25350	2001-11-23 08:33:00	I am keen to try out my new MS Flight Sim but I don't want to colour the experience by trying to fly with a simple joystick and no rudder pedals. Does anybody know sites where I can buy a control column and rudder pedals, preferably as two units so that I can choose to use a joystick when flying older planes like spitfires etc Thanx Michael	Guest (0)

I like the idea of the joystick for jet fighters though, and I know that the latst airliners use fly by wire with joystick controls just like a video game! Michael	Guest (0)

The yoke has levers for throttle,prop and mixture plus 20 button functions - you rarely need to touch the keyboard. The pedals have toe brakes. This lot does not come cheap (over $800 by the time you pay GST here) but is well worth it. It just does`nt feel right flying a Lancaster or a Cessna with a joystick. If you are in Auckland you can come and try mine.	Guest (0)
