I know this isn't in the right forum and all but can anyone recommend a good joystick in the $50-$80 range? My dad wants to play some flight similuation games and without a joystick, I think it'd be kinda useless. I don't think a seperate throttle is necessary, but if it is, then I'll consider it. I know the Microsoft Precision Pro is currently on sale but I don't really know anything about joysticks since I mostly play games with a keyboard and mouse. Is the Microsoft Precision Pro any good for the average flight simmer? It's around $30 after rebate right now so I was just wondering. Any help is apreciated.

The MS Precision Pro is the best thing out there in my opinion. USB support, good price. Rudder control (twist), throttle, lots of buttons, programmable with the software, DIGITAL. Basically you can't go wrong with it. Only thing better would be thrustmaster, but by the time you got all the stuff you'd want, its would be 10X more expensive.
