Best Flight Sim Yoke/Joystick

hi all.

i'm fairly new to flight simulators. i've been flying in them for a few years but never jumped in with both feet. i'm trying to get the more realistic flying enviroment so i'm looking at getting a Flight Yoke/Joystick for Flight Sim 04.

are there any personal recommendations?

of course price is always an issue with a newly married man with the plan of children in the near future. Something with a good medium of price and reality would be great. actually any recommendations would be great.

i've seen a few that i've listed below, but again, i've never used any of them and personal testimony goes a long way in my mind. I use Win2k, 3.2Ghz, 1gb ram, 256 ATI AIW Radeon.

Saitek X52 (@$100)
Saitek Aviator (@$40)
CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB (@$100)
Logitech - 3D Pro Joystick (@$40)
Logitech - Attack 3 Joystick (@$30)

thanks for your time and help everyone.

I have just bought a Saitek Cyborg Evo which cost me £35 localy. It has loads of buttons and a throttle. Check it out. Good value for money and simple to set up.

Thanks Mustang.
I've heard the Saitek's are very nice, just terrible customer support.

I use the CH Flight Yoke and the Logitech 3D Pro. I would recommend either of them. If I could only have one, it would be the Yoke. I use the joystick for helicopter , aerobatic(combat) and tail wheel aircraft flying and the Yoke for everything else.
