A quick check on amazon.com.... FSX Gold Edition software $15.49 (EASILY the best bargain in the WORLD on anything aviation-related), Saitek yoke/throttle quad $127.48, Saitek pedals $119, assuming you have a fairly modern computer and decent monitor, you're ready to sim with something approaching realism. Can you fly FSX with just a keyboard?...Yup, but why would you? (Disclaimer...no connection to any of these providers, but the products work for me in my situation)
