Hi everyone
I am fairly new to flight simulator, and I'm thinking of getting a better joystick than I have now, which isn't designed for flight simulator
This is the one that I have now

As you can see it has a "digital throttle" so therefore you only have 4 choices in throttle really, which isn't great for taxiing. It does not have a hat switch. It is not twistable so you can't use it for taxiing. So as you can see it is designed for some other game, not FS
So now I'm going to get a new joystick. What I'd like in my new joystick would be
- Smooth Movement
- Twistable Handle (for taxiing)
- Analog Throttle (as in a normal throttle, where you just slide the lever up and down)
- Hat swtich (for obvious reasons)
- And maybe Force Feedback (this isn't a necessity, so if a joystick doesn't have it, it doesn't matter)
I would also like anything else which would be essential to have on a joystick for FS2004
I live in Ireland if that matters
Also what is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 like with Force Feedback?? This would have been my first time using force feedback so I don't know. Is it realistic or does it bounce away at times for no reason??
Thank you for the help in advance,
