Wally,

I would recommend the CH Products Yoke w/ throttle,mixture, and prop
controls. If you want to spend the big bucks, get the Pro Pedals as well.
They are around $250 purchased at the same time or $130 each. I would check
out the www.pcaviator.com web site. I have purchased from them with
success, and they have competitive prices. It is hard to find the good
controls at retail. As an alternative, the Microsoft Force Feedback 2
joystick works well and it is around $100.

When I bought FS2004 I got a deal (?) which included a wingman joystick
for
about $12.
This also had a rebate of $12 which made it essentially free. I am
beginning to think that it is worth what I paid for it.

It doesn't react well, the throttle setting will not advance far enough on
the 172 to give full take off power, etc. I have tried to find the
calibration page to no avail. The help file doesn't even recognize the
word
calibrate.

It looks to me like an obsolete model. It has an adapter from a game port
connector to USB.

OK what should I get a stick or a wheel? I learned to fly with a stick,
but most of my time is with a wheel. I really just want to play with the
J
3, the 172, 182 etc. I might fool around a little with the heavier stuff,
but no big deal.

What should I buy, and which brands etc seem to work best? I am willing
to
spend $100 or so.
