I use some cheap joystick but i want the microsoft one.
which do u use?
I do not think MS makes their joystick anymore. I use the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and am quite satisfied with it. If you shop around, you can find it for less than $30.

Thats it!, very good one.
I use the Saitek X45. I bought it for $64, but I've seen it on eBay for $20-$30.
The Saitek is a very good joystick, especially if you do a lot of "bare knuckes" flying. The feel of the throttle is excellent.
I use saitekst90
I use a satiek st90 coast $20
wow i thought to have a good joystick i woul have to spend 200-300$ like the one from microsoft
which one is the best joy stick?
I would use for comercial flights rather than military fighting stuff, so shooting buttons are not essential.
Just trottle, vibration, and all the stuff needed 😀
I am using an old MS Sidewinder. It has the basic buttons, a hat, a slider. Been using it for 5-6 years, works great.
I use the MS SideWinder Precision Pro2 USB which is no longer available.
If I had to buy one today I would go for the Saitek brand, probably a X45 or X52.
Go to a store to see how it handles before you buy one, Amazon usually has good prices.

I use the Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick. I find that it performs all standard tasks, and handle's very nicely. I got it as a gift, so I don't know how much it cost when it was bought, but I'm sure you'll find it for a good price online.

I use a Microsoft Precision Pro(Not feedback) and it works fine. If you were planning on spending that much money I would go with the CH yoke and pedals. They are expensive, but I think for most flying they are the most realistic and the smoothest.
gentlemen, time for a yoke!!!

Me too... 😉
I use an ancient...Saitek ST50 with serial port...Time to get something newer 😉

So which would be more realistic, a yoke without pedals or a joystick which provides for separate rudder control?
BTW, if you go to froogle.com and search for "ch yoke usb", you will find them for as low as $93.

i would say they come in a pair. if you use the ch yoke, you dong have any other rudder input without the ch rudder pedals. so make a budget for two 🙂

What is force feedback?
forcefeed back is the motion simulation for the joystick, especially on the ground, you feel the vibration as a result of different speeds and surface bumpiness. in the air, it gives some resistence to your handling.
i wish my ch yoke had this capability
i use a Saitek X52 but most of my flying is done in IL2 forgotten battles

Without the rudder pedals I would go for the stick with rudder control. The CH yoke with the pedals is a great setup, and that's no yoke.🙂
What joy sticks do have force feed back?

Logitech for one makes more than one force feedback stick.
