Which FLIGHT SIM peripherals should YOU BUY? Top 5 Peripherals to buy NOW!

[@RyanVJones]

A critical note about the Logitech yoke, is due to its limited range of motion, the sim will double the amount of input. For example a 45 degree input will be interpreted by the software as a 90 degree bank. For a student pilot like me, this was a major deal breaker. I went with the Honeycomb Alpha yoke and could not be happier

[@edwinsand7749]

You are right with that comment, I got the Logitech X56 last week, and is impossible to get 100% control, so I returned it today and ordered the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke with Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant Bundle. Happy learning to all!

[@jingle1161]

@@edwinsand7749 I also returned the X56. I was tempted by the large range of buttons and switches but the quality is terrible. Annoying dead center detent on the joystick, cheap switches, cheap plastics. Not worth the money.

Great video! Hello from Phoenix Arizona in the USA. I’m a private pilot I got my license at Phoenix sky Harbor in 1987. The last five years I’ve not been flying due to medical reasons. Now I’m discovering all these new flight Sam’s in the ability to have some really cool stuff at home. It’ll give me a chance to brush up on my skills stay current and learn all of this new incredible technology. I’ve been searching for a video like this to show me the hardware options that are available. A video like this has been hard to fine so thank you for doing it. I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I would recommend the MFG Crosswind. It's a ruder pedal build in croatia. Very sturdy and the support you get is invaluable. You can even get hydraulic dampeners to even have a more realitic feeling

[@JorisKoolen]

Love the list and how you really catered it to beginners. If you are a bit short on money, or space, or don't feel like setting up a lot of gear every time: I am just flying MSFS with a simple stick with a twist rudder function and a small throttle lever, controlling everything else with the mouse (including mixture and propellers). While there are a ton kf ways to improve that setup, it still gives the full functionality of everything the sim does, and it's fun to learn the cockpits by having to find and adjust the actual virtual controls.

[@Topper_Harley68]

Why should beginners buy crap like those Saitek (Logi) controllers? Better to start with something like TM.

[@astropeanut-cl6fi]

I have had my Logitech yoke and pedals fora decade. They are great. I recently added a couple of panel. They make a huge difference to training flights but the immersive view of a vr headset is amazing.

[@judd_s5643]

Instead of VR with you might want to consider Tobii eye tracker. It gives you that range of vision without a headset. This allows you to use those panels.

[@chartphred1]

You missed the best of the lot though. VKBs line-up of sticks and Winwing as well. I've got both, and are far better than the Logitech stuff will ever be. VKB sticks are modular, with sticks that you can swap buttons around with. Then there's the software behind them that is the most incredibly versatile and flexible stuff I've ever seen in a stick. For example you can program a mini-stick (4-way hat) to act as a mouse. Or change the colours of LEDs to flash or blink at different rates and speed or colour. The combinations are almost endless. There's a bunch of add on modules available as well. Worth a look.

[@CapitaineNautilus]

I would put Track IR on that list, just behind the HOTAS/Yoke as it adds so much immersion and simplicity at a cheap price. I'm surprised you did not mention it.

[@Hoffie92]

either the Track-IR 5 or the Tobii eye tracker are both a great pick. The track IR has more precise head tracking over the tobii, but the tobii adds eye tracking and you don't need a attachment for your headset or hat

[@yeahfelix]

"such a cheap price" yeah right sure

[@hhall1932]

The only thing I'd swap is yoke and pedals. Even though the x56 has twist grip, its not a good habit to get onto of you intend to fly irl. After using the x3d pro for years I really have to think and remind myself to use rudder when I go up for real. But apart from that, great video

[@yukon_wilderness]

[@TheGersh18]

[@rwhunt99]

I fly in DCS and I must say; you left out something considerably less expensive to the VR Headsets, and that is the Track IR head tracking units that allow you to get truly immersive at a much reduced cost. The Natural Point Track IR headset comes in two flavers - a cheaper reflective headset that you mount on a cap, and the Pro version that uses a sensor and LED's that provide you the ability like VR headsets to look around the cockpit and flying environment without having to use a hat switch on your stick or a keyboard combination. There are other even less expensive choices that use a Web Cam you might already have, too. I agree with your choices, I started out with the X-52 and then moved up to the X-56 and have had great luck and fun with them, although I am saving for a top of the line joystick like you mentioned. Even though I am choked by a tight budget, I hope to move up to a better throttle also. I do have the Logitech Rudder Pedals and they work great too!

[@Horrylite]

Great video. I ordered a flight yoke from a sportys pilot shop back in 2020 and after 5 months it never came in. I bought it because of the release of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. I recently built a new PC for around $3500 and I cannot wait to get back into it.

[@jay-rus4437]

With a small budget, my personal recommendation is VKB NXT with the GNX throttle quadrant. Simple, effective controller setup. Then, stay “IN” the sim. Dont add a bunch of hardware outside the sim. Instead stay in the sim and utilize the controls within the simulator. This helps with immersion, as well as allows flight of all types of aircraft since you wont be stuck with one type of cockpit layout.

I just bought the Velocity One Yoke, Rudder and 3 Logitech panels. I do think on buying the Bravo throttle quadran, but must wait for sufficient income this set is very expansive. Anyway I am thinking on buying a new Powerfull PC to run simulator like MSFS and TSW 3 ETC.

[@oculicious]

VR should be #2 IMO, I've been playing with a joystick and throttle i nvr for years, no pedals. Just fly the robin og other stick aircraft and use the twist for rudder. Im getting a yoke and pedals now, but I've had plenty of fun in VR without, way more than I would have in flatscreen

[@MsOpportunity68]

With regard to the twist grip rudder, over rudder pedals. The amount of control that you have when you move to true rudder pedals is immense. On Elite Dangerous I was able to adjust the yaw of my ship whilst simultaneously rolling and using the lateral thrusters in a way that never felt possible with the X52s twist rudder. It just felt so natural. Also learning to take off in a single engine aircraft and using the pedals to counteract the yaw, is something that isn't really possible with a twist grip, as moving the stick to take off tends to affect the twist that you have applied.

[@bangyahead1]

To concur with your list I have: Logitech X52 Pro, which is good but frustrating in some ways. That prompted the purchase of a Thrustmaster Warthog and Logitech rudder pedals. I use both so as to have more buttons and less keyboard interaction. They pair mighty well with an Oculus Quest 2. The Quest 2 is so awesome I hardly ever play War Thunder, or any other VR compatible games, without it. Yes, it is literally a game changer. Once you get used to VR you'll never go back. VR is hard but so much more fun than standard 2d gaming.

Before you get a VR headset, I'd try and test it out first. I got a VR headset for DCS and found that I got extremely nauseated using it (could only play for like 15 minutes at a time doing maneuvers before I felt like puking). I've heard other people say the same thing. Honestly, I'd recommend a headtracker first. Many DCS players simply use the headtracker and do just fine. The tough part with the headtracker is you need to eliminate the light coming into the room as that can mess up the track IR.

[@PowerZhea]

This is actual very useful information. I wonder if you got a video like this for racing games etc, like different steering wheels etc.

[@TheCrash1983]

i would have put trackir or eye tracking over vr and even pedals as most sticks have a twist axis

if u recommend x56 that only looks pretty but its shit components inside thats not make sense to watch till end. after 2y for this price and u can drop it to trash. they made as cheap quality as possible to cut the cost of productions. so its like 80% price is just for brand.

[@airste172]

As a participant in simulation and real aviation since 98, I'm impressed with the advancements that software has made, but my opinion about peripherals is that the offerings are relatively pathetic. I say this in view of the fact that Microsoft had accomplished a force feedback stick ages ago while manufacturers these days are producing toy-like devices in the form of yokes at extravagant prices. My cheap 15 year old set of CH Products yoke and pedals does the job every bit as well as, if not better than anything I've tried out that's in the current market while being the absolutely least expensive.

I have the Saitek Cessna yoke. It‘s basically the same as the Logitech Pro yoke but with +-90 degrees aileron instead of +-45 degrees and a little bit different design. Good thing althoug it‘s old. Had a cheap deal at ca. 60€ a few years ago. But it feels cheap, especially the throttle. And the throttle now slowly gets unprecise. Anyhow for less than 100€ I would recommend the Saitek Cessna yoke which is unfortunately not available new. The Saitek/Logitech rudders are fine. Not precise but good enough, feet are not as precise as the hands.

[@paulthurston2883]

The Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is the best add on I've bought. I have a VR headset (Quest 2) but its so uncomfortable and just a pain to set up and pack away. Tobii works with MSFS, Xplane, DCS, many other sims too.

[@EbonySeraphim]

Your top three (hotas, yoke) I'd group as one. Next, rudder pedals yes. I think putting VR next is controversial. I prefer head tracking over VR because of the scaled movement. In combat flight simulators, you are checking behind you and it's high effort in VR to actually turn your head around 180 degrees. I don't see why they can't scale movement with VR as well, but when I tried it last this was not something you could do. I think StreamDeck should be on this list as well and I see that you have one as well. While there are so many various panels you can buy from Virpil, Winwing, Logitech, TakeControl etc, a StreamDeck is super flexible and more importantly gives you feedback. It's well placed front and center as a UFC repeater as well for fast data entry on those planes. I haven't had mine long enough to know if it's more important than my MFD Cougar even in a combat sim. If you fly mostly or entirely MSFS, definitely the SteamDeck is the device to get.

[@Hebdomad7]

They don't scale movement in VR because if your head turned 45° but the world turned 180°, you would get instant motion sickness.

[@mikas2051]

Also! If one would skip VR it really is possible to use an older pc with a 1080 nvidia card to get a very pleasant experience on a screen, even a wide one. Or using a full HD projector for a large picture. VR is really hogging the system. But I agree it can be gamechanging and urge anyone who likes sims to try it. If you can manage the motion sickness some people experience it is a next level experience. And motionsickness in VR was only a problem for me the first times I tried it.

[@barryhall3971]

I got the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo plus the Logitech pedals but one important thing I didn't think of is a chair without wheels on it! It is very annoying to have feet on pedals and hands on yoke and throttle and the damn chair is wandering backwards. There have been real world accidents where the seat in a plane has come unlocked, sliding backwards causing the pilot to pull back on the yoke and enter a departure stall - and die! The consequences would likely be much less severe on a sim however.

[@randomuser1911]

2:50 I wouldnt necessarily agree that a yoke gives more emersion. Whilst it is true that a lot of civil aircraft use a yoke, there are still plenty which use a stick (including all airbus's and a lot of light aircraft). On the same note, several light aircraft don't use a standard throttle either, but that doesn't diminish the emersion. Overall I would say either yoke or stick can/will provide equal emersion.

[@vfx7t]

The use of electronic control technology is adequate, as it is only required for flight phases other than taxiing and takeoff, as well as certain maneuvers after takeoff. The autopilot handles most of the main tasks in flight and during landing, electronic controls are sufficient to allow the autopilot to perform the majority of operations. In this context, investing in additional equipment that will not accurately reflect reality may not be justified.

I would just go with a higher end HOTAS. Even if you have to save up or use credit. The X56 is just a really bad HOTAS for the price. If you are going to spend over $200, you might as well buy a Thrustmaster Warthog or better. Buy on credit and pay over 12 months. Remember though, with a Warthog you will have to have rudder pedals. Also get the HP Reverb G2 over the Quest 2. You can usually get the G2 on sale for $399, so $100 more than the Q2 and the display is so much better. The Quest 2 display is very bad and washed out. I sent mine back after three days, it was so bad. You don't need a top end card either for the G2, I am running a Asus 1080, not a the TI, just a 1080. I get 30-35 FPS in MSFS and DCS. I know a lot of people think that is bad, but in reality it is the same as a 2D screen running at 60-70fps.

The 8KX is better when it comes to the data sheet, but it's easily 3 times as expensive if you factor in the lighthouses and controlers, needs A LOT more grunt from your PC, has way worse shipping times and customer support, is way more bulky and way less comfortable... It's a trade off. If visual clarity is all to you, FOV is important and money is no object, get the Varjo Aero. If FOV is king for you and you are both, tech savy and willing to troubleshoot strange behavior, get the PiMax 8KX. If you don't want to spend 3-5 times the money for an slightly better experience, get the G2.

[@JackRLong12]

Not even when this video was posted was the Vibe the best VR headset for flight sim if you have money there are many different options that blow that out of the water.

The Logitech/Saitek recommendations seem a little out of date imho, with Thrustmaster and VKB offering imho quite a lot better entry level Joysticks/Hotas. T1600M, Airbus Edition and VKB Gladiator NXT Line have quite a lot going for them imho, and Thrustmasters Boing Edition is a quite interesting alternative to the Honeycomb.

I have a flight stick although i still really want to get a yoke for most planes and also a VR headset for full emersion

[@argonwheatbelly637]

Yeah, but if you fly a cub, then a stick is fine.

Hey man I have a quick question I have the sainted yoke and throttle quadrant but I have 2 throttle quadrants with the weird entry how did you connect both

[@_alienblood]

Great video do you know where its possible to purchase the actual 737 Throttle Quadrant I have the levers and knobs ty.

Not bad. I have seen the extreme where some have gone to the bone yard and purchased cockpits from a Cessna 182 to a 737 and gone hog wild crazy with interfacing actual controls to a multitude of linked computers. A good way to get kicked into the dog house from the better half.
