Anyone here use any of the range of controllers or instruments with FSX??
They do look good and even just the yoke and pedals must be better than my MS joystick for realism.
 
I was eyeing up the saitek yoke but its rather expensive and I'd expect force feedback at that price.

The pedals they make are very popular with the flight sim crowd so I would just get those and a inexpensive joystick such as a saitek cyborg to add to your experience.

You can then think about adding Track IR to your setup and perhaps some more monitors to get that "command centre" vibe going.
 
OK thanks for that. My joystick is the Force Feedback 2 but i don't like the fact that it does not centre itself making trimming of the aircraft very tricky.

A lack of force feedback does not mean it doesn't have centering springs, it does and for the money, it's pretty good. There is very little if anything else available for similar.
 
Hi,

I got the X52-pro stick and throttle and it feels really good.
Go for the saitek panels as they really do add a feeling of realism, I have the switch panel and multi panel and they work great, very easy to set up and use.
A radio panel should be on your list too.
