I have the Microsoft FF2 - not bad. The problem I have is that it is designed for right handed people. Shouldn't be a problem - I'm right handed. But it means that you have to control the plane with your right hand, the throttle with your left (i.e the opposite to what you would do in most planes in real life), and when you need to use the mouse you have to change hands. The stick is hard to control with your left hand because of its shape. It might be better to get a yoke - but it's quite a lot of money that could be spent on flying the real thing!
