I've heard many suggestions for joysticks. I took a break from the game and was wondering what you experienced players think I should buy for joysticks I heard alot about Saiteks Evo's,X52,X45. But I'm trying to stay 50$ and under I did locate a joystick at my local walmart for around 30$ tell me what you think of it (Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2). I'm fairly new 2 the game and dont have alot of expeirence myself.

Looks like a decent stick to start out with. My boyfriend had a Thrustmast  After Burner II for over a year and was very happy with it, so id guess quality is OK.

In the long run you will probably want to have more buttons, but you can cross that bridge if you get there. For $30, i dont think youre doing much wrong.

If you want one for the longer run, try to get an X45 (rocker rudder) or X52 (twisty). Search on the internet - refurbished stuff can save you a lot of $$. Depending on how much it costs ya, a replacement warraty can be very useful as well. I myself - after 1 year playing - switched to a X45 this srping... did me a lot of good and im very happy so far.
