Unhappy

I was playing Crimson Skies earlier this evening and the rudder control on my Thrustmaster Reflex 3D went dead. So, I'm done with Thrustmaster. Anyone recommend some good full featured (not neccesarility FF) joysticks? They must have the MS twist-handle for rudder control-I've grown quite fond of that feature...

thanks in advance

I like the Logitech WingMan Strike Force 3D. It's a good FF joystick for less than $100. It has a nice feel and good FF effects.

Cool

I have to go with Vermont Boy. I would never buy mouse, joystick, etc. other than Logitec or Microsoft. They make the best peripherals hands down. But I also have the Logitec and its great. I tend to favor Logitec over MC becase, well I think you know why.

for a real good joystick at a good price, you cant go wrong with any Saitek product. I have the USB gold joy stick and it is a "twist" joy stick and has a throtle. its a good deal under 30 bucks.
