Flight sim help

I was wanting to get a flight sim and joystick.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Don't want the best joystick..but not the cheapest.

I have never had either...game or joystick.

:help:

Only flight simulator ive played is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2003...lets you pick from a lot of different real planes, like a Leir Jet, Boeing 757s and even old planes like the Wright Bros. plane that was first in flight. (Dec. 17th was the 100th anniversary for that).

If you want the most realistic flight sim, get X-Plane.

For a joystick, get a microsoft sidewinder that twists for rudder control.

There are several homebuilt airplane manufacturers that have used this as an initial testbed for their design concepts... a very nice program that I own as well :beer:
