I have been a Flight Sim 'fanatic' since 1984 with FS2 on a PC Jr. I remember when the only available "add--ons" were the wonderful books written by my friend Charlie Gulick. I have to say I really started out doubting this new product. But after getting the initial problems sorted out with the professional technical team at Natural Point, thank you Wayne, I am sold on the IR3 Pro with its Vector Expansion kit.I have, and am now, participated in many, many betas in the FS world. I think I have just found the best combination of products that really give me the feel of immersion, which I always looked for.The addition of the IR3 Pro and its Vector Expansion, along with my CH USB Throttle Quadrant, Yoke & Pedals rounded out my experience. My good friend, Gerry Robins, has been taunting me with his beautiful setup, consisting of 6 networked computers, providing 5 outside views and a panel with a full Go-Flight system. That is the best of all worlds.However, until I get a lot more free time and the confidence to manage all that equipment, I am extremely happy and content with my present setup. I just completed a short flight with the DC3, and the combination of having the use of multiple throttle levers along with the freedom of viewing with the IR3 Pro, was as close to the feeling of being in the actual cockpit that I have ever felt in Flight Simulator.Thank you to all of you really smart people out there who develop all this wonderful hardware and software.Happy Holidays and a Healthy and Propsperous 2005 for all of us.Howard Bloom

BTW, I am not affiliated in any way with either CH or Natural Point, other than being a satisfied customer.
