Jim Calvert 866790 Posted January 5, 2009 at 11:20 PM Posted January 5, 2009 at 11:20 PM I have no joystick anymore ( the old one failed). So can I get some suggestions for a good joystick without pedals. That means it has to be a twister for rudder axis. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Krajcar Posted January 6, 2009 at 12:06 AM Posted January 6, 2009 at 12:06 AM Saitek's AV8R is a nice stick, very reasonably priced, and is my 'backup' to my CH yoke, and military stick. Tim Krajcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erhan Atesoglu 1050499 Posted January 6, 2009 at 12:36 AM Posted January 6, 2009 at 12:36 AM I second that recommendation on the Saitek AV8R. Liked it so much I bought a Saitek X52 pro I personally don't care for yokes/pedals either, to me it looks as useful as a trackball. http://www.pond64.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 6, 2009 at 12:45 AM Posted January 6, 2009 at 12:45 AM I think that depends on what you fly. I have and use both, yoke and a x52.

That equals her "What this dress, I've had it in the closet for years, I just never wore it". Works on us doesn't it?
