us by scribbling this gem of wisdom:

It seems like all the higher end sticks lack twist on the stick? The TM
AfterBurner seems like the most flight-sim like that still has a twist and I
love the TM software, but I've read a lot of reviews that the AB doesn't
hold up.

The main reason I want a twist instead of rudders is for some of the space
sims I play which "fly" quite a bit differently then aerospace flight. I've
got an X-36 and a Suncom stick, both are solid as a rock but are lacking
when I use them in space sims.

What I'd love is an X-45 that had a twist grip. Does anyone make something
similar? Is there a better "flight sim" type stick (mass buttons,
super-configurable software, accurate, etc) then the AfterBurner that has a
twist?

Thanks!

You're probably not going to find any high level stick with a twist.
The only sticks with a twist axis for rudders are usually 'mass
market' introductory sticks.

Have you tried using a slider or rotary knob as your rudder (if
available?)
