Hi.
I just would like to add:
You should use a flight stick like thrustmaster or any you like. I don’t use pedals. But could not be wrong. The advantage is, you can set the most important buttons like flaps, break, air break and so on.
For a comfortable feeling and seat position, I am using a couchmaster 2000. On the right hand side is the flight stick. In the centre the mouse, because you cannot set every possible plane button to the flight stick. So you have to use a mouse. On the left hand side is the thrust lever.
Regards
Dirk
