Best two HardWare Purchases for your simming pleasure?

Featured Replies

Following the same theme as best A/C and Top Regrets threads. Figured I'd start one for the Hardware forum. What have been your best two purchases for your increased simming pleasure?

 

Mine are:

 

- Revodrive- took my FSX loads from 4+ minutes to sub 30 seconds.

-Three 24inch ACER monitors (NVSurround)- Negated my need for TrackIR.

 

Runner UP

-ButtKicker- What's not to say its immersive and makes for a great massage.

Easy...

* Dell Ultrasharp 30" 2560x1600 monitor

* Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog controller

1) Rudder Pedals

2) a SSD - at least until I get around to buying a TrackIr 5

Pitch + Power = Performance

1. A complete set of CH Products controllers: Combatstick, Pro Throttle, Pro Pedals and Flight Sim Yoke. While you can get by with just a joystick, swapping out controllers depending on the aircraft you fly really helps.

 

2. TrackIR5. If I had to give up a few controllers or TrackIR, it would be a hard decision.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

  1. CH Yoke and throttles
  2. An amazing set of rudder pedals (that is no longer made.)
  3. TripleHead2Go and three screens

I'd like to say VRInsight EFIS/MCP/Com combo but very few airplanes really support that kind of hardware yet.

The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and my i5 2500K

TrackIR 5

 

Thats all I can think of because most of my Saitek hardware has failed.
