Heh... I splurged awhile back and dropped the $ for the Cougar HOTAS. I gotta say, it's by far the BEST joystick I've ever had in my entire existence. Solid cold metal, each unit weighs a few pounds easily, and the construction quality is amazing. The software that comes with it is a bit quirky, but insanely powerful. The only thing I'm missing are rudder pedals, but I've been trying to butter up the boss and see if she'll let me get some.
Here's the site for the gear: http://cougar.frugalsworld.com/ . These guys are nuts, some of them have mods done that cost just as much as the joysticks themselves.
If ya'll can afford it and/or are really serious about your military flight sims, I can't recommend anything else.
