My sun and I use Saitek X36 and Saitek X45 joystick systems and these older joystick systems work great in Jets and Choppers. One small problem is that if you are in a Jet or Chopper, you must set the throttle in mid thrust position other you will have some trouble is controlimg you weapon. This is a small price to pay once you fly. We like these joystick systems so much that we may replace them with the Saitek X52 which is supposed to be perfect for Battlefield 3. I love flying in Battlefield 3 now, even I am using the old Saitek X36 joystick system. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I ended up buying the x52, which is awesome works great in several flying games i have except battlefield at the moment, if i try setting the controls in game it seems to not recognize the joystick input. Going to do some googling now though to find how other people got it to work.
