The joystick I use, like s lot of others, has a twist axis. It’s not ideal compared to pedals, but you get used to it.

If you use a game pad, can’t you use one of the two analog sticks as rudder? That’s what I do. I even patched MSFS4 (the one from 1989!) for it for fun.

Good question! I don't think I even tried using the other stick for rudder because it would make it difficult to use its up/down axis for anything else -- but that could well be worth the trade-off!
