I recommend that you buy a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick. These are not available new but can be obtained used off ebay for very modest prices considering they are still, even now, the best joystick ever made. They are built like tanks, weigh a couple of kilogrammes due to the force feedback mechanism and enable you to fly right on the edge of the stall because you can feel the plane through the stick. Every other stick mentioned thus far in this thread is a joke compared to one of these, I have 3 of them and paid less than £20 for each, even the one most used with a little play in the stick mechanism is a joy to fly with. It all comes down to whether you prefer to have lots of buttons to play with or like flying on the edge. An FFB2 has more than enough buttons to fly any fighter. Microsoft stopped making them because they ruined it's reputation for making crap, can I say more?
