Best joystick for $150

[makoReactor]

Hey people

I bought MS Sim 2004 and want a good joystick (with force feedback) for around 150 bucks. I have been looking on the net and couldn't make a decision. Any suggestions? Thanks!

P.S. throttle and peddle are good too.

why force feedback?

I'm really liking my Saitek X45. The new Saitek X-52 (? Dunno its brand new and I've only seen it in person once) is like sex. Been using the X45 for a year now, no major issues with it cept my hands are a bit too small for it. I'd like to try the X-52 before plunking down big bucks on it...

Yeah, its the X52

The only peddles I see anymore are the CH ones, and those are a hundred bucks...

Because with MSSim 2004, you can feel the weather and turblulance with the fource feedback. I have been reading a lot of reviews saying it is really worth the money.

joysticks suck for Flight Simulator. What you want is something like this http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductdesc.asp?description=26-169-105&depa=1

Can you move the Yoke up and down? I wanted to get that one but it seems it only moves left and right, but I am problably wrong.

it does not move up and down. You push in to descend and pull up to clime, just like the real thing in an airplane

Is the push in/out a hydraulic pump?

Its probably just on a spring return if anything.
