This is my flight simulator setup for my PC.
Filmed with my new videocamera: Samsung HMX-H100. (720/50p)
Edited with: Sony Vegas studio 9

The saitek pro flight yoke system is a combination of the flight yoke and the throttle quadrant. Its not from ultra high quality but it is the best one you can get at the moment. I also bought the rudder pedals. These are pretty expensive but in my opinion you just need them. I had bought the Saitek X52 flight system a long time before the saitek pro flight yoke and pedals but i can stil use it for the throttle and extra buttons. I still use the joystick for helicopters, sportplanes and fighterjets. The Saitek X52 is a really good product. its high quality and has a lot of functions. With the products you will get a software CD. I didn't test this software because people were saying it was not that good and the systems works without it. I haven't got any problem with the systems so far.

After buying my G19 keyboard i could still use my Dell keyboard. When sitting behind the yoke its hard to reach the G19 on the table. So, to give a real cockpit feeling i dicided to drill two holes in the back of my Dell keyboard and hung it above my head. Now i can easily remove and attach the keyboard. I have to say, if you have the ability to do this. try it, it is worth it.

Trackir 5 is the fifth version of trackir. Its a head tracking device. it can be used for flight simulators, racegames and some first person shooters. if you want to see what it does ingame, watch my flight simulator setup demonstration video.
