Yea but when you spend more on a wheel and pedals, the actual quality of
them goes up by a lot. When you do the same with a stick and throttle, the
$100 one has just as bad plastic parts as the $40 one. Build a Momo Force
for airplanes and you'll get my attention.

I run IL2 Forgotten Battles w. Ace Expansion Pack on my system, with the
Hotas Cougar and Elite Rudder Pedals.
I love the sim, to me it is about the most realistic wwII sim I have flown.
I like it much better than CFS3.

I do however, have it fairly relaxed in difficulty - that is one thing I
really like, you can really tweak the difficulty to about anything you like.
