    Stock vs mod joystick

    Dear all,
    I am new here (maybe a month or two), and enjoying every second of it.
    Lots of fun, great pilots, and most of all, great community.
    I am still a newbie, trying hard to improve my flying skills.
    I am a real time pilot, and this sim is impressive by its realism.
    What I miss most in terms of realism is of course the physical sensations of flight (g-forces, plane vibrations, etc.). Normal, and I guess I'll have to live with it. I'm sure I'll survive all right.
    Another thing that I find difficult to cope with, is the "wrist" joystick.
    I read several posts about joystick mods, whereby people have lengthened the joystick shaft, and thus increased the realism (and perhaps precision) of sim flying.
    I have a Thrustmaster T16000M which I find is great. However, I find that "flying by the wrist" to be much less realistic than the feel of a real stick.
    I could go ahead an try to DIY my own mod, but before doing this I wanted to get a feel of what you guys (and gals) think of it, how many people fly with a stock joystick or a modified one (extended shaft length).
    I am interested in your feedback.
    Is it worth going through the mod adventure or shall I stick to stock T16000M and hope for the best?
