Good luck!
Yes i know my buddie let me borrow his G2 lite and the controller.... for a few days but he took it back home... what i have been using now is a program called FMS and the controller im using is a playstation 2 controller with the 2 thumbsticks works like a regular plane controller... if you know anyone that needs a cheep G2 simulator i suggest they download FMS (ITS FREE)
then buy a Soyo Kinky-X series adpator for the playstation 2(or playstation 1 controller) so you can play pc gamws with a good controller... the converter is about $14 + shipping you can order the conveter from here.. the one they show is the kinky-y BUT i ordered one and they sent me the new kinky-X series that IS windows XP compatible

i dont believe they carry the older model anymore !!! yahoooo also what is really coll the driver for the converter is only like 400kb !!! it comes on a mini cd

pretty neat
