I am sure this will be asked 1,000 times, so I appreciate your patience in advance.
I am a long-time gamer but new to flight sims. I have enjoyed flight sim videos on youtube for a while and with the advent of MSFS20, I had an idea:
My dad is retired, ex-Navy who was a navigator on nuclear subs. I suspect if I gifted him a new PC with MSFS20 plus controllers, he would enjoy it very much. (He played MSFS many many years ago and is computer savvy.)
My questions are:
1) Do you have a buying guide for controllers? (Yoke, throttle, pedals, etc.) I see the Logitec throttle and yoke on Amazon running for about $300. I see the more serious simmers saying they aren't great in the amazon reviews, but many people saying they are good entry-level stuff and they score 4.5 stars out of hundreds of reviews. Looking for entry level and spending under $500.
2) Should I buy pedals right away or wait?
3) One of my goals is to play remotely with my Dad. I assume MSFS will allow us to either fly together in separate planes or for one of us to take the role of co-pilot. Can anyone confirm?
4) Any other advise?
Thanks agian!
