Could anyone tell me which joystick/yoke is the best to use with MS flightsim? Seems like every one I buy is always too sensitive.
aloft- Nice landings! Just don't let the virtual FAA get a hold of the first picture. Otherwise your virtually screwed.

I bought the MS Sidewinder joystick and it works great with FS2002. It's a little pricey (~$40), but worth it. It's not too sensitive, but you won't overcontrol with it. The key in FS2002 is trim, trim, trim. Just like real life, eh?
I need to play around a bit with some screen shots. That looks like fun.

The aircraft is at http://www.projectopensky.com/ -- it doesn't come with the correct cockpit, but there are a couple decent ones at avsim.com, same place I got the SkyWest skin.
Anyone know where there is an IFR cadet for download? Along those lines, how far backward compatible are aircraft (eg - can you use FS 2000 aircraft with 2002)? Is it easy to swap out instruments (eg a HSI for the HI)? Sorry for all the questions..... if you know of a good info resource on the net, please post the link.

Wow those are some good graphics. I am still stuck with FS98. haha, saving up for flight training for my private. Maybe I will have to spair some money and buy FS2002, is it worth it? And maybe 40 more to buy a good joystick, I am using my keyboard because my past two joysticks were horrible.

Maybe I'm missing something....where are the aircraft?
I can only download skins from their download area.

When you get to the a/c section there should be a link that says image and then to the right of that there should be another one that says download...click download

I just read where 2003 is supposed to come out sometime soon. I'd save your money and buy that one. It's supposed to kick 2002's butt, and, the ATC quirks in 2002 are supposed to be fixed.

Aww, dude, there's no point if you dont have a joystick. Flying with keys is like flying only by adjusting the trim. Even a crappy joystick has to beat using the keys! Makes for some interesting landings I bet!

Oh...I see what I did!
The first one I tried to download was the Northwest CRJ, and I clicked on the "wing fix" instead of the aircraft above it.
Heh...I'm intelligent.
