Unfortunately the sort of equipment they'd like to bundle with FlightGear is not the same as Joe Average somehow FlightGear- contributor or at least -enthusiast is able to afford. If I had the chance to do so then I'd go out for a set of console, radio stack, pedals and power quadrants manufactured by FlightLink. >From my understanding these guys really took the route for maximum reality in the PeeCee flightsim sector - especially the mechanics of their pedals appear to make much sense. Unfortunately there's no reseller whom you could visit for a trial and as a complete set that represents the equipment for a small, IFR-equpipped twin costs you about 6k USD I don't see any chance to get hold of such a set in the future (for this money I'd try to get a twin rating for real life ...). The CH controls I had the ability to get my hands on all have one significant drawback as they are centered by an almost linear spring load.
