Hi guys quick question can anyone tell me whats the best joystick to used on my md11 never fly with one before ?

I have a Thrustmaster T.16000M joystick that I am happy with.

Other brands to look are saitek and logitech.

 

For a yoke you can look for a Saitek or CH yoke.

 

You may also want to get a throttle quadrant.

Both CH and thrustmaster make them.

Pretty much a matter of personal preference.

 

I have the Saitek Pro Flight yoke - has a separate throttle quadrant which was one of the reasons I did not go with the CH yoke.  I also have the Saitek Pro Flight rudder pedals - I will admit that the Saitek Cessna and Combat pedals are configured more like RW pedals than the Pro version but they are $80 more than the Pro version.

 

There are any number of joysticks in the ~ $50 range.  I have the Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS that I have removed the centering spring from for helicopter flying.  I also have the Saitek X52 - very nice joystick but a bit pricey.

 

And - if you still have a few bucks lying around consider TrackIR.
