I don't know which one to use. It seems to me that a joystick works the best since this is a flying game. |

Country: | Yeah, keyboard is a lot harder to do tilts and curving turns very well. It's not very smooth. But I still use it for many flying games. | |

Saitek X52 with rudder pedals if you've got some cash to waste - but it is really the best stick available - you have your hands in the right places, not all hunched up on one little stick!

Country:  | Joystick obviously. Try to find one with a twisting stick for rudder, or better, with rudder pedals.

| Joystick, definitely.
Saitek X52 as many others suggest if you can spend more than $100, or the new Saitek Aviator if your budget is around $40
