Default Microsoft flight simulator 2004 joystick?

I just got my microsoft flight simulator 2004 software and am loving it. I am still using the keyboard.... Could anyone suggest the best brand of joystick ? Also is there a wheel, rudder pedal combo for flying as in car racing? Thanks...

Why dont you check out bestbuy for a joystick? I hope you know that the G3 is not the same as the Flight Simulator? The G3 teaches you R/C airplanes and Flight simulator has nothing to do with R/C airplanes, its more like a airplane Game with pretty realistic airplane STUFF lol.

Try the Saitek X52 or i think it was 58, along with the CH pro pedals at amazon.

Cheers

Microsoft Sidewinder Pro or Logitech Extreme 3D Pro...
Both have a twisting stick for rudder and a throttle wheel.

I have both and slightly prefer the lighter feel of the logitech stick for MS Flight Sim 2k pro. (it is much cheaper also :-) )

the absolute best product for MS (or any other) flight sim is; CH Products. I have MS flight sim (2002) and I've have a yoke and rudder/toe brakes.
