A client of mine is looking for a good Flight Simulation Joystick for his son for christmas. I said I would look around for him. I now turn to you all to ask the flight sim enthusiasts here what is the best joy stick for use. I'd like a little background information on joysticks and their manufacturers too.
Thanks!

Re: Need a good flight sim joystick recommendation
Saitek makes really nice "Hands on Throttle and Stick" setups. The X65F is incredibly expensive, but the X52 is pretty reasonable for a christmas gift.
On the cheaper side, I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick and it's quite good. I actually use it more often than my Saitek. It has rudder control by twisting the stick, which sounds odd but works well. Rudder control is important, don't buy a stick without it.
