I was going to get yoke and throttles+pedals, but got no where to store them. Just got a Joy stick. The likes of Avsim Flightsim and simviation freeware sites, you can get any a/c or scenery you want to fly or fly too! At the moment im flying the 146's in and out of Paro!! =P
I was running on 512mb, then changed it to 4GB. Huge Difference! really easy to do, most laptops have it stored under neath it, so its only a screw or two and then just clip it out. Well worth the £30!!
