please recommend a low cost "flightstick"

starter joystick . . .

avoid the lower end logitechs, I got a 3d pro gaming extreme. I had it for a 3 months, and the twist stuck, forcing the rudder to go and the stick kept pulling up and left halfway (by the squares in IL-2's joystick sensitivity settings) even when in neutral and on the logitech calibration software. I RMA'd and the new one works legit, but its my back up since I got a CH setup.

It was $25.

I'd say go with the advice and get the saitek. You can use it for other games, and then you can figure out if you like IL-2, you can something uber like a CH fighter stick.

Oh and expect some of frustration, while playing this game, when on realisitic settings. It can get hard as its close to real.


Also if you google IL-2 nuggets, you'll find a link to uber start up IL-2 how to play kinda thread, courtesy of bearcat.


I found out I liked IL-2 so much I got a complete CH set up.
