Low-cost, simplistic approach

Greetings! I'm new around here. I hope my input isn't too basic for you folks....

Although I would enjoy a cockpit that looks more like the inside of an actual airplane, the restrictions of the world have intervened,

I saw you post, and I figured I would POP in on it, I use a Logitech extended 3d pro joy stick and a Nostromo "52" by Belkin ( there are three of these are on Ebay currently)

the "52" has 4 programmable "stages" for all of it's 27 keys that it has, so if you break down what keys you use when: cold cockpit, take-off, in flight, landing...each stages can be used for different times of the flight.

the nice thing about it is it is designed to form to the palm of your hand using a palm rest.

GREAT stuff guys, THANKS!

A bit of a different tak on the "cockpit" idea....... but certainly one approach to take when constraints get in the way of a full sized 747 shell in your living room and a Trust Fund in your life.   ;)

best,
