What is the best joystick choice?

well, you can always use the keyboard for rudder control if you want to go with a non-twisty stick and can't afford rudder pedals.

Make sure you hook up with a trainer once you're ready to hop online.  They'll get you squared away with the basics in no time.   :)

SANCHO!  I have a Cyborg 3D Digital.. it spikes the hell out of me.  I think this thing breaks to easily.. Sometimes i'm flying around minding my own business (or in a dogfight for that matter) and the thing spikes bad, pulls my rudder to hard right, and cuts my throttle!  I have no clue how that happened.. It just started doing that a week or so ago.  I was going to go out today and buy a new cheapo joystick just so I could have some smooth flying.  If your Cyborg is really smooth, p l e a s e  help me out  :)    Thanks much!

Bad rudder control is better than no rudder at all!   ;)  

Nothing beats pedals tho!  I love 'em!
