What hardware are you using for flight?

For me:Saitek yokeSaitek pedals40inch lcd screenSaitek gear working well, except for toe brakes. Would like to be able to calibrate the yoke better.40 inch screen is brilliant, the big screen really showed up fsx's engine issues. Autogen looks far more convincing. I tried flight on a normal monitor initially, fsx and flight look closer quality-wise on this. But fire up the lcd tv and the autogen down low really shines.Goflight modules - no functionality yet, but am going to start mapping functions with gfkeys today. Should work fine for those controls which have key commands assignable.Trackir - i have done all my flights with this - it doesn't work, of course. Perhaps i think if i fly with it on microsoft will implement it?? :)Vri insight mcp2 - doesn't work at all at the moment. Would be good for settings obs1, baro etc. anyone know if vrinsight has plans for support?An evening with flight has comvinced me to upgrade my yoke to a pfc model. The main thing i need is microsoft to add more key controls in the sim so everything can be controlled with a keypress - then i can get all the goflight gear working.

I've now used gfkeys to map what's mappable to a couple of goflight switch panels.The cockpit switches are (nearly) all clickable, but the key binding available in the menu are pretty minimal.I've got lights, cockpit canopy, map and exiting the aircraft linked to swithces. I've also got a second switch panel that turns on the checklists and lets me select/step through them.It would be really cool if all th cockpit switches had a key assigned or mappable to them, gfkeys would then give full functionality.Trim, flaps, gear and parking brake are all assigned to yoke or throttle switches and working just fine.Mixture and prop rpm work fine on the saitek throttle quad.No way to control radio/nav stack and transponder from hardware at present. I wonder if VrInsight or saitek have plans to provide support to Flight?

Do you have the 'switch panel'? I do, but I don't think they work. . .otherwise, Saitek Yoke + pedals, Dell 32" 2560x1600 and GTX275 running at 'high' and smooth as butter.

And to illustrate one of the beauties of Flight...I'm running it on a 2 year old A505 Toshiba laptop... with a mousepad, not even a mouse... and having fun! I have a Logitech Extreme joystick, but so far I haven't even found it necessary to hook it up... but I probably will soon.I'm not getting the gorgeous graphics a lot of you have, but what I AM getting is fine with me...

I've got 5 goflight switch and rotary units installed in my MIP. The GFKeys program maps a switch movement to a key output. So if MS has keybindings for all the switches in the cockpit i could control everything with hardware even though there's no driver support. At the moment, though, it just a few things like lights and canopy that i can map - fun, but i'd love to be able to all the checklists with no keyboard/mouse usage.Unless saitek has a similar program for their swicth panel (which i dont think they do), you'd need driver support - which may eventually eventuate. I'm having enough fun with Flight that I'm going to invest in a PFC yoke. Am certainly spending a lot more time with HOTAS (and feet on pedals - FOP?) than my last 6 months of ngx-ing.

Thrustmaster Cougar modded with U2NXT gimball mod, and hall sensors in both stick and throttleThrustmaster Elite Rudder Pedals - also modded with Hall SensorsSamsung 24" LED widescreenSamsung 22" LCD widescreenTrack IR 4 Pro - MS Please please, add support for TIR to Flight, I really miss flying with it! I am hoping it gets added soon...Logitech G19 gaming keyboardI really like my flight setup, the only issue I had was the sensitivity was a bit too high for my Cougar, but a quick edit to the xml file to increase the nullzone fixed that. I wish there were some sliders for joystick setup instead.
