Can anyone recommend a joystick for FSX that is "better" than my old Logitek Extreme 3D Pro? The 3D pro is OK, but tracking and stability leave a lot to be desired.

I use a Saitek ST90 It is a basic model has a reasonably good throttle control no rudder contol or hat switch But I have peddles for the rudder and use the ARROW KEYS as a hat switch for spot panning . It seems to work ok for me. but if you need a rudder axis than this will not work. 8-)

I'm a big fan of the Saitek AV8R.  Mode toggles, a bunch of switches, twist rudder, ... A little on the light side, but you're not yanking and banking in this sim like you do in combat sims so it's not really an issue.

Of course a yoke would better suite FSX.

well, id use a Saitek X52 Pro (tones of programmable buttons, 2 rotary controls (flaps, trim, spoilers), twist stick 4 rudder, an MFD showing u info, and mode switching).  but if ur only gonna play FS, and nothing else, then a yoke is 4 u, unless u like fighter jets in FS.  ur choice really.
