Analog Stick: Suggestions?

[HeadRusch]

trying to play afterburner last night was a nightmare, I imagine Star Wars would be the same.....I need a nice USB analog flight stick to at least pull out and stick on the control panel when I wann aplay these games, any recommendations, or will any old analog PC stick do the job...

Any will do the job, but I'm partial to the Microsoft Sidewinder Forcefeedback 2.  Unfortunately the force effects of Afterburner are not emulated by Mame, but it's a spectacular stick for all the other Windows based flight games.  I picked up two of them on clearance at Wal-mart for $40 a piece about a year and a half ago.  Two months later they had the non-force version for $60.  Go figure.

Any old will work, but remember the throttle in after burner is analog, too.  So: a 2 axis + throttle set; or any two, 2 axis, analog sticks; or a 3 axis stick, to get all the play.  Trackball + throttle is okay, too.  You may have to remap the throttle in mame.
