Microsoft Flight Simulator returned to the skies

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.

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?
