ok , i got it 2002 pro , now to fly i need a new joystick. i want to get one today. my old sidewinder wont work with the new dell 8200 2.53 . so whaty can i get and not breal the bank i am lookling at a saitek unit but dont want any conflicts . any advice would be appreciated . i am sure there are some with vitual cockpits but i just want a simple joystick. i will also say that it looks to be a challenging program, cetainly not EF200 , or Hind, ot even combat flight sim . let me know which stick would be good thanks Mike

Hi Mike,I personally use the Saitek Cyborg 3d Gold USB for flying in FS2k2, FlyII, Janes USAF, CFS2 & Enemy Engaged-Commanche vs Hokum. It works brilliantly under WindowsXP and have not had any conflict to date.Also use a CH Products FlightYoke USB at the same time, so the stick behaves well on the bus.I also know that quite a number of our members in the flight club here also use the Saitek and have not complained of problems.Hope this helps.[table][tr][td]http://www.avsim.com/other/usaribbon.gif[/td][td]Todd IngallsMember of [link:members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=5E79C613-0A60-4A3B-BDC1-F9EE49F2D4FE]Join the AVSIM Team Fight Against Cancer!][/td][/tr][/table.----BEGIN FS CODE BLOCK----G:EDDM(DE) a R- FS+(--) F++ P U++ X C+ H+>++ O+ V-- A+(++) SP?>+++-----END FS CODE BLOCK-----
