Pretty much all joysticks will work for any flight simulator. I have an extremely old joystick and it works just fine!

System specs
Para, is this a USB joystick? If you haven't already, try installing the most recent driver from Microsoft. If it happens to have a serial connector, it likely isn't supported for Windows XP.
