For best results you should use a more advanced joystick, such as Microsoft Sidewinder, (the stick twist is an excellent feature and very useful in I-War), CH Products, Thrustmaster, and Saitek. We tend to use the Sidewinder here for testing, but at home I use a CH Products Flightstick pro, Pro Throttle and Rudder Pedals, as it has more buttons and a separate throttle.
