So I am looking at the Microsoft Flight Simulator. Has anyone bought the pedals and throttle for their PC?
I assume the KOLB uses a stick and not a Yolk?
Does anyone have any pics of the throttle and stick?

Wes, I have bought 3 versions of Microsoft Flight Sim, none have worked
properly, and I don't think they support it any more, not much support when
they did. There are others out there but I haven't tried any of them.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I got interested as Paul Hamilton has a section on it on his website. beasportpilot.com
Your experience with it makes me think twice about it.

Microsoft Flight Simulator. Has anyone bought the pedals and throttle for
their PC?>>
I have a stick which twists to provide rudder control. That works OK.#
The pedals I bought did not.
There is also an attachment to your cap which ,through a little receiver
clipped to the screen enables you to change view by turning your head.
Worked for a while then failed and I am not computer savvy enough to sort
it out.
My control stick has a throttle attached which is fine but it could do with
a trimmer. Change of view is controlled by a `hat` on the stick. That is OK.
I use the X plane version. This has a weightshift and a Piper Cub at the
light aircraft end of the offerings with a nice gentle fly in Cross country
and also landing the Cub on the top of a moving van. I have not managed that
yet.
There are now some very good additions of photographic scenery these days if
you like VFR flying.
Pat.
