anything made by saitek is pretty good
although my Microsoft Sidewinder which I've had since Windows 95 just keeps going and going - and I play Falcon 4.0 constantly
it doesn't have a rudder twist grip or a hat switch but damn if it isn't indestructable <3

Go with Saitek, if you look around you can find the X52 Throttle and stick setup for around $50USD.

Side note:
I have a microsoft sidewinder 2 with Force Feedback, just don't have any drivers for it, if anyone knows of any....I would be greatly appreciative!!!

This might work for you:
Microsoft SideWinder Force FeedBack 2 driver - Microsoft Input Device Drivers - msswff2.zip

or this:
Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 5.1.2600.0 software download - Windows - VersionTracker

No real clue, those were just the first two items on my google search.

Yea you got a logitech Extreme 3d pro? I do and it broke on me as well. Started to drift and doing random stuff. I'm looking for a good joystick as well lol.

There is only one joystick that I can recommend, TAC-2

That's the best joystick man has ever made.
