Analog sticksarejoysticks. Also there are proper Flightsticks for consoles, I have the awesome one that came with the CE of Ace Combat 6.While not only space combat,Elite: Dangerousshould revive the genre sometime next year.
I'll wish diarrhea upon Mr. Braben if it doesn't.
I'd love to see a Tie Fighter vs. X-Wing on current machines. Maybe even consoles but... naaaah. Needs a joystick.
