Games to use a joystick with?

Alright so I bought this logitech joystick for use with Microsoft Flight Sim and it is working great but this stick has so many buttons, I just want to shoot stuff... what are some good games to use with my new joystick?

Thanks

I assume you mean PC flight type games? I liked Crimson Skies, Secret Weapons Over Normandy, Freelancer (space). If you don't care that the games might be older, the Descent series was fun, and there is always Wing Commander and the X-Wing/Tie Fighter games.

Definitely Tie Fighter, I would say this game is unplayable without a decent joystick. I don't really know what modern games there are though. Most game makers have to assume that players on average don't own joysticks these days. I think the use of mouse control for most games has meant it's no longer essential to have your own joystick.

I tried that Freelancer game and enjoyed it, sadly there is no joystick support.
