Personally speaking, no, I don't; I've a lowly MX420 which has been perfectly adequate for my use so far. However.... > 2) you think it's a good idea to enhance a bit some visual aspect of > Flightgear or you think that only simulation count > and all the rest is useless eye candy ;) That's not to say that if the eye candy was available in FG I wouldn't upgrade to take advantage of it! I don't think there's any doubt that the "physics" and avionics simulation is the most important thing in this particular project. At the same time, the visual aspects are not unimportant, as they are also a big part of the overall "feel". So long as the eye candy is easily disabled by those with creaking hardware, it can only be an improvement in my view.
