If you want to seriously settle down and fly aces high - Thrustmaster warthog with CH pro Pedals.

I got mine from BeachCamera, paid $350 for the Thrustmaster stick (comes with throttle and joystick separate) and CH pro Pedals off their website for something like $75 new.

I will NEVER go back to X45/Logitech or whatever crap I had over the years, this compares to nothing.

Had the x45 on my first five years of AH then they die on me.  Now i have the x54 Pro, but as soon they die on me i will get the x65.

Unless you're in dire need of a new stick immediately, keep an eye on ebay. I have 3 CH CombatSticks, one I bought new, and 2 I picked up used from ebay just in case I need a spare. Both used ones are in near perfect condition and I paid $29 for one, $33 for the other if I remember correctly.
