You got the pedals and trim wheels and everything?

No, although it will accept input from all of the above, I never got them, because, as I said, it is only a game to me. (IOW, I know I'll never get a chance to fly an actual A-10.)

With the SAS (Stability Augmentation System) engaged, I can fly it quite well with a good joystick and occasional keyboard input -- once I get it trim-neutral. I have even flown a few successful missions using only my laptop's trackpad, but, to be truthful, most of those wind up "violating the air-ground interface" in the heat of combat maneuvering... '-}

However, I have found that mounting the (properly trimmed and calibrated) joystick on a solid, immovable base is a big help.

I nearly invested in a set of pedals, but realized at the last minute that there would be no room for the dog. :)
