I don't have one but I did use one and I found it amazing(if complicated). But then I saw it was about $100 which really is not worth it for a joystick.

Have been thinking about getting some kind of flight controller. My Cyborg stick is OK, but not that good for flying.

I think that BF2 is really best with an all in one joystick.
That x52 Is really unbeatable for flying in more standard flight sim games.
Bf2 dosent have enough flight controls to map to all the buttons you get
with the joystick and throttle combo.
But I had a similar joystick and throttle combo I used with a heli sim called longbow and it rocked so hard! I recomend it highly!
Only I warn you, it will be no time at all before you start dreaming about flight pedals.
