Look at the Virpil T-50 CM3 throttle.  Got one last year to replace my 20+ year old Pro Throttle.  I also just ordered the new Virpil rudder pedals to replace my VKB T-Rudders Mk IV.

Wow.  Probably out of my price range, but nice.

You can adjust the springs so it doesn't return to center and will act like a normal throttle.

Also, virpil throttle is very expensive, but very good.

I think the vkb gladiator is the best middle range joystick.

You can really see the quality difference over something like logitech, but the price increase is not too much.

Best value joystick!

Can anyone comment as to how the z-axis or twist mechanism feels and functions on the VKB gladiator? It's usually the first casualty on cheaper sticks.
