I am looking to get a USB joystick to use Flight Sim on my new computer that does not have a game port.

Does anyone have any suggestions which one, where to get it and what cost?

    To experience flight sims (MS I assume?) at their best get a force feedback joystick. The Logitech one is superb.

    You could do worse than speak to RC Simulations in Bristol. What they don't know about flight simulators and equipment isn't worth knowing.

    I would also recommend the Logitech Joystick. Gravis also make great joysticks but not sure if they do any USB ones.
