joysticks

I'm surprised no one bothered to test these devices with a set of rudder pedals. Much better to use those when flying, especially on old prop planes (I fly the various WWII flight sims). Handle twist is OK, but sometimes I hang on a little too tight and twist when I shouldn't. Pedals prevent that.

I use a Wingman Digital Extreme with a set of Thrustmaster pedals, run through the gameport, not USB. It ain't great, but it works for me. USB pedals would be better, but then I'd have to replace 'em. I also have the less expensive Saitek on a different machine and like it fine too. The twist is better on it, but rudder pedals are still better.
