Things I should buy once I move from XBox to Pc

Hi Guys, if anything will go right tomorrow I will put the RAM in my brand new Pc and start again simming on Pc (like I used to do back in the 2007.

I own

VelocityOne™ Flight Universal Control System

VelocityOne™ Flight Stick

If you are reading this can you list your priorities for third part device to increase the fun and the sim experience?

Thanks

Moved to User Support Hub as the OP is requesting community assistance.

Honestly, this ia a personal preference. If you want to purchase another device, buy what you best think will complement the type of flying you plan on doing most.

Exciting times for you :slightly_smiling_face:

As BoboSkypark says above though it’s personal preference.

All I would say, though, is do your homework before you buy and if it is comfortably within your range maybe buy once rather than end up with something you don’t like and then buy again.

I’m ok with controllers, i would love to know if there are mods or other things like for example the device that let you move the head to move your sight in the cockpit

Depending on what hardware you have: VR

And rudder pedals if you don’t have them yet

I wonder if rudders I worthy. Do u use them only for taxi?

Coordinating turns while flying, and braking as well.
Rudder pedals have toe brakes, which adds a great deal as it allows you to apply the correct braking force, and have differential braking as well (which is very handy!).

You will like them, as airplanes have rudder pedals, using them in the sim adds a lot to the realism.

It heavily depends on your personal preferences and what you like to fly. Depending on that, I will make the following recommendations:

  1. One (or two, or three) of the Virpil button boxes, especially the Shalka. Universally usable and more buttons is always good. Expensive but worth it.

  2. Buy 2 cheap tablets and use Spacedesk and POPM (both free) to cast your MFD/PFDs into them.

  3. If you fly a lot of planes with the G1000, the Octavi IFH-1 is small and powerful. Eliminates a lot of mouseclicky.

  1. I own a couple of IPAD, will they work with these 2 software?

  2. I love it, does it work only with G1000?

All aircraft have foot pedals for yaw correction. Twisting a grip for anti yaw just doesn’t work for me. Plus sitting in the cockpit (old office chair) and having a place to put your feet adds another dimension to the experience.

Now you have some research to do.
There are several brands and price ranges.
U-tube has many reviews ( opinions) on just about everything available.
Happy hunting and happy flying.

I never owned an apple product so I cant say. But since both SpaceDesk and POPM are free, I would suggest to just try it. I am pretty sure that it will work though.

The Octavi… out of the box, with the Octavi software, I THINK it only works with the G1000. However, if you use it with SPAD, it becomes just another input device so you could program it for pretty much everything - that would however necessitate buying SPAD and spending a bit of time learning it… wich, come to think of it, you may have to do anyway since I dont think that the Octavi works with 2024 yet.

I use Spacedesk and POPM on two old iPads. There is a minimum OS version you need, but it’s a pretty old one.

Definitely rudder first.

Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is definitely worth it. The new sim UI controls for it are a huge regression from the FS2020 version, but you can still get it to work great with an XML file edit. Search the forums for ‘Tobii XML’ for the method if you decide to go for it. Just know that you will need to re-edit the XML whenever there is a new sim patch applied. So keep a copy for reference.

Also, in my system the tobii.xml file is in two different places, and I needed to edit both files.

I recommend a program called ‘Agent Ransack.’ It’s a really good file search tool - much better than Windows Search.
