Many thanks for your comments. I feel better informed now. I think I will go for the WH largely for reasons of cost and simplicity and see how I get on.

RE: Best joystick for BMS?
@Atlas My max budget would be in the region of $800. I guess it would be good if I bought a setup which could be upgraded if I really get into this and have some money available.

@greatcouloir Thanks. I could see F-18 compatibility on the site but not F-16.

RE: Best joystick for BMS?
Thanks for your comments. Like a lot of people, I don’t have unlimited resources but I’m ok with the cost of a Warthog or a bit on top of that if it is going to buy me something substantially better than the Warthog. I have been looking at a Thrustmaster F-16 stick with a Virpil base but the base I can see in the EU store (I’m in the UK) doesn’t seem to be compatible. I might be able to stretch to a FSSB (R3?) but what else is needed? What about throttles? I apologize for my ignorance but I am new to this and feeling my way.

Best joystick for BMS?
I have the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X but read it’s not ideal for BMS. I am thinking about buying the Warthog as most reviews consider it the best. Obviously it’s not cheap so I am wondering if there are any downsides to it before I splash the cash. I know there is no Z-rotation. Does it have to be screwed to your desk? Are there other sticks I should consider? Thanks in advance.
