First Time Builder, Questions About Saitek Pro Flight
I am looking to build my first simple cockpit to take up the spare bedroom in my apartment. I am thinking about buying the Saitek Pro Flight instrument panel set up instead of the expensive, more realistic alternatives. What do you think of thier stuff? Is it at-all realistic, or just cheesy? I like to fly commercial jets. Thanks.

Hello space...buy only a Saitek yoke with a throttle quadrant , pedals ...you can use FSX to show FOV ( field of view ) in one lcd and fly instruments in a second lcd...you need only to have a graphiccs card with 2 or 3 outputs ...that Saitek instrument panels are very unreal...very boring to me !...greetings !

I would go for a differnet yoke if I had the money again, my saitek lasted less than 4 months before it started sqweaking so bad I took it apart and made some adjustments..... I've stopped the noise but movement is not smooth now as had to tighten some parts to stop the racket......
Hi...realize this has been a long time, but I'm heading down the path of building my own 777...
