rice........want as much realism as possible
many thanx
There are quite a few joysticks available. I use the old MS Sidewinder and have absolutely no problems with it. One of these days I'll get a yoke and pedals but until then...

You don't need "force feedback".
iis it fairly simple to attach pedals and seperate throttle so as to make the manual controls more realistic?
this would be exactly the package that i need..(seperate cyclic,collective, throttle and antitorque controls) 😉
These are the best for the money.
Check out this web-board, there are many questions and answers about this that may help you.
Also, look for a joystick that has a rudder option in its function. These are a must for controlling helicopters - but if you are willing to spend money on pedals, check this out:
