Closest to the real thing that is barely in my price range :^P
and the HOTAS (both very heavy):
All that is missing is the motion/G-Force :^P
I agree completely.
I typically let MSFS 2024 simulate the actual weather outside. We had a sort of crappy winter and early Spring. In the last few months, I typically ended up flying at night with low visibility through heavy rain and sometimes wind and using my instruments and navigation equipment to keep the planes straight and level and on course to which ever airport I was flying to.
Of course, sometimes it is nice to fly in more pleasant conditions in other parts of the world and look over some of the amazing sights.
I do enjoy using my VR headset for a more intense experience. I usually just use a fairly deluxe Flight Simulator Joystick and rudder pedals. I have a yoke, but it is old and pretty poor quality.
BTW, the Warthog is worth it. Had it for about 6 years and it is still fully functional.
The flight-stick is a no contact.. it uses a strong magnet inside the base so that it doesn’t wear at all, whereas a typical flight-stick starts going back after a couple of years.
Yokes are better, but hard to find an affordable one that isn’t junk (Chinese).
**bad** (not back)
