Simple Joystick with throttle and rudder? Wow thats simple enough :P
My definition of simple is just a joystick with nothing else :P

Thanks

You really should check out some pawn shops, or second-hand thrift shops......Everytime I've gone into one there are at least a couple of joysticks......usually $5 or $10

in the meantime you could try this  ::) http://download.cnet.com/Mouse-as-Yoke- ... 70206.html

Well yes ok, a very simple joystick is indeed a joystick with just... a stick.

But that's not the standard anymore. Nowadays, and since several years already, a standard joystick MUST have a throttle control, and the stick can twist to control the rudder.

I am using a simple joystick that is very, VERY old now. It's a Microsoft Sidewinder with (deactivated because useless) forcefeedback system. It has a throttle and a rudder control.

"Complex" joysticks are things like X-52, that reproduce an almost real F-16 stick and throttle. That's complex.
