[Guest]

I've just installed FS 2004, and it rapidly becomes
obvious that a joystick is needed.

I'm running XP home edition on an HP Pavillion A630n ...
anyone recommend a make of joystick?

Please reply here or to eboracum2004(no spam)@hotmail.com

Thanks

Ebo -
Almost any of them will work. Look for USB with Windows XP
noted on the box. CH products are perhaps the best, also
costly. If you can find a late version of MSFT Sidewinder
on eBay it should give a lot of bang for the buck.

TYhe CH Products flight yoke and rudder pedal controllers
are the most realistic. Be sure to get the yoke
controller with three knobs on top. they aree for
throttle, prop pitch and fuel mixture. They are available
on eBay for around $100.00 each module
