From what I've heard, analog joysticks are really hard to find these days. I wish you the best of luck.

I'll second this recommendation. CH Flighsticks (what they used in previous years) are frequently sought after items. I'm thinking of cleaning up some of our team's ancient crusty ones (and I mean crusty!) and seeing if we can trade them to newer teams.

Ebay is still a decent resource for these, as well as some of the more rare gameport devices such as Flightstick Pros (with a full hat on them like the current sticks, but still ambidextrous), CH Throttles, Pedals, etc. We're probably going to use a CH Throttle and Flightstick Pro combo this year, although we also have a handmade throttle that's worked well in the past (made from a pressure cylinder and transducer, actually).
