Certain video game experiences are better with specialist hardware. Driving games have their wheels, fighting games have their arcade sticks, and flight sims have all sorts: joysticks, throttles, switch panels, yokes... you can even build a full flight deck, if you've got the means.
Our question is: what do these components really add to the experience when playing Microsoft Flight Simulator? How important are they? And if the answer is "very", do you have any recommendations?
Tell us all about the difference that special hardware makes to the sim experience (or doesn't) in writing or video. The ten best entries get $2 apiece!
Task: Tell us how much special hardware matters in Flight Sim and optionally make a recommendation
Format: Original writing or video, any length
