Well after using my Microsoft Thrustmaster joystick since 1997, purchased for the release of FS98, I have decided its time to move on to something a little more refined. A bit more mature and overall realistic....

JB, I have one of the Saitek X52 joysticks, so let me tell you,
YOU are buying ONE OF THE BEST Joysticks out there.
Absolutely FANTASTIC.
I Love it, and so will you, or your money back(Well, I don't have enough money to refund 100 Euros, so, you're SOL.)
Sorry!
Cheers,
Doc.

Very good joystick, although it'll take you a while to get the programming software set up properly.
p.s. I won't tell you how much I paid so you don't egt dissapointed

Good idea.
The X52 is probably one of the best sticks out there. It's my dream stick anyway. I hope to get one at some point.

I prefer the CH Yoke for the added realism
Hopefully I'll get a better compy and some rudder pedals this year to make it even better!

I LOVE my CH Yoke and Pedals. MUCH better than any Saitek IMO!

I guess it depends on what you fly.
