I've always used the Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner II. It doesn't have force feedback but it does have a detachable throttle and looks pretty cool

Another option would have been to purchase a game port module; I'm pretty sure most motherboards support this (i.e. they have pins to connect the module). This way you could have kept your current joystick at a very small price.

Its OK, I got the non-Force Feedback one anyway! Really want to get the joystick on its way, only thing is that I need to send a personal Cheque and the seller hasn't supplied his address....
Got it for
