snip Curt singing the praises of Black Widow or Alienware ... ? 

Well, I'd guess the CH products line are going to be high on the list. I
have their USB rudder pedals and have been very impressed - though they
were £100+. They've definitely improved my (sim) flying and are accurate
enough to sideslip with, 

However, I think my wife would have a fit if I bought a Yoke - at least
the pedals can be kept out of sight of visitors!

Sounds like a good project Curt.

My best experience with simulation hardware was in a ELITE FNPT II simulator
(www.flyelite.ch) with forcefeedback yoke and pedals and a nice stack of fake 
king com/nav/autopilot and a real GNS430 in simulation mode. 
They sell their controls separately and they should be working with fg. I was 
not able to persuade the flightschool that just bought that nifty toy to kick 
out the windows based original software by a linux based flightgear 
installation, so I was not able to check this out.
