I just ordered the Thrusmaster Hotas from Amazon for $30. I can't hardly go wrong at that price. It's supported by the upgrade and is the choice of this forum, at least prior to the update. I'm a little concerned about quality but it looks and sounds better (to at least several guys on this forum) than the Aviator. I like it cause it has a seperate throttle stick with the rudder inputs on front of the throttle to work with the fingers. It looks like you never take your hands off the sticks in combat. Hell, it's cheaper than a Sony controller! Looking forward to it!!
