Hi..just new to flight sims.  recently purchased 2004 and am slowly working my way through the training.
I have been using a Logitech Wingman Attack 2 and it seems to be ok for my level.  But I am really having trouble with trim control using the Keyboard commands.  They just don't seem to work very well.
So, my question is this:
Is there a joystick (that doesn't cost a fortune) that incorporates a wheel or some kind of trim control feature?
Thanks.  I can see that I'm going to learn a lot on this site.

Allow me to be the first to say Welcome to SimV!

Although the price is a little higher than most want to pay, what you get out of them will far outweigh the cost and that is the CH line of peripherals.

The CH Flight Yoke is a must in my opinion, that along with the CH Pedals make for the most enjoyable realistic flight sim experience.

There is a trim wheel which takes some getting used to, you don't need to move it much but in the end this would be my recomendation for your first worthwhile upgrade!

The other products CH make are just as good, sure they aren't flashy futuristic looking but you can not beat the quality and precision of them, bottom line is they are worth every cent and will most likely be the last controllers you will buy. Which means you will be saving much more in the long run

You can set the buttons on the joystick to control trim. I find that very convenient.

Thanks for the answers.  I'll be looking into each of these things and appreciate your help.

More questions to follow I'm sure!
