:smilewink: Thanks. After watching some of the YouTube demos, I have to agree. It is a game changer for the home enthusiast. I decided on the TrackIR-5 and it is on order. I saw where you could build your own with some parts but do not wish to get into that at the moment. Can't wait to get it. Should be fun! (I'll keep extra underwear handy just in case. :))

Thanks for the replies. These are great suggestions. Heck, I wasn't even aware of the TrackIR system you mentioned. This is exciting stuff to me. Amazon indicates an Oct-1 release of the new Thrustmaster so I will probably wait for that. Seems like a real nice unit especially for the price. Thanks again.

I am new to flight sims, and was considering getting into it. I did see that DCS is considered one of the best simulators. What I would like to know is what controller systems are considered good for this product. Searching the web I find Saitek products are mentioned frequently. (For example, the Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino HOTAS.) Any other good products/brands? Please consider this from a newbie approach. I don't wish to spend a couple grand at this point for a full-fledge pilot cabin simulator. Maybe something more around the $100-$300 range (if possible). Thanks.
