I have MS Flight Simulator 2004. What is the best joystick to flight
the Cessna 152? Thanks.

Wow!! That is quite expensive but look like it is what I am looking
for.
Any clue where I can get a good deal?
Thanks.

If you want something that is more versatile and cheaper most people
go for stick and throttle from Saitek these days. X45 or X52.

The most realistic would be a yoke. CH products makes this USB model:

You would probably want to pair it with the CHS Pro Pedals USB.

Yeah. Unless you plan on flying 100% in small trainers or commerical
aircraft which usually use a yoke, a stick will do the same trick. I myself
invested in the CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, Pro Pedals and the Yoke.
Expensive rig, but an excellent quality setup so far. I am tempted to buy a
second set if and when I can afford it in the case these wear down. But by
the sounds of it, these things are pretty rugged.

Newegg carries CH gear at lower prices than buying from directly from CH.
