I picked it up last week and have been spending a decent amount of time on it. I'm really enjoying it. Anyone else playing?

Was kind of considering getting a flight stick setup but idk, the xbox controller works decent enough I guess.

I'm playing on PC. 3800x, 2080S, 32 GB RAM. I also have Index VR, but mostly I've been playing on my 2k monitor. With having to use the keyboard for some inputs, it doesn't lend itself well to VR. That's kind of why I'm thinking of getting Thrustmaster HOTAS system with peddles. Then I could use the VR and not have to 'find' the keyboard.

Yup. I've had the Hotas X for about 5 or 6 years now, and you can set up rudders on it if you don't want to spend the extra on pedals.

flightsim.to has loads of free custom airports, aircraft, and bush trips once you start getting bored of the basics.

I think my favourite 2 addons are:

  • Neofly - You get to fly delivery missions from airport to airport for "money" which you can then use to "buy" other airplanes to add to your fleet.

  • MFS AddOn Collector - I'd install it first. It lets you manage which planes/liverey/scenery you add for a flight.

That is cool there is place to get free mods. I was looking at the Microsoft market place and they really nickel and dime you to death for add-ons.

You'd recommend the Hotas X then? It seems reasonably priced.

It depends how serious you think you'll get about it. It's just my opinion, but I'd go fairly cheap right now, because the mid to high end hardware has jumped up in price a lot due to the release of msfs, and also "These trying and difficult times."TM

If you think you're going to be gung-ho about it, then go for the cool stuff.

That said, the hotas-x works as good as new, and is sufficient to map most flight functions to.
