Can anyone recommend a good Flight Stick for me??

Hey all,

I suppose this is the best place for this topic...so...

I'm thinking of buying MS Flight Simulator 2004 this week. However, I don't have a very good joystick to run it with.

I was wondering if any of you could recommmend a good, reliable, quality stick for $50 or under?? I'm not prepared to spend much more than that on a flight stick that I'll only be using a game or 2 with.

And recommendations would be splendid! Thanks! :)

hmmm

well a good stick with throttle to my knowledge will go over 60$ easily, I payed 79 for my saitek X45 but then I again I do a lot with it, so i am not sure if I can help you, but try these sites and check up on prices.

Saitek.com
Microsoft
Thrustmaster

For occational use, a MS Sidewinder joystick works fine as with flight sim and you can pick one up off ebay for $5-10.

MS precision 2, best stick i have ever used, and ive tried them all.

Got something stuck in your throat there? Maybe something in his price range?

As the others have said, the various MS sidewinders are good, although MS is going to be discontinuing them. Logitech also makes some good sticks, as does Thrustmaster.

I found a MS Forcefeedback2 (retail @$100) on e-bay for @$30. What a flight stick!
