Urgg, I hate those things. They just mess up the pitch and roll controls.

2) A throttle for managing your engine.

This is very good to have, not absolutely necessary, but very highly desireable.

[3) At least 6-8 buttons and a point-of-view hat switch to change your views without using the keyboard. If it has rotary switches or an extra throttle lever even better, as that will help you map another engine function to it, like propeller pitch (to manage engine RPM) or fuel mixture.

I need four (fire, fire rockets, drop bombs, fire without cannon(s)), more than that would be a luxury that I wouldn't necessarily use.
