After watching it fly, I�m thinking of buying I-war. But I know that it�s a lot better with a joystick. My question is: Is it better because of all those aditional buttons there are on pro joysticks?I don�t play flightsims, so i dont want to waste money on a very advanced joystick, because i would only use it on the few spacesims there are and i enjoy. Will a supermarket no-band joystick do with I-war? Eduardo

It will work, but you'll do much better with a joystick/throttle combination. -Krud

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.
