    Which is a shame, because the MS joysticks / gaming hardware (like the sidewinder thing for RTS games, or the voice com's stuff before teamspeak/skype was popular) was excellent.

    separate throttle =

    i wouldnt bother with force feedback myself. and instead look at getting a generally better stick - its not like a racing wheel where you can use the feedback to "feel" what the cars doing. there is very little feedback in actual aircraft

    MS Sidewinder FF + Wargasm was brilliant

    Saitek AV8R is another possibility (Amazon.co.uk: Saitek AV8R Retro Joystick (PC): PC & Video Games).

    Great budget stick that has a dual throttle, v useful for flight sims. Review here if you want to know more: Saitek Aviator or AV8R review - IT Reviews
