I'm a big fan of World War II combat simulators and I would like to try something sci-fi. I have a USB joystick that I would love to use to control a space fighter or a starship. I don't have much money to spend, so I'm looking for cheap or free. I am open to suggestions.

Well Decent FreeSpace was a good Space Flight sim per say and you can probably get it really cheap. X-Wing Alliance was a Star wars space flight battle sim. Pretty good too. Both are older games with decent graphics and can probably found cheap.

not related to what you want, but once check out "Universe Sandbox" when you have spare time :)

go for orbiter

Orbiter, and if you would like something of the same genre, Microsoft Flight. It's free.www.microsoft.com/games/flight/

You can give
Orbiter
a shot. It can utilize a joystick controller and it is free. There are additional downloads for higher detail textures and maps if you have a decent system & video card.

Maybe this list can helphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_flight_simulator_gamesCan't give you any recommendation as the only thing I have played in that regard was Wing Commander IV which is ~not really a simulation.
