Greetings Wendy, I don't have any experience with Joysticks, but as Michael Waldie has recommended Logitech. I have heard good reports on Logitech's high-end Flight System G940 hands-on: <http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/04/logitechs-high-end-flight-system-g940-hands-on/>
What I wanted to warn you about is Time Machine & X-Plane 9. By default, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard & Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard & is set to automatically back up the entire hard drive using Time Machine. This includes a user’s X-Plane directory. Most users would prefer not to have this backed up, due to the fact that it demands a significant amount of space (for something already backed up to DVDs) and generally also comes with a performance hit. For this reason, it is recommended that users disable Time Machine while installing X-Plane, then re-enable it after telling it to exclude the X-Plane directory from its backup. This can be done using the following instructions: 1. Before installing X-Plane, choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu. 2. Click the Time Machine icon. 3. In the window that appears, turn Time Machine off. 4. Install X-Plane according to the previous instructions, noting where it was installed to. 5. With X-Plane installed, open the Time Machine preferences as before and click the Options button. 6. Click the + button to add a folder to the “Do not back up” list and select the X-Plane installation directory. 7. Click the Done button and turn Time Machine back on.
