I use the saitek x-52 pro.
And its a ok stick, but use it with rudder peddals instead of the twist as it works better that way.
Thrustmaster Cougar is not a joystick to buy im sad to say.
Mine worked 4 hours then died.
You wont get any support for it and the only things they might send you if it dies is pots. this as they have no mainboards left so you arent able to buy or get a new one if your stick end up as mine...
350 us $ down the drain!!!!!!
:evil:

Oooooo love the switches!
Does it have pedals or is it the twisty kind?
But I just worked all the bugs out of the crappy Logitech G940. So its not that bad I guess.

No REAL pilot uses "twisty sticks".
You'll need a set of pedals. I highly recommend the CH-Pro USB pedals.
They are by far the nicest you can get for the money.
The only way to do better is spend a lot of cash or build your own.

Or you can buy the Saitek pedals. AFAIK they're not better nor worse but they are ~30 bucks cheaper.
I have pedals... For racing!
Xtreme 3D pro is a awesome stick! I dont know what I did with mine... I think it died... for some reason.
My X-52 has finaly buggered itself after 2-3 years of owning it.
I still use my LogiTech Xtreme 3D pro after about 3 years or more.
