Hello. Been for couple years now thinking of picking up a joystick just for occasional maybe once or twice a week play of Flight Sim and for long time always have seen this being recommended as the one to pick for the price tag. Was just about to buy it but noticed that its very aged and thought that I should maybe ask here first if that is really the best choice still? Is there maybe something since these years come out that is around the same price but better pick than this one?

edit: thanks all for the detailed replies!
