I was about to recommend titles like Falcon 4.0, IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946, Independence War 2, and the like...until I read what joystick you have. IIRC, that ST290 doesn't even have things like a twist rudder and HAT switch, severely limiting its utility in any joystick-based games/sims. You might want to pick up a used Saitek X-45 on eBay for cheap, if not a X-52. Or, if you're dripping with cash, why not go for a Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar or CH Products Fighterstick/Pro Throttle/Pro Pedals setup? The titles that I mentioned above(especially Falcon 4.0)will need the extra buttons and switches for sure.

Basically any racing/sports games. I'm also playing Overlord with my 360 gamepad. If I can I use the gamepad cuz the whole force feedback thing makes the game more fun.

Il-2 is probably the best WWII Flight Sim. I would go to the length to say the best flight sim ever.
