Yeah this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-Hotas-Warthog-Joystick-Throttle/dp/B00371R8P4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1314314782&sr=1-1
I have one of these and I can't fault it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-942-000005-Extreme-Pro-Joystick/dp/B002BYONB0/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1314314883&sr=1-1
There may be better sticks, but it works for me.
BTW you could try LOCK ON and it's addons - it is the forerunner of DCS http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lock-Air-Combat-Simulation-PC/dp/B000VOOULU/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1314314985&sr=1-3

any real good computers that will be good for flight sims thanks again
To be honest I'm no expert, again, you'd be better served asking on the official EAGLE/DCS forums (In the Hardware section) for other users experiences. http://forums.eagle.ru/index.php
That said, go for at least 4gb of RAM and get as fast a CPU and GPU as you can afford. Also read up on Overclocking, it might save you some cash. Also building your own computer from components will be cheaper.

Must pick up this game if I can drag myself away from racing sims Black Shark KA-50 was great but the learning curve was pretty steep. I do miss the printed game manuals that used to come as part of the game packaging - Falcon 4.0 springs to mind! 0

This is pretty good, watch in HD in fullscreen if you can.

For those interested, the latest Info for DCS.
Moving to Core-Based System
Later in 2012, The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics will transition the DCS series to a core-based system. What do we mean by a core-based system? This means that the main DCS engine that includes the GUI interface will serve as the core that content modules plug into it. Such content could include vehicles, maps, campaigns, etc. This will allow purchased DCS content to be accessed through a single DCS core hub.
Not only will this allow previous and future DCS aircraft to be fully integrated, but it will also allow 3rd party content to be easily integrated into the DCS series.
DCS: P-51D Mustang Status
The Mustang is coming along nicely and is currently flying around the DCS world. Most of the focus is now on tuning the flight dynamics with input from a real Mustang operator. Other work continues on the P-51D audio, a very detailed engine model, missions, and the damage model. We will also include several authentic skins with the release product.
Open Beta Testing for Patches Coming
To better promote community involvement and have a much larger testing base, future DCS product patches will be available in beta version prior to final release. We hope this move will allow all customer voices to be heard prior to releasing a new patch and flush out any missed problems during internal testing. The next two patches will be for A-10C and Black Shark 2.
"DCS: P-51D Mustang" Pre-Purchase
As we did with "DCS: A-10C Warthog", we will be offering P-51D as a pre-purchase. As a pre-purchase, customers will have access to beta versions of the product.
Paid For User Content Now Available from DCS Web Site
Now in the User Files section on the DCS page, you have the option to filter between All, Free, and Paid For files. The Paid For content allows a distribution channel for third party developers to sell their work.
http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/?license=paid&set_filter=Y
Combined Arms and Flaming Cliffs 3 Update
Work also moved forward on these two products and we have some very interesting and fun new features in work for both products. More on those later.
The next DCS Jet
This DCS jet aircraft is still in its early stages and a lot can still change, even the aircraft itself. As such, we will not be announcing what aircraft this is until it is much further along.

Yeah its seriously deep. I bought it a few weeks ago and havnt had the inclination to work through all the tutorials yet. Its massivly detailed to say the least but I imagine very rewarding when you become proficient. I've found my projector I normally use for gaming isnt up to scratch running at 1024x768, the detail on all the controls just isnt there
I'm looking foward to getting more into it when winter kicks in properly.0 -

Pre-purchase "DCS: P-51D Mustang" at:
http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=1322&scr=shop&lang=en
The Mustang was among the best and most well-known fighters used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Possessing excellent range and maneuverability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and also as a ground attack fighter-bomber with bombs, rockets, and machine guns. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII and proved to be what many consider the most successful fighter in history.
The DCS: P-51D Mustang offers both highly-detailed simulation and easy-to-play "game" mode options for both hardcore and casual gamers. When in simulation mode, this is the most authentic simulation of the P-51D Mustang that has ever been done for the PC. Enjoy both the thrill of flying this warbird and operating its various weapons against a variety of ground and airborne targets.
An interactive training system puts you in the cockpit with an instructor as he walks you step-by-step of learning to fly the Mustang.
A powerful yet easy-to-use mission editor allows you to create your own missions and campaigns. A one-click Mission Generator also allows you to instantly create battles as small or large as you wish.
Fly online with built-in server browser that supports up to 32 players in both head-to-head and cooperative gameplay. Fly online with other DCS aircraft like the Black Shark and the A-10C Warthog.
Features of the DCS: P-51D Mustang:
• Highly detailed six-degrees-of-freedom cockpit. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse.
• Unmatched flight physics and that allow you to truly feel what it's like to fly this legend.

Forgot to post this too...
Looks like some Professional 3rd party aircraft are on the way for the new DCS:-World core.
http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=87621I'm happy to announce my first independent 3rd party module - "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed". This new module development is based on the new 3rd party License agreement/support that was previously announced by TFC/Eagle Dynamics. I plan to release MiG-21Bis later in 2012.
The MiG-21Bis is considered a third-generation, supersonic, jet fighter. It's avionics equipment ensures day and night operations in fair and poor weather conditions. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The MiG-21 broke a number of aviation records and it is still the most produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history.
"DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" includes both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground capabilities that includes various conventional weapons like missiles, rockets, bombs, and a built in 23mm cannon. "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed" will also use less widely known weapons such as some advanced air-to-surface guided missiles, retarded and general purpose bombs, and some special devices.
Features of the "DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed":
• Highly detailed six-degrees-of-freedom cockpit with dynamic shadows. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse like previous DCS products.
• Accurate airframe and realistic 3D cockpit model.
• Detailed modeling of the MiG-21Bis instruments, navigation, electrical, radar, engine, fuel, and weapon systems.
• Russian and English cockpit texts and hints
• Improved and more realistic airplane behaviors that are based on real MiG-21Bis pilot tests and instruction.
• More than a twenty high detailed aircraft skin with unique stencil texts.
• More than a dozen new deliverable weapon.
"DCS: MiG-21Bis Fishbed” is developed by Laszlo 'beczl' Becz in association with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics. Further information will be provided as development progresses. I will be providing Work In Progress (WIP) screenshots, videos, and other product information.
