Joysticks specifically designed for the XBOX 360 console do exist, and can be purchased from almost any XBOX-specific gaming accessory dealer. Most XBOX 360 joysticks are usually in the "arcade" style of layout. That is, they have around six round, glossy face buttons and an old fashion arcade-style joystick.
Some specific models of 360 joysticks are the Dead or Alive 4 branded joystick and the XBOX 360 Live joystick. These are both arcade style joysticks; and concerning the layout of these joysticks, they would leave much to be desired in driving or flying type games (Not for use in Flight Simulator X).
If your looking into playing driving games on your 360, there are a few steering wheel joysticks available which would put you right in the middle of the action of your favorite game. But lastly, if your looking at intense "flying-centered" games, (like Microsoft's Flight Simulator X) you should look into getting the game for the PC and using a USB or PS2 computer joystick because the experience will just not be the same without the correct airplane pilot-type controller.

Try the Saitek Aviator for Xbox 360
I have not used it yet but it looks really nice.

I've used it but what are all the buttons on the back used for? There's no wayto program them inside the XBox 360 that I can see and in between missions, I get a small icon in the lower left of my TV screen showing some control button to push if I want to continue the missions. Anyone got any clue what button on the AV8R to push? Thank you.
