Saitek Aviator, I have the very first version. The stick itself isn't too much to write home about, logitech attack even has a better stick IMO BUT it has dual throttles which means I can assign elevator trim to one of them and that's sooooo important when you're flying, you have to haveelevator trim on an axis IMO. Also the saitek is easy to program with and you basically have 3 x 12 buttons (36) with the mode switcher. I also have a logitech attack but it only has one throttle lever and no twist rudder, I wish I could have the logitech attack stick on my saitek aviator....

I have a thrustmaster Hotas X and it is a good stick but if you can find a Sidewinder FF2 in good knick grab it. Great stick and very precise for gunnery. I initially had a centering problem after spawning (stick was slack until flying) but fixed that with a regedit change.

Can you explain how you did that? Thanks!
