how about this: a saitek st290 or a logitech attack 3 joystick. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Saite...oductDetail.do
or this:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1064603551671

Still doesn't twist. Unfortunately it don't look like you're going to be able to get a cheapie and be happy with it. Cuz in all honesty, you need a twistable stick for full control of choppers and planes.

all right all right all right. dam, this is goin to take me a month or so or more (i own 35 bucks for bf2) and i made my final decision. a saitek cyborg evo joystick. link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1058188744427 tell me if it sucks. or it wont work or if it dont have twist stuff. but it says it does.... so. yea
EDIT: also, i was wondering, for those of u flying wit joysticks... is it easy to convert back to the keyboard?

[NoSoup4You]

I have the previous version of this, the Cyborg 3d Rumble Force, it works great.

Save yourself some money:

nice. thnx. but my question remains. is it easy to convert back to the keyboard? ex: when u jump out of the aircraft.

[NoSoup4You]

Yes very, I have my eject and parachute both programed onto my joystick for emergency jetisons.

LOL, you could always get the new Saitek X52 HOTAS system for $97.

Its on Newegg, and it looks kick ass, if I had the extra money, I'd get it. Looks like they listened to everyones requests from the X45 and put it into the X52.
