Default New to simulators - need advice!

What are you looking for? commercial jet flying? bush turbo flying, or
honining your Cessna skills? Yes go with FS2004 Century of Flight (FS9)
saitex make some good joysticks. I have the Cyborg 3D. Its good as it twists
swell which is sued for rudder, either get one like that or pedals and yoke
if your really serious. Do the lessons in FS. They can be a bit irritating,
but very useful I thought. Join the NG alt.games.Microsoft.flight-sim its
very good

New student pilot - I want to use a computer flight simulator -
Microsoft? What about a game controller - joystick recommendations?
Please help - don't want to second guess any purchases.
All answers very much appreciated!

I second all that, now tell us what are the specs of your computer, because
you need a good chip and a fast video card to get the best out of FS2004.
Also you really do need a joystick or if you prefer, yoke and pedals.
