Joystick recommendations?

I can't remember Wings. I recall having Gauntlet2, Galaga and a few others. Man looking over that list sure does bring back memories.

Good 'Simulations' are:

IL-2 http://www.pacific-fighters.com/en/screenshots.php
Falcon 4 http://www.f4hq.com/default.php?page=default
Flight Simulator X http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulatorx/
Combat Flight Simulator 3 http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3/

There are a pletheroa of other 'arcade' like flight games. One I have, but havent' had time to play is Pacific Storm, it combines, RTS, strategy, and a flight sim all in one...

If I could find a up to date WW1 flight sim similar to Red Baron or Red Baron 2, I would buy and play it...

Flight Simulator X definitely. Later I may try out a combat sim or two but what I am looking for is the non-combat type.

Id still recommend the cougar even for a commercial plane...and then you will have it when you want to play a combat game...all of the buttons don't just have be used for weapons, you can set them up to whatever you may need to fly a non-combat plane.
