Best joystick / pedal combo for flight sims?

[tart666]

anyone have an opinion about a good (most realistic) joystick? Vibration not required...

For the money, Saitek X45.

No pedals needed, rudder control via a rocker switch on the throttle component.

If you mean a flight yoke like for MS Flight Simulator, CH Products has a great yoke/rudder pedal combo. I think tenoc is talking about a flight stick, like for jet fighter games.

The X45 is a two component combo system, HOTAS (hands on stick and throttle), and sells for a fraction of the CH combo.

Scope it out here.

thx guys.

I am going to play some MS, but i guess i'd rather use Saitek for that now... CH charges $450 for a set of yoke/throttle/pedals, while offering little (if any) more functonality as far as I can tell.
