Nice joystick for not a lot of money
It's been years since I bought or used a joystick, and this one seemed too cheap to be any good. Turns out to be a very solid performer. No regrets!

Just plug it in and you're ready to go, no setting changes necessary. Works great in Flight Simulator X.

YESNOSaitek launches the Aviator, the first dual throttle joystick for modern flight simulation games. The Aviator is designed with everything you'd expect from a high performance joystick, including a rugged, military-style design, rapid response trigger, 8-way hat switch, plus illuminated rocket or missile fire button with safety cover.
And a first in joystick design, the Saitek Aviator features dual throttle levers. These enable independent control of multiple engines when flying a large bomber or modern passenger jet, or an engine/flaps combination for better control during take-off and landing. The dual throttles can also be locked together for simplicity when flying single-engined aircraft.
Additional controls include 3D twist for precise rudder control whether taxiing or in the air,front-mounted instrument panel which includes base-mounted toggle buttons with up and down switching functions, and mode selector to instantly change the Aviator's controls to suit flying scenario. Saitek's programming software means the Aviator offers up to 8 separate commands which can each be programmed separately.
