Can anyone recommend a joystick for BF2, I got it 2 days ago and just couldnt fly a Jet with my mouse, or an helicopter for that matter. I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Plug and Play Gamepad that I got with a pc years ago but everytime I try to get the game to let me use the d pad for turning it says it cant do it cus its been used elsewhere but I cant see where 
So I assume a joystick would be better 
So....gimme some suggestions please.
Thanks

best thing to do mate is buy one from PC world: try it and if it doesn't work, take it back.

use the cyborg evo myself, pretty good all rounder, and yes, it works well with BF2.

I did some scouting amongst BF2 players on my MSN list and they suggested I gave the Logitech Wingman Attack 2 joystick as thats what they use but its no longer for sale, there is a new version out now called Logitech Attack 3.
So I checked PCWorld as suggested above and they got it in for £19.99 so I did some more scouting as I know what PC World are like with prices so I try and avoid them.
Anyway my local computer store has some in stock for £16.25 including VAT! so I just saved my self some pennies. When bus fares and whatever are taken into consideration I have saved alot more than 3 quid or so.
The website for the joystick can be found here
