Sure  If you are interested in having an economy in the game there is a site called fseconomy where you start with little money and fly jobs to work your way up to buying better aircraft. It is quite fun. They keep track of everything on the server and there is a little app that you run while flying that keeps track of how much fuel you used and whatnot. Very cool.

there is also an addon called Cargo Pilot that lets you start your own cargo carrier company with buying and leasing aircraft as well as hiring other pilots, etc

Just been to PC World and seen the joystick I want. They had it set up on a gaming PC with MSF on and it was amazing.

That one only lasted me 6 weeks before the sensors started getting jittery on me.

... damnable gimmicks.

My current stick is

Expensive as hell, but I think worth it.

Anyone ever complete the Red Bull Air Race track they provide? If so, what's your time (penalties included)? That thing is harder than it looks; and I've watched my share of those races too. Those pilots are insane.

I completed the practice one with something like five minutes in penalties... I'm embarrassed about the final time though so...

Just a heads up, none of my 3 Saitek joysticks lasted more than a year.
My CH joystick and throttle, however, are still functional.

My X36 w/throttle has lasted almost a decade. Granted, they weren't in use for a certain amount of that(and were in fact, broken when I got them), but they survived the move from Florida(which was considerably unkind to some of my other possessions).

Only problem with it is a slight list on some of the axes, but those might be a calibration issue.

I just signed up for fseconomy. Some minor server issues at the moment, but otherwise looks good. I'm about to make my first flight with it.
