Holiday Purchase Wishlists & Recommendations for Microsoft Flight Simulator 

Great video, packed with great info! My biggest steps in immersion for GA were the honeycomb throttle and yoke followed closely by TPR rudder pedals. I had some under $200 pedals and they were a total waste of $ IMHO. And you said 'extensible' - love having a literate YT person, I'm a sub!

Thanks!

Urgh! I wouldn't have even shown a Captain Sim airplane without a caption saying, "Do NOT buy under any circumstances!" My personal recommendation is if you don't own a PMDG 737 then buy one. It is by far the most polished airplane out there and IMO the 737-800 is the best overall variant of them. The Fenix is comparable to the PMDG's 737s but the "free" FBW A20N is the best freeware airplane out there and I don't think paying the big bucks for a Fenix justifies the additional bells and whistles that the Fenix adds on. As regards priorities to blow your money on then, peripherals you will probably use all the time, a favourite airplane a lot of the time and a piece of scenery occasionally. So blow your money accordingly.

Great video and I agree that you don't know what you're missing until you get some rudder pedals. It was last Christmas that I got my Logitech pedals and I don't know why I waited so long.
