I was wondering.. you use stick? yoke? game paddle?

Im trying to decide what to get. The only thing I love more than flight sims are driving/racing games (MCO goig offline.. whaa!).
For games like AH, I would rather use a stick than a wheel-type yoke. Problem is, this worsens my driving experience. I know most yokes can double as steering wheels, and rudder = brake & gas... My little brother simply got a dual analog controller, but AH automatically assigns the right stick to rudder and throttle (very annoying, IMO)

Anyone else into driving too? What do you you have?

As for now, I use my old-assed Thrustmaster Formula T2 wheel for driving, and my mouse for AH. And I am sick of using the mouse.

CH Jane's F-16 Combat Stick, CH modified Pro Throttle (has 48 buttons instead of 24) and CH Pro Pedals (all analog). Hooked up to a Rockfire analog game port to USB adaptor.

At home, I use this:

When I'm on the road and need something more portable, I pop this guy into my luggage:

When those guys don't do it for me, of course, I've always got 'old faithful':

HOTAS Cougar with Thrustmaster Elite pedals

is there a different way?

For Flying: CH USB stuff: Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, Pro Pedals.

For Driving: Logitech Wingman Formula Force (current version is called the Momo I think). I don't use the Logitech pedals. Instead I put the CH pedals into driving mode (lock the rudder axis) and map throttle and brake to them. They give me a lot more precise control than the Logitech pedals. I love the Logitech wheel though.

PS If you get CH stuff make sure you get USB not gameport models.
