I guess just because I used to use a joystick on all of my old flying games (microsoft sidewinder 3d pro was my favorite) i will definitely be using a joystick to fly with in ps2. If I had the money I had read there was this really awessome joystick based off of the stick found in the f-16.
This thing is 200 bucks and one of the most precise flying sticks on the market.
