[hellas1]

Hi Folks,

I have an old Microsoft Sidewinder from quite some time back and wanted a new aircraft joystick/controller...whatever you call it.

Can anyone recommend a GREAT flightsim joystick please?

Thank you,

For serious stuff players usually commend Saitek Pro-Flight X65F Combat Control System or Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System. expensive though.

In cheaper prices the most famous is Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick, beginners usually start by purchasing this model. Thrustmaster T-16000M PC Flight Stick is also a great choice & not as expensive as the saitek models, that is because they come with more features. Players also purchase Fighterstick Joystick that is around 100$ if i remember correctly.

I havent tried the Saitek X65f but I do have the X52. If you are willing to spend the money on something like this they are definitely worth it.

These style joysticks are called HOTAS or Hands On Throttle And Stick. Thrustmaster also makes several different styles that have both a throttle and joystick with numerous buttons ranging in price from $40 to $500. I assume you are wanting this for World of Warplanes so I would definitely suggest something in the HOTAS category. As a long time Combat Flight Sim player, having that throttle with extra buttons is definitely worth it.

Here is one of the cheaper Thrustmasters at $50.
