Even throttle control may not be required, since there isn't any combat/dogfighting in this game where you need quick changes in throttle.

Try attempting a proper landing approach without a throttle.

Auto throttle all the way!

Better idea: CAT IIIA Autoland, don't even need an analog input.

For real though, the landing is where you need the most precise control over both your control surfaces and throttle for a good landing.

But then why even play a flight sim?

And yes, playing FSX with Xbox controller, landing is where I wish I have throttle or sometimes even rudder controller (since by default the directional control controls nose gear, ailerons, and rudders at the same time)

Cheater:)

Power-off 180s precision for every landing, then?

Yeah, that is price of a single game. Sounds reasonable.

If you want to get a bit fancier the next step up would be something like a Logitech X56, which will give you twin throttles, several other slider/knob axes (prop/mixture controls, etc), and a lot more buttons of the stick. That's around $250.

From there you can get to pretty crazy high end stuff, some of which use real airplane hardware.

Thanks, will look into this. I imagine these controls should come handy in some other games as well.

The first thing I will need to do is build a PC after a long time.

I’m Using my MacBook Pro, an eGPU and bootcamp.

Wife nay-nayed a new machine, so this happened.

My personal macbook isn't that powerful.I am not sure about bootcamp on the work machine.

If I may ask, which eGPU are you using and are you satisfied with it?
