hi. In terms of sticks, yes, most sticks will work for most things. It's just that aircraft simulators require particular functions that aren't on standard sticks. I payed about 90 bucks for mine. So you don't have to go super expensive. And it has vibration in it. Rather cool feeling the stick jolt every time you get shot. LOL. Look for a stick that has a throttle lever, or throttle switch. The lever type is what I have, and it's very cool. Lets you have quite fine control over the engines. I could not tell you to get one type or another, as there are so many types. I'd guess that most you will see, are probably logitech, or some other major gaming device maker. But if you go in to almost any electronics shops, or gaming shops, and ask to see Flight sticks, they will know what you are talking about. Ask to get a feel of them, and see how it feels in your hand. That's rather important, especially if you're going to be using it for long periods. Also, like i said, look for something that has the ability for the stick to not only tilt, but twist as well. As the twisting action controls your rudder. Hope this helps you look for a good one. Most flight sticks should work, it's just a matter of what feels good for you, and of course, the cost. But most average sticks shouldn't be much more then a hundred. Dallas
