Wing Commander series, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Falcon 3.0, X-Wing series, Descent 1 & 2. Thrustmaster flight stick and throttle. Good times, good times.
I never really mastered flying the F-16 in Falcon 3.0, but I at least got to the point where I could take off and land OK. The mission planner for custom missions was very sophisticated too.
For Descent, I had also tried out the Logitech Cyberman 2 controller:

In theory, it is ideal for flying your spacecraft in Descent, allowing you to move or turn in any direction in a a sort of intuitive fashion. However, it wasn't that satisfying in practice.
- ansible 4y agoI also had at one point a steering controller that resembled a RC car controller. That worked a lot better for me than racing wheels that were much more common. Pairing that with the original ReVolt RC racing car game (don't buy the ripoff version that was just released to Steam!) and you're talking many hours of fun.
