one of my FAVORITE FFB joysticks i use to own and sadly they do not make it in FFB anymore.. Was the Logitech Thrustmaster Afterburner. This joystick was really made for IL-2 for real. The Force feedback was awesome.. and the best part is it had a detachable big throttle stick with lots of buttons on it and the best Rudder axis control on it that was on the throttle stick too then anything else besides real rudder peddles. It also had the twist stick on it too and you could switch bewteen the 2 rudder modes if you still wanted to use the twist stick. Man do i miss it..
And IL-2 was really made for FFB sticks since you really did feel the force in these types of aircraft. Once you go force feedback you never go back. They still make the non-forcefeedback version of this joystick im talking about and its still worth it just for the really good layout of desighn.
can still find them on ebay, amazon ect.
ps. Im not saying this is the best stick ever... just saying its one of the best ones worth the money.. Just remember you have to treat ALL forcefeed back sticks ALOT more nicer for it to last longer.
