    Seriously .. It been a while since there been any good flight combat sims for the pc , yet there always been flight controllers being made every year with so many buttons and throttle control. Sure flight simulator X is pretty nice , but some players like me just want a nice good old dogfight in the sky with modern fighter planes not those old World War models ( too many games repeating history to give a meltdown ).
    :(

    They went the way of the joystick. My good old Sidewinder is under my 'other' desk.
