Hi there,I'm in the market of finally buying a joystick to satisfy my FS9 airbus flying experience. I currently have a ch yoke and was wondering if:1) what is recommended for a good joystick (I don't need a separate throttle as I have a full goflight setup)2) is there an easy way of changing the controllers (yoke/joystick) without having to unplug either one of themI don't want to spend a fortune and want to stay with "regular" brands as my budget is still tight. I'm also not sure if I should go with force feedback or not, so I'm open to any recommendations.Thanks in advance,Pete

I can comment on #2 only. The best for this is use FSUIPC (registered) for assigning functions and the axis assignments. No need to disconnect controllers if all assignments are made "Aircraft Specific" and no duplicate assignments exist in FS or other programming.Jim D.

1) I was using a CH Eclipse yoke but it's too big for my desk and it interfered with my daily usage of the computer. So I started looking for a joystick. I settled on the Thrustmaster T.16000m and I'm really happy with it. It has hall sensors for its X & Y axis and it's very precise. I don't have rudder pedals so I'm using the twist stick function on the 16000m. For throttles I'm using the CH Throttle Quadrant for both civil and military planes. Hope this helps.Nick
