USB is the only way to go. Analog is outdated. Once you switch to USB you will never go back.
Now the problems.
There's none with Aces High as they have programmed the sim to easily accept all sorts of combinations of throttles, sticks, pedals, in USB or analog mixes. Other older games will have a problem with both USB sticks and USB Pedals. I understand that stickworks has a file available to correct this, but I only fly Aces High (why would I fly anything else???)
The other problem is that currently there is only one company offering a good completed set of USB stick and throttle and that's Saitek. The x36 combo is a throttle and a stand alone stick in USB. As you can tell by my other posts, this is an excellent product with plenty of buttons.
If you want to CH products you have a USB stick that just wont give you enough buttons/hats etc., so you have to wait until they release their good USB stick. Their pedals are great (I have a set), and I understand they have finally released their USB throttle.
